The future is unknowable and simply wishful thinking. Win now!

August 08, 2016 04:00AM
Some teams substitute a never ending "building" or "re-building" program for wins. Fisher is the master of this slight of hand where winning today is never the issue; "getting better" and holding off until tomorrow is the issue.

That's a mistake. And it is not what sports ought to be about.

The name of the game is to win; not to build some theoretical team of people who will someday (yeah, says who?) become winners.

I don't know who will be our best QB come game 1. But if Keenum is the better QB who gives us the best chance to win game 1, then start him. If Goff is the better QB who gives us the best chance to win game 1, then start him.
But some notion about starting the QB who has more "potential" over the QB who has more of an ability to "win now" is fool's gold.

GRob was supposed to have more "potential"......and where are we now? Still waiting for the potential to become actual production, which helps produce wins.

Never sacrifice a win today for a possible one tomorrow.
