Hold onto the ball, Murray!

Maybe Josh didn't have the best year, but it wasn't from lack of trying and he did manage to win almost as many games as he lost. If you are going to beat him up for the loses, you have to give him credit for the wins.
If you think about it, we should have won both SF games, but the D didn't hold up. That would have put McCown's W/L record at 8 and 5. Not bad for a first year starter.
Josh is still on this team and may end up having to start this year. If this is the kind of support he's going to get, it'll make it that much tougher for him.
In those games McCown started that the team won, the team did so for the most part in SPITE of McCown, not BECAUSE of McCown. He played like crap for most of those wins, and just because the team happened to win, doesn't mean he's the reason.
