    This is one way to look at it.
    Very little patience for God’s children as I get older
    Just like you observing people today
    I tell myself people are here for our entertainment, just sit back and watch or observe like you said

    It’s not me man, you’re the one making excuses for players who perform poorly. Pickett isn’t a good QB, that’s why he was the odd man out.

    They could have put Pickett on IR like Steelers did for Howard. If they thought he gave them a better shot than a 40 year old Flacco, he’d still be there. And I don’t know where you got he was only there to be a starter. He failed to secure the starting job and the BU job. He’s not good. I suspect he will be cut when Oconnell returns and then he very well may be out of the league for the rest of this season.

    We have two debates going on about players that teams clearly do not think as highly of as you do. Maybe its time to admit they just aren’t that good.

    How has a guy been around football as a fan as long as you have and not heard, "Can't make the club in the tub?"

    They didn't want four quarterbacks. Pickett was the one with trade value, so they took it. They don't get that draft pick if they put him on IR.

    Why would I admit things that aren't true? It's amusing how you are fine with using injuries as an excuse for Warren, but you have an issue with me bringing them up with Pickett.

    Oh ffs, he was out with a hammy. Pickett isn’t some unknown quantity, hes not a rookie. They thought so little of him they sent him packing for a 5th rd pick because they didn’t feel he was better than a 40 year old QB. If they thought he provided any value to the team they would have put him on IR, maybe Flacco plays poorly and could have went with Pickett when he got off IR but they unlike you know that Pickett is not a good QB, better to get what they could for him.

    As far Warren, you’re not even comparing the same food group. Warren had a knee injury, Pickett had a hammy. Pickett was shown the door, Warren was chosen over a 1st rd pick and then given an extension.

    They throw them in too quick, you can debate about what happens next and who is to blame, but 80% of these kids aren't ready, and would benefit from 1-2 years sitting. There's still plenty of evaluation time before talking contract extension or moving off him.
