If your QB of the present is a dud ( McCown) and your Intended QB of the future shows 2 flashes mixed in with horrific play every game he plays, I guess you just say "screw it" and go with the guy with the better nickname?

This is a smart move by Pettine and maybe the only thing that can save his job. They just aren't going to win with McCown, and the only chance they have for hope for next season is if somehow Johnny Fieldgoal catches fire. It isn't likely to happen but it's the only chance to salvage this season and have hope for the future. I thought he played pretty well although had a couple of terrible plays.

Catches Fire? Nope. But they might as well let him show once and for all that he's not an NFL caliber QB with any kind of sustainable success in his future.

Nah. He could suck out loud and folks could still argue he doesn't have a team around him.

That's by far the more likely scenario. But what's probably going to happen is the EJ syndrome. He will show just enough to make a substantial amount of fans and players and coaches and management believe he still needs more time or another season to know for sure, before it's a failed experiment.

To think they could have taken Bridgewater or Carr instead...

 

 

They could have gotten Sammy or Kahlil Mack (or Evans or ODB) / Bridgewater or Carr / Bitonio. But hey, at least they got Cam Erving.....

That was probably the designed play, right? I'm sure he can sustain that and lead his team to a superbowl win just like Michael Vick did.
