It’s a weird feeling when you think it’s a good thing for a rival when their starting qb gets injured.

I heard an interesting rumor this week regarding the Lance/Jimmy G situation. It was said that Shanny was already ready for Jimmy to start, and thinks it's necessary for them to win. But benching Lance for Jimmy in the first half of the season would completely destroy any confidence Lance had and pretty much admit defeat with the pick signaling he's a bust. So instead of benching him, Shannahan would ramp up the QB running calls in an "effort" to expose Lance to injury or at least increase the probability of him getting injured. That way bringing in Jimmy G would be justified and they can sit Lance under the guise of him recovering from injury. Pretty sadistic if true but who knows.
