@lemmy.worldYeah, if Harris wins NC then it becomes much harder for Trump to get to 270, even if he ratfucks the vote in GA
Not every team is like that. Since 1969, there have been more Popes than Steelers Head Coaches.
He's better at some times and not others, though. He wasn't this bad at the debates.
He kept saying that Biden must be in drugs to stay awake, it makes me wonder what kind of amphetamines Trump is taking.
It's because the premiums are stupid high. The article mentioned somewhere in the neighborhood of $1m to $4m on insuring $22m of a contract.
Many of these owners are billionaires, too. They wouldn't bother insuring if it weren't for the salary cap. Being able to get that money off the cap is actually more important than getting the money back.
In spite of the article, I wouldn't say it's impossible for a rookie QB to do well eventually. But I think it's safe to say that no team should expect a rookie QB to be effective at all that first year. The kid is basically learning on the job, and should be expected to make mistakes (and learn from them). Any team that starts a rookie is basically treating that whole season as pre-season games. And they better have a good O-line, because the guy is still learning how to evade tackles.
That rookie QB also needs good coaching no matter when he plays. The article talk about how badly Jets QBs have fared, but I would chalk that up to the Jets' historically poor coaching more than anything else. (As much as I loathe the Jets, I have to begrudgingly admit that Saleh is doing a good job now, and Rogers doesn't need any coaching anyway, but their prior coaches' ineptitude is well documented.)
