    Good lord. Let's see a rookie QB who for, other than this week, has not taken a snap in practice all season on the road and his first start. Yeah, I really expected him to light it up, LOL. Honestly I didn't expect much from him at all so this is not a shocking outcome to me. The rest of the team played like crap as did Rusty but he does not deserve all the blame that is totally unfair.

    I'm just treating him like Vince was treated. Vince went 8-4 his rookie year with a team that was at least as bad as this one. Do you think Rusty will win any games this year? I don't think so.

    I do not remember Vince sucks posts after his game with San Diego, and I do not remember the Vince hate getting this active until the end of his second season. I defended him actively up until last week.

    2 years = 1 game....I think not.

    I gave him slack already, but he showed me less than nothing today....Most of his completions he was throwing to someone else..he has NO accuracy, and his deep ball looks like a punt. VY in my opinion had good potential, I really don't see that from Rusty.

    meh, he\'s a rookie 6th round pick on a team that doesn\'t sound like they want to play. I\'m not going to get down on the guy.

    Hopefully he starts for the rest of the season and we seem some improvement.

    Vince stepped in and won rookie of the year.

    You can see Rusty does not have the "It" factor. It doesn't take long. He's not doing anything out there to give you a sign of life. And often times his mistakes seem to turn into instant momentum for the other team. That's just a bad sign.

    I do however think he should start the rest of the way. Simms has no future here. Collins has no future here. He's the only thing that could get better even it means we have a better third stringer. Which is all I ever see him being and that may be a stretch because the pile of dirt out played him today.

    With "slack" like this, I sure would hate to see what it is like to get thrown under the bus...

    VY is currently a better player, but in defense of rusty:

    It took Vince three years to learn how to pass, whereas we are ready to pass judgement after an emergency start in Rusty's rookie season.

    If he showed me anything worth while today he would have far more slack, but he didn't...Tell me what he did well, ONE thing.
