Darrell Bevell and Brian Schottenheimer have been around and coached some very good QBs throughout their careers. Do you really think it took them a month of splitting reps between Minshew and Lawrence before they finally realized Lawrence is far superior? Wouldn't they speak up about it? Something along the lines of, splitting reps is pointless because we all know Lawrence is the guy and he should be getting the full reps? Did they not speak up, or did Urbs just not care because it's his show and he's going to do whatever he wants regardless?

I agree with you on our stubborn coach. I have plenty of doubts too, but I just find it odd that starting Wingard is this triggering for folks. If he starts and sucks out loud, it just means we'll see others, including Cisco get their opportunity to take his place.

I'm afraid he might not be replaced if (when) he hurts us.  The issue is that after watching all of the game film from last year and seeing him in person this preseason, Urban still thinks Wingard is a better option than Cisco, so when Wingard plays like he normally does (taking bad angles, committing bad penalties, getting beat by every WR/RB that runs a pattern etc.)  - Urban isn't going to think he needs to be replaced because that's what he's seen on tape and in person - and that's who he has starting.....
