Duggan isn’t improving his accuracy / time to move on
I agree with this, accuracy is an issue - but the biggest issue is consistency. Lots of QBs show flashes of brilliance, but the big winners are
consistent.
Under Gary, there's no doubt in my mind that Max would get the nod. Patterson seemed to be big
"he's earned it" guy. I think the decision to go with Alex Delton in 2019 best exemplifies this. Gary would say he's a leader, he works the hardest - but I never thought he was the best choice for QB.
In some ways I would agree that Max
has earned it. There have been times where the put the team on his back and won games almost single handedly - Max has shown repeatedly that he'll put it all on the line to win.
A new coach isn't weighed down by that stuff, especially since Max won't be here next year. Sonny is going to put the guy out there that gives him the best chance to win games.
