Why didn't John Fox have any loyalty to Rodney Peete?

[Speed]

Hey! Wait a minute! Peete was black?!!!

IMO Fox wasnt loyal to Peete becuase IMO Fox doesn't have this immence loyalty.

He just bases it off what he see's and believes he made the logical and right choice.

What evidence do we have that Fox is loyal over Fox made the wrong descion?

Whilethe question was why Peete was benched, I can easily answer the question as to why Peete gained the starting job over Weinke in 2002....

Peete was a better leader, who was instructed to not make mistakes and calm/direct/lead the younger players and team to do what it took to win....Weinke had the worst season in his back pocket and a fired coach in Seifert.

None of you remember the 2002 preseason with Weinke....I do....Weinke threw an interception in at least the first and 3rd preseason games....and I was at Cleveland for the 3rd preseason game that year when Weinke threw a pick 6 that I think was the last straw for him. It was a few days later that they surprisingly named Peete the starter.

It was a good decision for the 2002 season. Ticket sales were near blackout levels in 2002 and Peete started out 3-0...after a 1-15 year that's the biggest story in the NFL almost. Ticket sales rocketed and helped sellout the rest of the season when we needed ticket sales the most. A good decision by Fox to start Peete that season.

Wenike was Godawful that year. I remember him beating Minnesota the first game of the season and thinking.... Hey. Maybe we got something here. Then he proceeded to lose fifteen straight games. Wow

That season was the definition of disaster. At least we have the pieces in place to correct our current problems. After 1-15, it's hard to look at mediocre years as awful.

Dwill and Foster. It was clear Dwill was the better back but they refused to take Foster out.

Going with Mike Rucker when it was clear he was finished.

Sticking with Lucas when Gamble was def the best CB.

Lack of faith in Barndage when it clear he is just as good at blocking and better then King a catching the ball.

Jarrett over Moore when it was clear Moore was the better WR.

Moose over Moore when its clear he is better then Moose.

Well I could list more but you get where Im going here.

Hire seifert!

[MVP23]

Start Weinke!

Because Fox had his eye on Delhomme before the panthers, while he was with the Giants. Fox coming here most likley meant Jake. Maybe he knew Pete was done a while ago and wanted it to be proven.

because jake took him to the super bowl in his first year as a starter and had prolonged success... peete just ate sandwiches

I'm sure he ate some Holly too.

it's pretty obvious that fox is incredibly racist. We should call that local NAACP guy for north carolina and get him to come to the stadium. And while he's here we will convince him to play defensive tackle. Have you seen this man?
