Can you stand the upside-downness of Mike Chick's NC vote on Jim Mora Jr. ? I can't. It's downright insane when players start offering opinions on whether a coach should return next season. I suppose that the future of the NFL will be filled with loser QB's weighing in head on coaching decisions. That is as long as bufoons like Arthur Blank are the future team owners.
Even more ridiculous was Ron Mexico's statement that he had a great season. But no, that wasn't enough, he had to take it a step further and blame everyone else around him for his inability to become an NFL QB. Nice work, Mexico. You're one new HC away from being the next Kordell Stewart. Stewart, more and more looks like Mexico's daddy for teaching him how to weigh in on coaching, but Stew didn't have the tug with Dan Rooney so he got a coordinator fired (Ray Sherman). Then, when the new coordinator was too effective to blame, Stewie deservedly got himself exiled to the Bears, and eventually became an emergency punter in Baltimore.
For Mora's sake, I hope he gets fired. I secretly wish he ends up in Pittsburgh. Who wants to coach a team with a numbskull for an owner who has financially cemented a loser/quitter at QB? Blank can delude himself that the problem is anything but Chick. But the fact is, it gets worse from here as long as #7 is taking off after his first read is covered and pitching junk the minute he faces a decent defense. Besides, if the players are choosing the coaches, then you don't have coaches. Note to Jim, take the money and run.
Next on the "mobile" QB hit parade is Kordell V Young in TN. The scoreboard makes it look much closer, but the NE game serves notice of what TN fans can expect in the future. The secret of Young's success has been, just like Kordell's, a running game that disguises his deficiencies. So Young puts up decent stats, makes the team look competitive with his sandlot moves and gives you a close game until it matters. Sure, he had yet another electrifying TD run to make it interesting. But the Pats D clamped down and made VY or KY or whatever they call him throw the ball. The result, a game losing INT. End 0f drea, end of story.
The measure of Young's career will be made with what he does with the information from that NE game. Will he stick to the idiotic notion that QB's win games with their legs or will he defy his intuition and find a way to play QB and get the ball to his team mates? My guess, if his wonderlic score is any indication, is the former. Another "Korkie" teasing (TN) fans into thinking they can win out until they face a decent defense that forces him to play the position he hasn't learned.
Whay mystifies me more than anything though, is the goo####ance Young has cooked up to delight (himself) the fans. Does he have any idea how #### he looks with all those stupid machinations? You'd think he'd spend his spare time learning the playbook instead of preparing to follow Emmitt Smith on Dancing with the stars.
