That doesn't mean there wouldn't be a higher percentage of us pointing out the reality of the situation, compared to what we've seen from the brain injured Bills fans this week, but every fan base has them.

I would have no qualms admitting that I would prefer to play the backup. Not that I would feel it was necessary to win, but anything that improves your chances you take.

What I wouldn't do is call the concussion protocol a fraud

Point taken though, there would probably be some threads on it
