I know ....and I hate it when people do that as well.....

We can hope that McCown will suddenly have an "enlightened Moment" I suppose and either quit football and or just "Get It" finally :shrug:

Two points:

1. Shawn King screwed up two drives himself. On 3rd and about 5, he threw a 7 yard out over the head of wide-open Bryant Johnson. He also got sacked on 3rd and about 5 on our second-to-last possession. He hit 5 of 6 passes. So it's not like he played a perfect game.

2. Whoever Denny wants to start or yank is fine by me. He handles QBs better than almost anyone. In his press conference, Denny explained quite well that McCown had to avoid turnovers and had to throw the ball away more often. He also praised Josh's excellent play otherwise.

Both QBs failed to get us in the end zone and both were given run plays inside the 10 that didn't work. Josj had the QB draw and Shaun handed off to Emmitt.

Shaun King knows the system better but could never have hit a couple of those beautiful 15 yard zingers Josh threw.

I support whatever Denny does. He gets it.

For a normally objective person, you can't really be serious.

To say that King screwed up two drives and that any part of McCown's play could be described as excellent are two pretty big exagerations. It's also pretty difficult to criticize because "Hey, he's only completing 83% of his passes".

Josh, Josh he's our man
If he can't do it, Shawn King can.

I think Josh should continue to start for now. I never believed he was our answer, but I don't think King is either.

20 for 26. Good. No TDs. Bad. Something's gotta change, but I don't think it's necessarily the QB.

Doesn't it ever get old, This_Guy? Pimping the very same thing over and over? Josh played well overall with the exception of the fumbles. Now, that's a big exception, but how can you citicize most of his passes otherwise?

The underthrown ball to fitz in the endzone? I'll give you that, but then you have to takle the overthrown ball to Johnson by King that killed the drive.

King played well, but he wasn't our savior on Sunday, was he?
