Bradshaw eating some crow

It's so true, just look at all the idiots calling for Gibbs' head halfway through last season. Some people wrote off Joe Gibbs off before even giving him a real chance. He went from hero to zero in 8 games, and based on that he was given absolutely no chance this year as these unsubstantiated rumors kept flying how he would quit if the Skins struggled again this year.

The media as a whole really has their collective heads up their asses sometimes. And it's so fun to see them proven wrong, especially when we knew what the real story was here.

Great capture from Bradshaw. The guys at FOX can talk football without letting their egos get in the way.

To your point Matty, I think it must be the salary cap. Everyone fears getting stuck with an overpriced turkey and so it has become "Perform today or hit the street." It used to be that QBs might sit on the bench for several years before assuming a starting role. Not anymore. They cost a ton of money and you can't afford to sit a hot prospect. If you crush his confidence early, you may lose a Pro Bowler before he blossoms. Even the rules for a practice squad prohibit movement up and down similar to the NHL or MLB (although they have their own issues there). We should trust the one coach who we literally worshipped 20 years ago. He's done nothing except build champions everywhere he's been.
