A few years ago, I was hopeful you'd turned a corner. You had cleaned yourself up and had put aside your family's addiction to RQB (Retread Quarterbacks). You were finally off that garbage and doing and saying the right things.

You brought in a coach with a reputation for being a developer of QBs, a QB guru. You brought in a GM who came from an organization that had used a first-round pick on a QB, with the plan of sitting him for 2-3 years, while it's Hall of Fame signal caller aged gracefully.

So it crushed me when, after just a few weeks, you started right back up again with the RQB, and went back to it just as hard and just as doggedly as your dad ever did.

It's not worth it, Clark. You're hurting yourself. You're hurting your dad's legacy. You're hurting your team. You're hurting your fans.

I know RQB is cheap and easy and makes you lots and lots of money, and you get high on the smell of freshly handled twenties and BBQ in the parking lot.

But it is going to leave you and everyone around you hollow, bitter, and checked out... if you don't get off it for good.

Please, Clark. For yourself. For the fans. For all of us: Kick RQB to the curb once and for all. Stop rummaging through the garbage for it with John (or whatever hotshot flavor of the month you're listening to at the time). If Andy keeps trying to get you to think about it, cut him out of your life.

It's for your own good.

Sincerely-
Duncan

Oddly, some will claim Clark, or Clark's people, won't ever read this.
