just wait until Wiz announces that for Thursday night's game, his starter is going to be... BOTH of them, lined up in the shot-gun and the Center will decide at the snap which one of them gets it. Then, whoever comes out best under those circumstances... LOSES the job because that skill set won't ever be necessary in a game!

LOL.

See, this is the kind of stuff I was hoping for! Or that both starters sucked and Hall or Skelton went bonkers and Whis threw up his hands and cut both Matt and Anderson. Seriously people, where is the DRAMA?!?!?

That's debatable. He hasn't put enough work in to know when a WR lines up wrong apparently.

I don't think most people are recognizing how truly galling this is. He's the damn QB. How the hell can you expect him to read a defense if he can't even read the offense... WHICH HE JUST CALLED!

I thought it would get interesting. Instead, it played out in a very boring fashion, and now it's turning into the typical b.s. with too much he said/she said without anyone actually saying crap.

As an aside, I bought into Max Hall, finally.

Hey man, FWIW, I always respect your point of view and in particular, your unwavering support of Matt. I couldn't get on that train - but of course, had Matt become our leader I would've have cheered for him - but your fandom is never questioned.

Good to see you fall in line on Hall! He is truly the Seabiscuit of our day. Who knows what will eventually happen with the kid, but man, he does have some strong suport from a few dudes who know, far better than anyone else on this board, what it takes to play the position in the NFL.

I'll say this for Wiz... he sure as hell knew how to bring this place back to life.

This board ain't even close to being as fun as it is when we're debating between god-awful choices at QB!

I mean, think back to 5 years ago... there were 30 page threads about Josh McCown v. Shaun King! That's AWESOME.

He's acted like he wants the job for a long time now. :shrug:

Meh...

He's said the right things. He's showed up for practice and studied hard. If that is all that is required, then I guess you are right.

For alot of us, Matt looked pretty content sitting on the sidelines the last few years. There is no passion, no urgency in anything he does. Maybe he is just a mellow guy, but it comes off as complacent.

Finally, there was some fire, some anger. He showed a competitive side. I am a big Matt supporter, but even I was getting a little miffed at how lackadasical he's appeared this offseason after being annointed #1 on the depth chart. It's as if jerking the starting job out from under Matt finally lit a fire. That's why I say it's about damn time.

"I want an explanation."

Here's what you do Matt: You go find your coach and ask for one! Tall-ish blonde guy, goatee, wears a black hat during the games and probably has his red one on today. Bound to be someone around who can point him out to you.

Unbelievable. No wait. No, it's not. And I think that's part of the problem. You don't take this stuff to the media, you take it to the guy who can give you the blinkin' explanation.

Would anyone be shocked if there were three different starters at QB this season? If you'd asked me that 3 weeks ago I would have told you it was crazy-talk. Now, I think it's almost likely.

yup. this season could look a lot like 2005.

only way it doesn't is if our O-line somehow jells and we just start ramming the ball down people's throats.

With that statement to the media, Matt just sealed his fate.

Don't think Whis is the type that will stand for that.
