In spite of the article, I wouldn’t say it’s impossible for a rookie QB to do well eventually. But I think it’s safe to say that no team should expect a rookie QB to be effective at all that first year. The kid is basically learning on the job, and should be expected to make mistakes (and learn from them). Any team that starts a rookie is basically treating that whole season as pre-season games. And they better have a good O-line, because the guy is still learning how to evade tackles.

That rookie QB also needs good coaching no matter when he plays. The article talk about how badly Jets QBs have fared, but I would chalk that up to the Jets’ historically poor coaching more than anything else. (As much as I loathe the Jets, I have to begrudgingly admit that Saleh is doing a good job now, and Rogers doesn’t need any coaching anyway, but their prior coaches’ ineptitude is well documented.)

Oppression and autocracy that she partially enabled by thinking she could phone in her victory. She should just go away. Nobody wants to hear from her anymore.

Well, there was no physical torture in that Congressional hearing, but that might only have been because of the cameras.

When I heard he said “hide your head in a bag” my mind immediately went to those awful photos from Abu Ghraib. Sure enough, Wikipedia has that one picture front and center on its page about the prisoner abuse:

It wouldn’t surprise me if that what this poor excuse for a human had in mind, too.

Um, ackshually, as the elected sheriff, I bet that oath he swore doesn’t have the word “citizens” in it at all, and he’s supposed to be protecting all the humans in his county, whether or not they are citizens.

He responded to an anti-democratic conspiracy with a sternly worded letter. Are we sure he’s not a closet Democrat?

I will laugh so hard if they go through all this trouble to ratfuck GA, only to see Dems take NC (or even FL) and make GA meaningless.
