The stupidest reason I've ever heard [View all]

John Harbaugh left a rookie quarterback in the game after he dropped the ball three times, threw an interception and was held without a score. He had a Super Bowl winning quarterback on his bench and didn’t use him. He later explained that he did this because the kid "is the future of the team.” Stupid. He's a rookie. If he's the future of the team, let him play in the future when he's learned how to handle the pressure.

Compare this with Nick Saban who, unlike Harbaugh, has an IQ higher than room temperature. His quarterback this year, leading them to an undefeated season and a berth in the national championship, was pulled from last years’ championship game at halftime due to poor performance.

He was quarterback of the future of the Crimson Tide, but for Nick Saban the team is more important than the individual and Tua wasn’t winning for the team. It obviously didn’t harm him, just look at his play this year, and pulling him from the game won his team the championship.

John Harbaugh placed the feelings of his quarterback as more important than giving his team an opportunity to win the Super Bowl, which is stupid. The team is stupid enough to thank him for doing it, and the media is stupid enough to applaud it.
