THE REAL SOUL SHAKER!
I really do not see how Saban could make the decision to use Joey over Cleo. That is blind loyalty IMO. Cleo has out played Joey in every setting.
Saban's best choice was to coach Cleo up as much as possible and let Joey back him up. Cleo opens up the playbook more and is harder to defend. He sees the entire field and makes smart decisions. The guy just keeps getting better and better.
Saban just made another really bad decision.
Hind sight is always 20/20. Its easier to say wow we should have started this guy that played good for 1 quarter this season over a guy that had a few bad games. To say that it is blind loyalty is even more rediculous due to the fact that Saban had no loyalty to JH coming into this season.
Then again, I am going to make the plain and simple point that no coach is going to keep a player on the bench that they feel could get the job done better. We are talking about this guys job here, its not just a passion like we all have its his job. No way does he let a better player sit because he just likes somebody better. To think that is ignorant.
Also don't make it seem like Cleo just tore it up. He didn't. He was nothing even comparison to Romo. Daunte will be the starter next year for the Miami Dolphins, Joey will be his backup.
All we are doing right now is trying to get some trade value for Cleo before we draft our new QB prospect in this years draft.
