And so history repeats itself: Plummer/Cutler, Orton/Tebow, Keenum/Mayfield.

Next.

This is disingenuous at best. Plummer and Orton were both playing poorly during those seasons in which "the outcry to bench them would begin no matter how they are playing".

The difference is Dinger scrapped all of the rollout and motion and play action stuff that really benefited plumber in his previous year. They essentially set him up to fail

They put an emphasis on dropback passing, five and seven step drops specifically, if memory serves. Completely changed the dynamic of the offense and was designed for Cutler. Cue: missing the playoffs for three years...

No doubt. I think Plummer got a raw deal. But I still think top was being disingenuous in suggesting that our fans would clamor for the rookie no matter how well the starter is playing.

And I was only trying to add a little dry humor. Or maybe it's just a failed post on my part.

But it wasn't disingenuous. That's defined as lacking or having a false appearance of honesty.
I can, and have been, dead wrong on some issues, but I don't recall ever being dishonest in
the process.

But then you have to have a sense of humor to pick that up.

Ok.
