I agree there is tons be upset about with both qbs and things to like about each. It’s also easy to say Nichols wouldn’t/ would have made a difference when he didn’t play these game at all. We’re talking about events that didn’t happen and pretty sure no one here can see into different timelines haha.
I think the op is just pointing out the double standard, that Nichols got a lot of unwarranted hate, while lots loved strev and thought he would be way better than Nichols.
While I agree that strev needs a different offence than Matt, having a running qb only last so long. Chris still had 12 carries and couldn’t find much room. More qbs have had success passing in this league than running.
