I get your point but I just didn't see value debating the merits of basically two QB's who don't belong in the NFL. I'm more focused on what's next and who's next. I say cut Trent and bring back Levi - play all our kids and lose the Kelsay's and Greens and othe retreads who have no future. Take our lumps this year and give some kids with upside precious playing time now.

Apparently the OP read Sullivan's wasted space of a column this morning. Since when is moving your players around to create some synergy panic? That's why you have more than one player at each position. Sometimes you bench one and play another to get better results. If Gailey is in a full panic, what would you call Lindy Ruff's style? He benches players weekly. It's called "coaching" and you may want to study some other teams sometime and see that moving players around is not that rare.

Yup. Jerry was once a pretty good reporter and is now just a media buffoon. It's his job to create controversy so his paper gets read and can sell ads to make a profit. His radio gig is the same...create controversy to get people to listen to either hate him or love him. So he's really no longer about sports, he's a entertainer who uses naysaying as his vehicle to get read and heard. If Chan made no move on the QB situation, Sullivan would have B'slapped him for being stubborn and married to a loser QB. Chan benches TE and now he's indecisive and "desperate." Sully could care less about real reporting and really about sports anymore. He's a media hound who is making some good bucks p*ssing peopole off. It's his schtick. If he bothers you, do what I do. I don't read or listen to him for the most part and when I do it's with the knowledge that he is no longer a sports reporter who cares about analysis or really about the game itself.

So what does that have to do with a thread that bemoans the loss of JP Losman? Both TE and JP suck so why a thread measuring the depth to which they both suck???? That was my point.

Derek, Nice post. I agree with almost all. You're right about our talent level meaning we have zero margin for error. Watching the game, I couldn't help but feel what a waste of time it it to be playing Kelsay and Cornell Green among others. We are in a complete rebuild. Put the young guys out there and take our lumps now and see if they grow and get better. Watching Kelsay lumber after an atheletic TE is not something I want to watch again. Watching Cornell Green move like Dancing Bear on speed rushes raises the question of how much worse would Wang be? At least he has upside. Let's move on and play the kids.

This thread is ridiculous. Are we really going to waste time talking about which failed QB is better than another failed QB? Really? I'm out.....

Good call on Chan's part to bench Trent. Now cut him and let's be done with it. Play Fitzy to the Bye and let Brohm finish the season. Why play guys that won't grow anymore or won't be here. Now that Trent's done, move on Marshawn and trade him for some picks. Let's stop playing Kelsay, Cornell Green and the like and put in guys who need the playing time to improve. If we are going to lose while rebuilding, let's not lose with washed up veterans or guys who won't be here next year. Play the kids and let's take our lumps this year.

At the end of the day Chan did the right thing. He tried to rehab Trent...but realized early on that this guy is a coach-killer and moved on him. I would cut Trent now and sign Levi back and get Brohm ready to play after the Bye. Time to move on.

Jesus Beavis, calm the Hell down! You're 11 posts in and there's no need to brawl with everyone. Your premise is that we can never succeed because our owner is 91 is really not valid. He was 80 when we were in Super Bowls and he's still pretty much the same guy...just more creaky. So I don't buy it. We suck because we have had poor leadership the past ten years. The old many brought in his guy, Marv and Marv wasn't up to it . Ralph finally hired a football guy who now has to make up ten years of poor drafts. So let's see.

I would have to agree. Why lose with Trent, Kelsay, Cornell Green and other vets and over-the-hill folk? Let's lose with Brohm,Wang, Maybin, Meredith, the young linebackers et al. They need the playing time and we're going nowhere. Let's admit it's a tear-down rebuild and collect some draft picks. I'm even thinking Evans can go if we get some value for him. We're doing ground up. Face it and let's do it right.

That's right. Many of us have been saying it from day one of the new FA regime, we are going to suck this year and it's it's going to be a tough rebuild. We've drafted poorly over the past decade and one draft ain't gonna fix it. You're best new players are last year's rookies. My only beef with Nix and Chan right now is let's just go for it. Lose Trent, lose Cornell Green, don't have Kelsay covering tight ends, trade Marshawn and play the kids. If we are going to suck, let's suck with rooks and young players who need the playing time and not with washed up vets and palyers with no upside. Screw it, put in Maybin until we know he can't play and move on him. Play the young linebackers. Play CJ. Play Brohm. Play Wang and Meredith, play Nelson and let's start with the total rebuild and be done with it.

Trent threads have come....and gone...for three years now. The only thing that interests me now is what kind of coach Chan is. If...no, sorry, as Trent continues to panic and check down on three man rushes....will Chan pull him and how soon will that happen? After last week, I give Trent the Green Bay game to show some skills and toughness or to get yanked and cut. In your hearts we all know it's time to move on. If I'm wrong and he blossoms, I welcome the beating I will take on TSW as we will have a real QB. If I'm right, we need to mitigate the damage now and put a guy in with some upside.

Agree...we're rebuilding and Buddy & Chan have a lot of holes to fill.

Ummm, the Patriots have more talent and are in a much diffeent place than we are. We're doing a ground up rebuild, what don't you get about that?

I love this thread! All the p*ssers and moaners, hand wringers and "woe is us" folks all in one place. You guys follow each other around and dress alike? Jeez, a bad stop gap player, you're right, Nix and Gailey gotta go.....they shoulda brought in an elite LT and QB and some stud linebackers. The idiots...why didn't they just ask TSW.

+1

This is just the plain and honest truth.

Absolutely right. O-line wasn't great but TE played scared even with protection. Sam Bradford outplayed Trent today. Give him another game and if it is more of the same you have to go with Brohm or Fitz.

Bell played well. Green was was a disaster. Trent was awful. Don't lose sleep over Bell, worry about the QB and RT. Why not play Merideth and Brohm. At least they have upside. Trent and Green are done.

No. I stopped reading at your post Lou. What the frick is the point of this? Play some games before you start wringing your hands......

Let's play a few games before you continue your knee jerk PMS hissy fit. This coach and team deserve at least that.

Sixth or 7th rounder? What are you crackerdogs? Come on man think a little.

And all but a few a foundation to build on. (BTW, good to see an old friend in the Avatar....where's Tom Servo?)
