Interesting take by Mort on QB change

There is no way anyone can consider the move to JC a give up. The give up move would have been to stay with MB. MB was 3-6 and the team was going nowhere, switching to JC shows the coaches still want to try to win this season.

The move to Campbell along with Portis going on IR says to me that they know they're done. If the defense wasn't so bad, it would be different. Teams that have defenses like ours (very bad) , don't turn things around, as a rule.

Well sort of. The move shows they want to win...eventually. Seems to me it's a move to get JC ready to be our starting QB of the future. Winning games with him this year is a delicious bonus.
