    While there is no doubt that Fish is overly loyal to vets, look at the players on the field ... of the top 30 ... starters and nicke/dime contributors ... Young, Hall, Brown, Tulloch, Finneran, Mahelona (all rookies), Roos, Stewart, Jones, Jones, Hill (2nd year guys), Bell, Scaife, Laboy, Starks, Odom <before injury> (3rd year guys), and 4th year vets new to the team Thornton, Wade, and Hope ... 19 guys out of the 30 ... that's plenty of turnover ... so while its hard to argue that White, Lowry, Fuller all should be on the field ... I can't look at the roster and say Fish isn't using young guys.

    So are you saying that Fish and Reese we're all so wrong with keeping Mac off the field as long as they did?

    You do remember us going to the Superbowl right?

    Ya think maybe these guys DO know a little bit about their business?

    no I dont...............there are no experts on player development......the best in the NFL make about 50% failures over the time course.................for every player who looked like the benefited from time on the bench.............I can give you one who played right away..............Mac should have been on the field earlier..............problem was the staff bought the Mac bias..............and it cost him time on the field..............

    Rookie QBs are never successful.

    White should get more touches. Henry has been good, but I do not see the point in giving him the lion's share of carries, since this is a lost year. I would like him back next year, but why wear him down and keep LW on the bench? Henry remains the starter, but give him a few more breathers.

    Tulloch needs to be the starter from here on out. Not to get more experience, but because he is the best option.

    When your 1st round pick is a QB, you really cannot count on getting that much production from rookies.

    And SB 34 was more about luck during the Bills game...............I can admit that.

    Or Big Ben two years ago.

    But that kind of success from a rookie QB is very rare.
     
  10. well it happens when the chips fall their way, big ben had a running game that helped him out tremendously, but he is a good qb
