Look at it this way: 2006 is a rough year either way.
Even if JP started this weekend, the surrounding cast of characters (read: o-line) is going to impede his development until they get their act together. So, whether he starts in week 10 or starts in week 13 doesn't matter. He still needs a healthy chunk of the 2006 season to get comfortable playing NFL football. Write it off.
But, 2006 gives the D a chance to get back on track and JP, Evans, McGahee, et al to turn into the kind of scoring machine we had way back when. In the meantime, hopefully, they are adding talent to the lines to strengthen them.
The '07 season should be when we start seeing results.
Moulds and all the WIN IT NOW! fans are not going to like this, but if you look at the length of time it takes most NFL QBs to develop, it's the truth.
Are TD and Mularkey mortgaging the future for short-term gratification? Probably. Both their asses are on the line if they don't start producing results. Or, if RCW heads to the sideline club in the sky, a new ownership group is going to sack both of them anyway.
They might be trying to polish their football resumes (with a few Ws) to set themselves up for their next stops in the league. That leaves you and me OUT of the picture. They are not trying to win now for the fans, or for the veteran players like Moulds. They certainly are NOT acting like guys who have a long-term commitment to this franchise.
