I don't understand how you guys don't understand this. As fans, we can want them to lose--I certainly do--but I don't want my $25 million QB and $8 million coach trying to do so. You can't expect ultra competitive professionals--who have been champions--to phone it in. Ever. The games are not meaningless. If they're flipping a coin and kicking it off in weeks 1-17, it fricking means something. Maybe not to us--again, I hope we lose--but to all those players and coaches in that building it does. And it fricking should.

I get that point, but consider this: by starting Grayson the next two games could provide invaluable experience towards the future. Would you rather him cut his teeth in meaningless games or in a season where the playoffs are still a possibility? And if we lose, we not only move up in draft position, but we also ensure an easier schedule next year. This year is a lost cause, let the kid play without consequences and see what we have.
