its a new world
they pay these qbs too much money to not have them out there
There is no logic behind that statement, but you aren't the first to say it.
It doesn't matter if you are paying him 90% of your cap, if he's doing nothing he's doing nothing. It hurts nothing to pull nothing out of a game. It doesn't cost them more money to sit him down for 1.5 quarters. The only thing it hurts is the ego's of those that paid him 84 million. But that's not part of the football game. Only the games matter. Then the next game he's back starting so who cares? It's just part of football to spark if needed.
The drive to the endzone after halftime I guess you could point to as a positive sign to keep him in. They moved forward enough there. But the jokes just kept coming. They needed a spark attempt.
