Quinton Porter Released...

Re: Quinton Porter Released...

ET who is no longer here might have had a hand in those type of decisions...I don't see the combo of EH/KR doing that now that they are no longer under his very dark shadow...I am hopeful that they will make decisions based on what wins them football games and that salary or who found which player (credit) will no longer enter into the equation of making player personnel decisions both in terms of who gets signed or in regards to in game decisions on who plays (which will prevent things like having 2 kickers running out onto the field at the same time)...I have much more faith in the current management team sans the Red Menace applying pressure on who stays and who plays...if Nichols wins out in camp then I believe he'll be our starter even if they do shell out more money and also sign a guy like Reilly to come in and compete against him...they're big boys and are able to take a little criticism from some radio jockey who might give it to them for signing a Reilly to big money and then going with Nichols instead unlike some other overly sensitive management types who shall remain nameless.

I would agree with you, except what happened after ET was let go, KR still went with Joseph over Nichols. What has changed in the last few months with NO football being played in the mean time?

I'm hoping the fact that we will be in a competitive training camp situation where they can take the time to evaluate each of the QBs rather than in a position where their decisions would have been influenced by the fact that they were trying to win games to stay in a playoff race will change all of that and result in the best quarterbacking performance getting the job. Your point however does have some validity. I guess we'll have to wait for TC to see.

That all being said however, my position is that I want them to bring in as much competition for the QB job as they can rather than hope that they bring in no one to challenge Nichols for the job because I believe that as a result they may make a biased decision based on salary or who likes who, etc...
