Jeff Thomas, who does the 20-20 sports minute updates on the Fan, had a one liner this morning that had me shoot my morning coffee out my nose. The Shanahan interview where he said the quarterback decision was close call but coach decided to go with the guy that has a 7-5 record....and then says he supports the decision to which Thomas quipped..."better watch out. there's a big truck backing up". He should have added how deep the load was too, but as the Bull would say....good job out of him.
Yeah...I'm sure Shanahan is real pleased playing the 27th ranked quarterback in the NFL against the top rated offense in all of football. Especially given the circumstances that he has a guy with a stronger arm, more accurate arm, and the ability to run it in in the red zone anytime he wants to in the red zone rotting away on the bench.
2 chuckles in one day...on the Fan. Fox and Bull just played the same clip on Shanahan "supporting" the coach's quartback decision and they both said that Shanahan wants Jhonny. LMAO.
Jim Donavan said Wednesday afternoon that the decision was split amongst staff. That contrasts with Pettine's claim that "all were in agreement" that Hoyer should start. One of the 2 is lying. Pettine has motivation to lie, Donavan doesn't.
