I haven’t seen anybody talking about some of the comments Saleh made recently. Maybe I missed a thread or something, but some of the comments I thought were really eye-opening.
- He said on the Michael Kay show that the plan was for it to be a redshirt year for Zach. If Zach was never supposed to see the field, then why was he made the backup QB back in March? I definitely think either Woody or JD forced Saleh to keep playing Zach after hearing this. JD has been super stubborn with admitting that his draft picks were mistakes, so it wouldn’t surprise me. This would explain the “plead the 5th” comment.
- When talking about drafting Zach Wilson, he strongly implied that he wasn’t totally on board with the draft pick. Idk if he was trying to insinuate this out of self-preservation or if he really didn’t want to draft Zach Wilson, but idk, worth talking about IMO.
I feel like most people would agree that it seems like there’s strong cooperation between Saleh and Douglas, but maybe there’s not. Maybe they really are not on the same page.
I don’t think people realize how much money they’d be paying at QB to sign yet another guy in the offseason
Think about how much Zach and Rodgers already cost
And no one expected rodgers to be out for the season game 1. You simply cannot plan for that.
Zach was the back up because you’d be fine going to him for 2-3 if you had to. The season was lost with Rodgers whether people want to admit it or not
