The real question

Given how much better the offense looked today as compared to the last two weeks......why the heck was Gus not the starter from the beginning?

The Brad Childress doctrine was just proven today.  When he's forced to go with the more reasonable plan and does not just stubbornly stick with "his guy" - things work out for the better.

What Gus does better than Tjack:

1. Intermediate passing game - his decisions, release and accuraccy from 8-20 yds is clearly better

2. Audibles - this might be more the coaching but if the coaches tell him he cant audible then they clearly dont trust him

3. Game management - Sure, Gus takes a few chances with the ball but they are calculated.  I'd rather have a guy take a chance or two with our D behind behind him than no chances at all.......

4. Throws under pressure - see the packers final 2 minutes vs. todays bomb to Berrian

Again I ask: "How the heck did Gus not get the starting nod?" 

Answer: Chili just had to stick with his guy instead of doing the right thing and having a true QB competition.  You dont go with the young guy just cuz he's young.  See Arizona.
