I don't assume that. Why are you assuming that the guy who isn't playing and who has never actually showed anything is obviously the right guy to be playing? Because he threw one good looking pass, and that's it.

That standing still part really made it look bad. Looked like a couple guys playing catch on the sidelines almost.
Yellen is doing ok. Beville had a 2-year head start on him so I’d say it’s obvious who is more talented.
Serious question, why would anyone trust this staff’s opinion? If you know the QB position, Yellen is not playing well. Yeah we might not like the announcers on TV, but listen to what they’re saying. Every other throw it’s “wow, risky throw by Yellen that’s somehow caught.” That’s what is continuously happening.
He’s lobbing throws into the middle of the field that with more touch go for even bigger gains, maybe even touchdowns.... and make for a much easier play for the receiver.
Because Yellen with more opportunity, can barely even claim to have done that.
I went back and looked at it again, and we lined up over the center and then we hit him right after the snap. And you aren't allowed to do either of those.

OK, now I get it. You'd rather we play someone who looks the part but might not get the results rather than someone who doesn't always look pretty but is actually completing passes (or at least the ones that we aren't dropping).
That's a bold choice. Most people would rather see the guy who is getting results rather than the guy who just looks the part.
U funny. Bailed out? They drop more big plays then most teams
Yellen is consistently floating passes into the middle of the field. Even the announcers just mentioned it, he’s seeing open receivers, but he’s floating balls there that need more touch. Luckily the receivers are catching some of those and the DBs aren’t making plays on them.
And this is still with only a little more than 50% completion percentage. How long do you think he can even continue to make such poor throws and get away with it? I mean if you survive a round of Russian roulette are you gonna play again because it worked the last time?
Yes, the offense has done much better with him at QB than I ever thought they could today. But he’s done absolutely nothing more than you’d expect any backup QB to and realistically probably less.
We've lined up over the snapper on a punt and extra point -- two penalties. Do we not know the special teams rules?
