Fair point - wasn't thinking that far ahead, just remembering the Aaron Brooks roller coaster we had going on for about a 5-year span.

I remember that well. Also remember the Jeff Blake, Billy Joe's, Heath Shuler, and Jim Everett years leading up to Brooks.

Ian is the man for the job.... if the job description is holding the clipboard.

Somebody wake me up when this season is over,
unless
Sean get's a brain enema and realizes he's not going to resurrect his Brees-pocket-QB-offense with either Aaron Brooks 2.0 or Poor-choice Slim, and he starts the proper QB that earned this spot last year.

Sean needs to either activate Book in a time when our QB situation is so dire, or demote him to the practice squad. If you have this little faith in him, then you shouldn't be worried about another team putting in a waiver claim.

This blows. Play somebody else. Anybody else. We suck.

If you can’t judge a book by its cover, can we judge Book if all our receivers are always covered?

They're more likely to get open when Ian is moving and scrambling and buying them more time to do so.

I would be on board with Book, I mean what are we clinging to here.

The only thing that maybe is holding SP back is he doesn't want the Kid to get killed behind that wannabe O Line.

Exactly where my brain is - and Book knows to run. Let him run. What are we clinging on to? Next four are Dallas, NY Jets, Tampa, and Miami. We're not beating any of those teams with yesterday's effort.

We should embrace it and put the roster on the field that best reflects an attempt to win with our future. Coach took over and took a crap team to the playoffs 2 years ahead of schedule. I have faith. Lets take some lumps and find our next QB. Now is the time.

Couldn't agree more.

As much as I wanted Trevor to succeed, the offense has been dead with him at the helm.

Give Book a shot, at this point we can't lose anything else.
