dplunk said:Yeah lets not cut the guy any slack at all. Lets just ignore the fact that it was his first action in almost a year while playing on a different team while not fully recovered from major knee surgery which also hurt Carson Palmer until he got some time to get used to it. Yeah all of that means nothing. And we should just ignore Joey's equally poor slow start while he was fully healthy and playing behind an oline that had made moves and was playing a lot better than they were while Daunte was in there. Oh, well we can probably just ignore that and blame every single sack on Daunte though since that is what he does. He holds onto the ball so that WRs can actually run downfield and let longer routes develop. That way he can actually throw downfield and gain a lot of yardage instead of dumping every throw off and not even looking to go more than 10 yards downfield. You know what, its not even a question. Joey=starter next year. No debate whatsoever. :rolleyes2
Yea, except even Carson Palmer's worst game was better than Daunte's worst game this season. Why? Because Carson Palmer is a pocket QB who can actually pass from the pocket rather than having to scramble outside like Daunte to afford time to make his reads. And here's the thing, they got wins against some decent competition. Daunte lost to shoddy teams where the D held them to a respectable level and Daunte still couldn't capitalize. That OL may have been playing better but they still gave up a lot of pressure against the Jags and Joey still didn't do as poorly as say Eli Manning. And even now I don't think Daunte can play well enough with that improved line. Daunte holds onto the ball so that WR's can run downfield but forgets to notice that the D is gaining on him and is too slow to find an open man to dump it off to and takes a big loss. And in case you read my other entries and didn't understand them, you should notice I'm for a fair competition between the two. Neither should be given the job outright.
