It all starts with the quarterback. Everyone else can make it as complicated as taxes and rocket science, but it's simple. Foremost, on-the-field performance: the responsibility belongs to the quarterback.

I have to agree with you on the Brees point...and what kills me was that he was available for Dannyboy to make a move for him way back when. I was one of the ppl who was screaming for the skins to go after him.
I don't get how danny boy spends so much money on other positions and hasn't really thrown much at the QB position except maybe Brad Johnson (i don't count Jeff George or Mark Brunell cuz they were in the twilight of their careers)
I think coming into this debate, i was close to neutral on JC and leaning towards letting him finish out the season as the starter and see what he can do...During the course of the debate and seeing how rabidly ppl are defending him & attackign him (with stats, intangibles, empirical data) one thing seems very apparent to me. That is, that JC seems to be a very polarizing figure. That's a pretty telling thing to me. It tells me that a house divided against itself can never stand. It tells me that, though they may not say it publicly, I'm sure plenty of ppl in the organization and the locker room are having this same debate (perhaps in their heads). To me, that's a nightmare and the worst thing to happen to a team. If they can't trust their leader on the field, then the leader needs to end that debate immediately or go.
I really want JC to do well and prove me wrong, but unfortunately I'm thinking he isnt going to end this debate by the bye week and probably not by the end of the season. I'm thinking at the end of the season it might be time for us to find ourselves a new leader.
