After last week, I was willing to give Davis at least one more week to see if he could recover and show that he's learned from a couple of bad outings. If figured such outings were understandable for a young QB with limited playing time, still developing, etc. And KC and SF on the road are tough games for good experienced QB's. But today was the last straw, as I do think it's time to go with Hill and see what he can do. While AZ's defense isn't chopped liver, it's not in the same class as the previous two, and Davis melted down against them, when the game was on the line. Handing them 14 points the way he did, at crunch time, is unacceptable, and it's not hard to pin this loss on him.
I like Davis and think he's been a great story, but I think the league has caught up to him, and he hasn't counter-adjusted, nor does it look like he will. Moreover, it looks like he's lost confidence in himself, and that rubs off on teammates, who will lose confidence in him as well. But more importantly, if he's not able to get it done any more as he did in the earlier games, then it will negatively impact the development of other guys, like Austin and Bailey. Let's get Hill in there and develop those guys. And learn how to win some games too. I think today's game was one in which experience in the 4th quarter would have been invaluable and probably allowed us to pull it out.
It may cost us some draft positioning, but this team has to learn how to win and close games out. We can't do it if our QB is giving away games at crunch time.
