Truth be told, I don’t know who should start at QB, so this post is in no way meant to be a case for why Mullens to start over Dobbs or Hall. I think there are valid arguments for all three, but a portion of the fanbase seems to be excessively sour on Mullens, which is shocking to me. The guy has reliably demonstrated the ability to operate an NFL offense throughout his entire career. He has the 11th most passing yards for a player ever in their first 16 starts. That’s not to say he’s a hall of famer, or that he’ll be great, but he wouldn’t be a bad option moving forward.
The thing is, we’re all so goddam fucking sick of being just above mediocrity.
We don’t want to throw in a known mediocre option, we’d rather go with Hall and lose and see what he has than win a few games and lose first round with some very average known quantity.
