Football Stupid decisions ruin the NFL! - Page 3

Start Croyle · 10:25 AM

We are all big football fans on this forum. But there are some things I just hate about the game today! I say that the biggest problem in the league is how meaningless PR decisions have become a controlling factor for many teams, rather than commitments to teamwork and team development!

What am I talking about? Well...

I hate how so many teams just change QBs on a whim in the middle of a season to try to appease the fan base. They want to sell more tickets by looking like they're "DOING SOMETHING" and so they hurt the team by making random changes! Look at Washington, Oakland, Indianapolis and Denver. They are struggling to win, so instead of trying to improve by committing to teamwork and continuity, they randomly throw new QBs into the system and just hope something sticks.

This is stupid!

Everybody knows that you can't just sign a QB to a team and put him in five days later and magically expect that the team will improve. Do you remember during the lockout controversy, how Peyton Manning said that he wanted to make sure that long training camps and team activities were kept on the table? His reason for this was because he said it was absolutely necessary to maintain a high level of play! Practice and teamwork are much more important than individual talent! You can't just randomly keep putting new players in hoping that they will cause a spark! Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way! If you think it does, you are an ignorant fan!

The same is true for coaches. Why do teams stupidly fire their coach in the middle of the season, as if this will somehow bring an improvement? It doesn't! If a team happens to win a game after that, it's just luck!

Everyone mocked and laughed at me when I made this thread, but you can see from this week's games that I was 100% correct!

First, we see the Denver Broncos, who, during a tough season inexplicably benched their proven franchise QB for an unproven 2nd/3rd stringer and promptly proceeded to get completely destroyed!

Next, the Washington Redskins, who were actually having a good season and were 3-1 on the year! Then their QB had one bad game and they throw in some guy who only played five NFL games in his entire career. The team gets crushed and is completely uncompetitive!

I like what eric007 said, that this isn't Madden. Another analogy is that it's not Fantasy Football, where you bench players just because they had a bad week stat wise.

But the best analogy I can think of is how coaches and NFL management seem to think that QB changes are like relief pitchers in the MLB! Why would you make stupid changes like this? Being the QB of a team requires a lot of practice and reps! Cohesion and planning are extremely important! If you think that you can just throw a guy into the game in the middle of the season, with one week of practice and that he is going to play on the same level as guys who have been starting for the same team for years through multiple training camps...
You!

You're incredibly stupid.

Orton is a franchsie QB?

Replacing bad QBs with other bad QBs isn't the answer to a team's problems.

But your whole stupid take is just that.

****ing stupid.

**kysirsoze** · 10-30-2011, 04:45 PM

How dare they replace Manning. Stick with your guy, Indy!

kstater · 10-30-2011, 04:47 PM

Oakland and Indy randomly threw new QB's out there to appease the fanbase?

I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with any of those decisions.

NO NO NO NO! Campbell needs to be out there playing. His team was just getting used to him so there is no excuse to not play him even if he is on the IR! Grossman, Boller, Collins, and Orton all should have been given enough time to grow into their roles. Those teams are just trying to put fans in the seats and it makes me sick!!!!

I was wondering if he knew he can pm a mod and request a name change. Perhaps, he really does want to still start Croyle.

I wonder what the chances are of Romo getting benched! Despite the fact that he is a franchise QB, with stats in the top 10 in the league, I have no doubt that many fans and some in the Dallas organization are considering benching him for no-name, has-been, never-was John Kitna!

And all the ignorant fans will cheer if this happens!
