If you were watching the game yesterday with a friend that was a sports fan, but not a NFL fan, would they be able to easily identify which qb makes 23.9m and which one makes 1.9m?
Yep. And I have mixed feelings about what Kirk says after these kinds of losses (specifically ones in which he himself has made major mistakes or missed opportunities that may have changed the result). On the one hand, I like that he seems to have a short memory which I think helps him not to have 'stretches' of games where he plays poorly. I also like his belief (stated in yesterday's post-game presser) that they every game is a 'desperate situation'. The problem is, the performance doesn't match the belief. In some ways, I'd rather hear 'I screwed up' or 'this loss is on me - I didn't get it done'. We rarely hear that from him. Saying '30 points is enough' when had you not made major mistakes and/or failed to convert numerous opportunities you could have had 44 - that's just unacceptable to me. It reflects a certain non-chalance that I don't care for, and I think it's one of the reasons people question both whether Kirk can ever be an 'Aaron Rodgers' kind of QB/leader and whether or not he is really excited about being a Redskin. I'd much prefer to see a pissed off/emotional/upset QB after a disappointing loss like yesterday's than that calm, reasoned, even keel shit we always see with Kirk. Maybe none of this matters, but as a fan, I have some issues with it.
