Colt comes in to "finish" a blow out victory. Throws an INT. Is forever dubbed "Dolt McCoy" and becomes the fanbase's new whipping boy.
Nope. No thank you. May as well stick with Browning. He knows the system. Not saying Colt = Siemien but Trevor just sort of proved not ALL vet QBs can "pick up a system" and be effective.
Has there been word that Siemien struggled to pick up the system? Seemed to me he just sucked.
I've never understood the "stick with the terrible player who knows the system" argument.
With Browning, we're screwed. If a new vet doesn't pick up the system, we're also screwed, but (a) systems can be dumbed down and (b) isn't it at least worth a chance?
Chance at something decent >>> known suckage. Always.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
