Have not seen that this year at all. Maybe it's coaching staff induced to try to stay away from more injuries. If Santa goes down we are at QB's #'s 3 and 4 and might not have much of a passing game.

In rewatching Childers TD pass to Tears, it was supposed to be a wheel route to Wiman with a pick by Tears but that didn't happen so Wimann was covered but Tears was open starting on the 8 yard line. The pass was completed but Childers never fully gets his feet readjusted so the pass is slighty behind Tears and almost knocked down by the db. Point being it's a game of inches and Childers still probably doesn't yet have the fundamentals down pat.

Here is one thing to keep in mind, Santa could not physically perform in those conditions, he had to be pulled because he literally could not perform. Childers came in and did the job where Santa could not. Not easy to play in tropical storm force winds, but Childers was the QB that was able to do it.

What does this even mean? He could not physically perform.? Santa had 9 plays; he had had nothing open on 3 pass plays, so he took the sack or ran; exactly what everyone is asking him to do when the playis not there. He made 1 pass that was well thrown, but a poor decision; it was thrown into double coverage and the DB made an incredible athletic play. He had one play where the ball was knock from his grasp that he regained control of. Carey said Childers was coming in the 3rd series regardless. When Santa came back in we were moving the balli until he made threw the pick; at that point Carey decided to go the rest of the way with Childers. Not sure where the hell you're going with this one.

You could tell santa was not able to handle the wet ball, wind, etc. Carey saw this and yanked him instantly.

Then why would he put him back in? He said in his press conference that Childers was going in on the 3rd series no matter what. I was hoping you were done with the nonsense statements; you fell off the wagon with this one.

Carey is trying to be diplomatic so that no QB is out of the mix, he is going to rotate QBs the rest of the year, so you don't want to give the impression you have given up on anyone. Santa was put back in during garbage time.
