Unrealistic.If you are a scout and have a 3rd string QB that isn’t an NFL capable QB you’re bad at your job

He’s supposed to suck. Every teams third string qb sucks. Hell, almost every teams second string qb sucks.
Uh, the play caller is taking shots precisely because the qb is so bad. I think the rest of the night vindicated that call. It’s the only shot we had to score.
YesIs Johnny Manziel really worse than this?
I really wasn't expecting him to wear that stupid headband. Disappointing
That was EXACTLY the time to take the shot. I mean, exactly.That's not the spot to take that chance.
And it was a play they ran earlier that didn't fool Philly then. Why would you expect them to fall for it the second time?
It was just a dumb play call.

Pretty much every team runs trick plays when they cross the 50 so let’s start there. That’s what we did.It really wasn't.
And it failed because it didn't fool the Eagles at all. Just like when Moore ran it in the first half and the Eagles immediately sniffed it out. Why did Moore suddenly think they would fall for it?
Also, note that they ran a fake reverse earlier in the game with Pollard and the Eagles actually AGAIN defended the reverse well but Pollard faked the pitch and had a good run.
A 7th round QB should not play for the first 2 seasons much less 7 games into his rookie year with no preseason, strength and conditioning and missing both all pro tackles.Bad scouting he is not an NFL caliber QB

And, the play didn’t work. Too bad for us. But the coaches were taking risks because they knew what they had a qb. Are you going to ignore all the other times they dinucci didn’t lead us to a TD?
The coaches were taking shots and I’m fine with it. They pretty much had to.
Dinucci gave us about what was expected, it was the coaching that I expected more from.
I didn’t realize I had to explain myself so carefully. OF COURSE I didn’t mean that teams run trick plays every time they cross the 50. To interpret it that way is just dumb. When teams run trick plays, it’s often after they cross the 50. That better?LOL. No, every team doesn't run a lot of trick plays when they cross the 50 because there aren't alot of trick plays like a reverse with a WR looking to throw the ball run in NFL games.
And sure, some trick plays had to be run in this game. But they had run the ball 6 straight times, averaging around 5 yards per carry and Philly couldn't stop running right at them. If that was a time for anything, it was for play action and maybe a deep in or even a post. Why in the world, would you then run a reverse with a speedy defense who shut down that play TWICE already tonight and has largely been active and quick on the edges all game?
It was a dumb play call. Moore got cute, it cost us in a big opportunity, it eventually resulted in us giving Philly the ball around midfield and that was pretty much the ball game.
Lol....yah right. Romo was a great qb. Nucci simply isn’t even close to nfl caliber. Arm is soft and the poor guy was as scared as I’ve ever seen anyone.A 7th round QB should not play for the first 2 seasons much less 7 games into his rookie year with no preseason, strength and conditioning and missing both all pro tackles.
Romo would have looked just as bad tonight in that situation. It’s why Parcells held him back as long as he did.
Judge him if he still looks that bad next August playing in the 4th quarter against the Texans. He should be 3rd string again next year and being the backup to Tribusky who could probably turn his career around learning from McCarthy as a backup.
