You didn't hurt my feelings, it's just inaccurate to call Zolak a fanboy. I don't know how to answer your question because there are people in the sports industry who did not play for a pro sports team. Fans like Zo. You might not but in general fans do. He's a popular media member now. Perhaps that is what hurts your feelings.
Sarcasm, dude. Try reading my subsequent posts. JFC.
They should not automatically be 3-2. That's not how it works when you are a bad team. Cincinnati "should" have beaten KC and Baltimore. They didn't. And if we really wanna play this game if the Bengals played the Patriots again they would beat us by 14+. You are what you are.
They could be 3-2 with or without Maye. The NFL has a lot of bad teams. With that said there issues are far deeper than QB though. They have issues all across this team, what's the best case scenario with Maye? They look mediocre and win an extra game or two? What's the worst case? Dude gets pounded behind a bad offensive line and gets let down by receivers that can't get open and catch the ball and turns into head case like Sam Darnold that bounces around the league for years. Not worth the risk reward but I'm sure he'll get in there at some point this season, just not worth rushing it and crowbaring him in.
I tried to listen to him years ago trying to talk about other sports in town, he's a dope.
