I don't have the energy to document all the awful coaching decisions but there are enough that we can all agree that losses piling up is not merely a symptom of youth.
I get the "let's not make a change crowd" ...as far as where you are coming from. I just have completely lost confidence in this staff the last few weeks.
The "bench Kizer to let him reset" is honestly a line of bullshit to me. Plenty of QB's have had horrendous rookie years. Being horrendous as a rookie doesn't mean you will be horrendous forever. But part of taking that beating is a player receiving a vote of confidence from a franchise that HE is the GUY and will be supported through the growing pains of getting better. Then working through those growing pains and exiting that black hole as a better player, who feels like the franchise is behind him.
Wentz effectively went through this last season, where he hit a stretch where he was GOD AWFUL. Through weeks 2-13 last year, look at his accumulative stats:
Weeks 2-13 (11 Games):
2530 yards (230 PYPG), 7 TD's, 13 INT's
6 of those 11 games he was a sub 60% passer and the team went 3-8, including a 5 game losing streak.
Wentz was never benched, nor did they ever consider benching him. While he likely lost some confidence in his play, he didn't lose confidence in the franchise or coaching staff.
That's my problem with the Kizer thing......we are undermining him for no reason. Hogan doesn't have a future in the NFL and was even worse than Kizer has been. Kizer is watching on the sideline thinking....."I'm sitting in favor of this bum?". All the offensive players are saying...."Kizer is sitting in favor of this bum?".
I'm not saying Kizer is the second coming but, to me, you can only sell the "step back" line of bullshit if you have a good veteran backup QB who can steady the ship and keep you in (and win) a few games. Without that, this whole benching thing is a complete panic move and anyone selling it as anything else is buying what these guys are selling IMO.
Again, if there was even a shred of evidence Hue and staff knew what they were doing, I'd be more inclined to keep them around but he seriously looks so far in over his head. Could care less about his track record. He openly said to trust him on Kessler and Kizer, who 1 was awful and 2, he already benched after a few weeks....while the FO passed on not one but two franchise QB's. Someone's head needs to roll for that, I'm sorry. These guys get paid a shit load of money.....this isn't high school football. When you make (bad) franchise altering decisions, you get fired (both with coaching on the field and personnel decisions in the draft).
