This is the only rational thing to do, every other choice is born out of personal feelings one way or another.

I agree with your thought, although I must say sarcasm must not be your strong suit I take it.

This is whats wrong with people these days. "Thats the only rational thing to do" lol. Its a video game. Do whatever you want. I get rid of damn near every free agent over 70 because most of them are never playing again. Has nothing to do with anything but football.

It IS political. Or rather, it’s economic. Signing him = boycotting fans. That’s the bottom line, and it’s why he was unsigned three years ago.

He was playing scared in 2015 due to a couple of games with horrid interceptions triggered by his long release, lack of anticipation, and staring down a receiver.

By 2016 he had started to turn the corner, but the team around him was garbage.



His has a remarkably low INT rate, but he also has a low completion percentage. The reason, as someone who has watched his entire career, is that he is a seer-thrower. Meaning, he needs to see it first before he throws it. Later in his career he started improving marginally, to the point that he saw enough of the field to avoid stupid passes, but he still hadn’t gotten to that point of regularly throwing with anticipation. Combined with his inconsistent accuracy, his caution caused him to have a lower incompletion rate and a lower INT percentage.

Who knows if he would have figured it out over time.

And we’ll never know. It’s been too long and when it hadn’t been too long, he was too much of a financial risk for most teams to sign.
