Quote:Because true fans don't want own qb to tank.  However, how come a backup plan is acceptable everywhere else?    

 

Ivory and Yeldon have failed? replace Fournette (not my choice)

Line fails?  replace

Te Fails? replace

Secondary fails? replace

 

 

See the pattern?  Yet our qb who averages 4 wins a season?  Irreplaceable why?    

 

 

Because finding a franchise QB is so hard to do. If you have a QB that even shows a remote possibility of succeeding, you tend to give him more slack. Everyone knows how hard it is to find a franchise QB. It could take years, because most QB's don't pan out. We've been looking for a franchise QB since Mark Brunell and the Browns have been searching far and wide, ever since their return to Cleveland. No one wants to go through that searching if they don't have to. As for other positions like RB, O-Linemen, TE and secondary, it's a lot easier to replace them than it is to find a franchise QB.............. alot! That doesn't mean they are easy to replace, they're just much easier in comparison to the QB spot. That's why QB's get more time.
