Serious question. You can’t just start Webb and if Eli gets benched does it water down his streak? Should it have any impact on strategy going forward? In all honesty it shouldn’t but if we’re being honest with ourselves it definitely will. Greatest player in franchise history you have to be careful how you let his final season(s) play out.
I think Eli's ego can handle that.
I'm betting Eli is less redneck than you are. He's a wine vintage collecting, only golf at top 100 courses, summer in Quogue white guy, so, yeah.
Anyway, they should just say fuck it and start Webb, not because Eli is garbage but because they need to know what they have before the draft as best as possible, but Mara won't allow it, even if the streak wasn't a thing.

I don't think much of Webb's chances, the probability that he works out, but there's at least a shot for him to be more than that and they need to see something from him on the off chance that they don't need to draft a QB top five. If the team operated less sentimentally, I'd say it sucks for Eli, but they obviously won't go there and he's going to keep playing unless Hart and Flowers tag team him into injury.
