Now if they lose at NYJ, he'll say the Raiders and Chargers games are divisional games that are too risky to put on the shoulders of a rookie quarterback with no experience.

It's no different than exercising - there's always an excuse not to do it if you're looking for one and Andy Reid is clearly looking for one. What you say is a reason not to bench Alex I would have called a perfect cause for doing precisely that.

So, yeah ... they did it with Peyton. Are you going back to the Plummer days, Orton or somehow counting Brock in that mix? Most everyone else (Griese, Cutler, Tebow, the guys there now) were draft picks.

Oh sure, leave Eli in to beat KC, then blow everything before playing the Raiders.

Andy is stubborn as hell and will stick with his original plan to sit Pat all year and thinks he can still fix Alex.

I don't understand why they wouldn't just start Webb to see what they have, unless they think Geno could possibly be the guy. Which seems unlikely.

We need to have a thread that compares performances of Geno and Alex for remainder of the year.
