No question.......never seen that before in 35+ years of following football on all levels and what's even crazier is they say he didn't see anything wrong with it. Never admit something like that as a QB. Fake a minor injury or something but tap out coz you tired? It's going to take a while before his teammates trust him again.
He actually came out of the game because he was tired.
Absolutely. He was very benchable. I just found it comical as to why he was out of the game. Have you ever heard of a QB say that? I guess when you get a 34M dollar contract before your first snap, it opens up a lot of options.
May be funny but it's also true. They're in the mix.
In the mix for what? They won’t win a playoff game, much less, the Super Bowl. Sacrificing the development of your first round pick to put in Flacco to maybe back into the playoffs is a fool’s errand.
IF that is the reason. OR it might be they do not want to destroy his confidence and get him beaten down. HE was playing badly. But then that is on the team for putting a player in who obviously was not ready. THAT was the mistake. This stupidity that a first rd QB has to start right away is just moronic. IF he is not ready do not start him. Just plain dumb.
They can win their division title.
Tapping out is inexcusable for a QB.
HE might already be broken. I guess he would not have lasted anyway but the Team is the one that put him in a situation he clearly should not have been in.
Not sure how it's the team's fault to start him. They didn't know he'd tap out. Maybe they shouldn't have drafted him. That's where their fault lies. Dude has no heart and isn't smart. They'd be wise to cut their losses early.
