I mean, our hands are tied in relation to injury. Trotting out an old injured QB because you’re worried another QB might get injured is silly. A football players best ability is his availability.
Second, if one of your worries is that we win a playoff game and the QB gets too much love in here then maybe you need to lighten up, Francis.
IF we make it to a game against Seattle, maybe Smith is healthy enough to start by then.
Either way it goes, try to enjoy the moment, if your biggest worry is how us silly fans will react, then rest assured that Rivera will not be pressured into personnel decisions just because us sillies are on here typing away like a bunch of buffoons.
