yes it is
What's shocking to me is how many don't realize or just don't want to admit that tanking happens. Many teams pull their starters in meaningless games. Been happening for years upon years.

Is throwing 35%, a pick, and 72 yards going into the 4th really “playing well”?

Their is no way you can make the argument that Sudfeld gave the Eagles a better chance to win. It was pretty obvious to all that philly wasn't interested in winning that game.

They didn't need the game. They didn't want the game. By losing, they improved their draft position from 9 to 6. They should be fined $1M. But, it won't happen. SMH.

All bad teams pull starters and play youngsters. You'd first have to prove that the coach believed Hurts was a better option. Since he'd been playing like crapp, that would be hard to do.

So, you're going to fine KC also, right? They started Henne. I'm thinking you haven't thought this through as to the can of worms you'd be opening.

Who knows. All I know is a backup QB threw 35% a pick and 72 yards and the league is shocked he was benched lol. He was struggling, personally I expected more out of Sudfeld than what he showed.

Since I thought Hurts gave them a better shot at winning, I thought there were brillliant to pull him. Both were backups anyway, not like anything can be proven.

Sudfeld hadn't thrown a pass in 2 seasons. You are grooming Hurtz to takeover......... yeah, made no sense.

They really like Sudfeld. Enough to keep him around for what, 4 years now? Remember, he came into the season above Hurts on the depth chart. Both came in as backups and both played like backups.
