Back off the rookies.

You know what? I'm pissed about the game and started to write something bitchy, but you're right.

f**k I hate this season.

I'm with ya...

The only people using the rookie excuse are fans on message boards.

Don't hear the coaches using the rookie excuse, don't hear the network guys using it in the middle of the highlight reels, don't hear the players using it, nobody's using it on the NFL network..... seems the only place I'm reading about it is here.

You don't read enough if this is really your understanding.

For fug Sake... the replies in this thread is why I don't ban Fiz and his sister SmootsDaddy when they insult you people.

Splitting hairs about which QB has been less awful this year is ignoring the larger point of the coaching staff, which is consistently putting these guys into impossible situations. Whether it be predictable playcalling that sets up 3rd-and-35 miles, or continuing to regress week-to-week instead of getting better.

I get the Hardy, Pugh and Gettis part..... but Clausen and bright spots?

He's been good, given the circumstances.

Put Peyton Manning back there with this supporting cast and see how many points he puts up. Not many.

You're right, I'm trying to use the rookie excuse for not beating the spread this week and it's not quite working. Can you help?

Better yet, do you know if it's possible to challenge a play because it's a rookie mistake? Is that grounds for a challenge?

I can't help if you are a shitty gambler. Nor can I make John Fox have a clue when it comes to challenges.

I can however try to enlighten you to what your expectations should be when you have a all rookie WR core and QB.

But Kurb, I believed in teh miracles!

[Miaoww]

Where are you from? You sexy thing.

[DaCityKats]

being a rookie doesnt account for all those mistakes today.

I feel like I am at a family reunion when I read this thread.

I wish we wouldnt of pulled Clausen, he has got to go through growing pains, and gametime experience is the only way to help. He is our future and the future is now. I hope he starts after the bye. I hope once Otah comes back our line will reestablish a good ground game to where our line gets more confident and less penalties.
