Seems like some managers don't agree with you.

And your looney toon accent makes your point even less digestible.

Just act normal.

There seems to be a consensus amongst actual managers that competition could be bad for a QBs mentality. It's a tough job.

That's fine...You're in the "I don't want a second guessed, they are weak"...doesn't mean you will be successfull...just that you are hard core and want praise for that hard core approach.

There is a saying that a narsasist can't admit guilt because it will kill his confidence.

Confidence seems to be a big deal. And nurturing it seems to be smart.

But...no one can argue with your hard, rigid approach....I just don't think it always wins out.

I like competition, but Romo was always one more hit to the back from being retired on the field.

We made the right choice going with the young kid who would be available. Now we are on the cusp of being in a similar situation. It's NFL football in my mind. No one beats father time.

Nothing about dak says he is I jury prone. Why latch on to some freak I juries.

I do t believe I this last hammy...even with photos of scars

There is nothing that says his body is at risk.

You seem to be relying on age as a factor. Maybe. But Cooper rush was not competition to dak.

If you want to say that because dak is over 30 there must be good comp...it makes sense but supposedly, according to this board. A qb's prime is between 30 and 34. Why mess with that? Maybe in 2 years do you bring in serious talent unless coaches and scouts say dak sucks. But why give him extensions?


Something doesn't add up

It’s a great question. The only time in recent history it seemed to work was maybe Rodgers and Love but as soon as he was ready they traded Rodgers. Pittsburgh tried it last season with Russ and Fields. They ended up getting rid of both of them. The Eagles had Wentz and Hurts. We know how that ended. It’s about the money. You can’t pay two quarterbacks.

It's not about comp...it's about cheap contracts.

Sad
 
I want an open competition at QB may the best man win . What has guaranteed # 4 the right to presume this is his job ?

:huh:

It was one New England player saying that he wanted to compete for Drake Mayes job. So I’m not sure how that’s not being good dude. Just like here, you just can’t make everybody happy, so why even try

I wouldn’t want a guy who didn’t want to compete for the starting position. He just needs to study and learn. He has some nice tools but need to learn to read faster and make quicker decisions. That come from studying and reps. He’s gonna get reps in pre season so he has to make the best of them. If he can just develop into a solid backup it’s a win
 
We've had "harmony" and "great men" in our locker room for years and haven't won jack, so I really don't care if the locker room Isn't cupcakes and rainbows.

This seems to be the league sentiment right now.

But posters want competition because it produces results.

Which is it?

I have asked this question before and been ghosted.

Is a QB better without second guessing himself because of competition, or is it better for results?

Who is to say a good QB can't be ruined by second guessing himself because of comp?

The only answer is "we don't want a second guesser anyway"

Well..what if your backup that ruined your starter isn't as good as the starter you ruined?

I assume I'll be ghosted.

I’ll give it a shot because I don’t want you to be ghosted.

I don’t think a fear of competition is the league sentiment today. It’s not real competition anyway as the backup isn’t going to get much run time outside of meaningless games or injury. And it’s not about a fear the starter will “second guess” himself…that’s Internet forum talk.

It’s about establishing and solidifying the most complex and critical position on the field and backing them up with someone who knows their role and can capably drive the bus if called upon.

If backup QB’s is willing to swallow their pride and pay their dues, starting opportunities may come naturally. But if/when ambitions start to influence team dynamics at the most important position and potentially create locker room issues or impact your primary QB’s influence, that’s a big problem.

If you want an idea of the potential issues that can result, watch the documentary “Favre v. Rogers”. That rivalry started as soon as Rogers arrived, caused all kinds locker room and public issues, and continued to be an issue after Favre left. In that case it worked out in the long run but it is also the exception rather than the norm.

I’m all for competition but people are naive if they think it is an open QB competition every spring for the vast majority of NFL teams. And outside of a few teams who are still searching, QB positions are written in ink for multiple years and no backup competition is going to threaten that.

Just my opinion.
