This discussion is moved from the Drew Lock thread instead of hijacking it further.
For some it's the first resort, not the last.
He's the GOAT but not the first one, it was Plummer, but time has faded this option, and perhaps the Tebow subject will eventually fade away as well, though some will probably feel bitter about it forever.
These are the popular, reality-denying subjects which have cropped up in the threads repeatedly:
When we need a QB:
1. Jake Plummer never should have been benched, bring him back. As noted, time has mostly faded this out, and it's only brought up jokingly now.
2. Tim Tebow was a "great" QB, we won because of him, he didn't get a fair deal and shouldn't have been cut in favor of Peyton Freakin' Manning! Maybe we can bring him back.
3. Kyle Sloter was "great", maybe we can get him back.
4. Chad Kelly was "great", maybe we can get him back.
5. Colin Kaepernick was "great" let's sign him.
When there's been a coaching vacancy, bring back:
1. Mike Shanahan --despite the fact that he's long retired and had many issues at the end.
2. Josh McDaniels who, according to a couple of folks, has a fantastic offensive mind and didn't get a fair deal here.
Whenever there's coaching issues we never should have let go of:
1. John Fox, who mostly rode the success brought by Peyton Manning.
2. DC Wade Phillips, considered by some to be a defensive "mastermind."
3. Vance Joseph. Some believe that he's potentially a great coach and bitterly feel that he didn't get a fair deal here and that he shouldn't have been fired.
And we should have signed:
4. Kyle Shanahan
Also, every single problem is all John Elway's fault while every good thing that's happened is to another's credit: Brian Xanders, Peyton Manning, Wade Phillips, et al.
Most of these options and ideas have been shot to pieces with logic and hard facts, repeatedly, yet still come up.
Have I missed any?
