Doesn't mean it's not time though.
why ? he played excellent this past year...and Isay that being someone who has wanted him gone for 2 years.
if the Old Boy can squeeze another 16 games out then so be it.
CONTINUITY...lol
Yeah, and I've been one of the FEW supporters of Backus dating back to like '06 on the old forum. For the reason you just said - continuity. heh
But he got destroyed a bunch more this year than he did last year or the year before.
How many sacks would he have given up this year had Matt not been so quick to get rid of the ball.
Jared Allen almost single handedly beat us in Minneapolis. Justin Smith killed him in the 49'ers game.
I dunno.
Backus has played 11 years in a row here. I think he's overall played pretty good. Not great, not shit - average to slightly above average.
You're probably right, he'll be the Day 1 Starter. But they need a solution who's name isn't Jason Fox. That boy looks lost out there
