Adams advised to keep Fisher, ditch Young

Oh wait, let me see... On that year Collins throw for 2,676 yards!

VY max on a season was 2,546 yards!

So are you sure you still want to use the "...the season where Fisher didn't need Kerry to throw the ball..." argument??

 

it's usually a coach cut after the season just ends, not a QB.

 

It's not about choosing a QB over a coach. Fisher sucked this year. He sucked last year. He's played with VY and without VY. He's sucked either way so Fisher's fate is because of Fisher's performance. It has nothing to do with VY.

You don't just cut a QB without a better replacement. It's a slim chance that we get a QB better than Young next season. Even if you hate Young, its rational to keep him around and if you feel he needs to be replaced draft a rookie QB or bring in somebody else and let them compete.

Why would you axe a solid QB with a huge upside just because he couldn't get along with the coach that your considering firing and who lost control of not only VY but other players as well.

 

Can we move on from the silly Kerry Collins talk. Since that 13-3 season he's something like 2-12 as a starter and thrown some of the worst passes I've ever seen come out of an NFL QBs hand. If I had to choose between Nick Harper and Collins I'd choose Harper. He could still tackle.

 

There is NO way we get the 2008 Kerry Collins, no possible way! UNLESS we get us a big back like LenDale or Blount. But Fisher doesn't trust these guys, so he sits them then dumps them. And as soon as C.J. was figured out, we were doomed. C.J. needs to shut up, and go into a hibernation stage so people can forget how good he is, then come back next season and earn his check. You can't be the best if everybody and their momma is keying in on you. There's hundreds of examples of this. See Javon Walker, Isaac Bruce, Brian Westbrook, etc etc etc. I could go on for hours with that. You get that one great season, and then people remember to keep an eye on you. Without a dynamic player like the 2008-2009 C.J., Kerry Collins can't get it done for us.

 

LOL, and that's your argument?

Yeah, because Kerry will lead you back from down 21-0 and a 99 yard game winning drive.

Vince is what he is... Intangibles and a high risk/high reward. Kerry is what he is... a game manager. Again, how did he carry his offense when CJ got hurt in the playoffs?

 

Oh I know you weren't. I'm just in rant mode today.

Sick of all this endless debate and wondering what's gonna happen. Just ready for a decision so we can all move on, happy or not.

FWIW I've heard/read a similar stat to the one you posted a few times. I'd assume it's true. Or at least close to it.

 

Some people amaze me. It seemed like reason finally returned to the board.
