My theory on why Pierre is starting

[methodtoll]

Still don't understand why they just didn't just re-sign McCown who already knows this team and has some chemistry with Smith

Or for that matter Cantwell who played here as well. Makes no sense really.

Numerous more years? Not really :confused:

He's played in two NFL games his entire career, and didn't start either one. Outside of that, all he's done is bounce on and off of practice squads.

As far as stats, Tony Pike has more career completions (6) than St Pierre has attempts (5).

You don't consider seven more years of the NFL as numerous? Yes it hasnt been starting, but regradless I would have to belive he knows and is more prepared at this moment then Pike would.

It isn't just not starting. He hasn't even been on a 53 man roster for a significant part of that. The only game time he's seen has been garbage time.

His experience essentially amounts to eight years of practice, and less than a week of that being with us.

The third possibility is he is trying to do the best he knows how with the crap hand he was dealt. He didn't make the decisions and had to choose between a crappy rookie who has had no reps and a crappy veteran who has at least played 5 preseasons so while he has only thrown 5 passes in the regular season, he has infinitely more experience than Pike or edwards who have little to none.

Not trying to excuse him but seriously I guarantee if he had his way, we would have tons more veterans on this team and we wouldn't be this crappy.

We also wouldn't be nearly as well set-up for the future as we are now.

My two possibilities essentially are that it's bad blood or bad judgment. Which is worse? Debatable.
