The team won in San Diego last year with Huard at QB. Thigpen can't look respectable, let alone win.

I don't think losing hurts them long-term. What it does is make them more likely to quit on Herm, because they have no confidence in his schemes or play-calling or overall ability to coach. I don't think these guys will be damaged goods under the new coach because of Herm. Their growth will be hampered for sure, regardless of whether we win or lose, because of the poor coaching they receive now.

Herm is going to get fired, and get fired soon, because the team has quit on him. They may not hate him, but they have zero faith in his abilities.

Bowe's numbers are BETTER with Thigpen than with Huard. All Huard ever does is throw a jump ball duck up to Tony Gonzalez or curl in the fetal position and take a sack. That doesn't help the development of the young guys any further. Winning? Who gives a crap about winning? This team wouldn't win no matter who was in at QB.

Bowe is partly to blame for DROPPING passes week 1. He should have made that TD catch. Huard put it right where it needed to be...

I agree with you in that regardless of the QB, this team can't win. But Huard is the best QB on the roster and that's sad...

The play you're talking about is a non-issue. The Pats called timeout before the snap so it never happened.

Yes, it's very sad that Huard is most prepared QB on the roster. However, it took Huard 11 years to bring up his game to this level of suckage.

I'm pretty sure the play that didn't happen was a fade pattern that wasn't close. IIRC the real first down was the ball that Bowe dropped.
