I wasn’t sure about posting this because I didn’t want to kill the vibes, but I think it needs to be discussed. If Levis didn’t ball out, I think Vrabel would have continued switching between him and Malik and today we’d be talking about how absolutely stupid that was. When he said he was going to do it, I think most of us thought he was trolling because of how obviously wrong it is. He shouldn’t get let off the hook for this. I love Vrabel, but that was an absolutely terrible decision and he is lucky Levis pretty much made himself un-benchable or I think we’d be having a very different conversation today. Just had to get this off my chest because as happy as I am that Levis did well, Vrabel was ready to hamper him by killing his momentum and putting in Malik for some unknown reason and I’m still pissed about it.
I mean he literally said as much in the post game presser, this isn’t a grand revelation.
I hated it too but if you’re going to be upset about this you also have to admit the following: vrabel drafted levis and runs the staff that developed levis behind the scenes until yesterday, where the staff he runs out together a game plan that allowed him to chuck 4tds in his first start.
Nothing is ever going to be perfect, gotta live with the good and bad and that’s always easier after a w.
