As a player, he is considerably more than merely viable.
It's his guaranteed $500k next year that isn't. Neither for you, nor for BC.

Just started watching this episode Zach, at 3 minutes in you're referencing the "horrid mistake" that Dinwiddie made on 3rd and 1.
No offence or shade intended here but you're way off base on this one for at least 4 reasons which come easily to mind from our standpoint:
1) We have been garbage at "__ & 1" all season. We have no short yardage player to insert. It's been brutal to the point that we just know that 2nd and 1 for us always ends up as 3rd & 2. It is the biggest blindspot in an otherwise stacked roster with an excellent O-Line... we have zero short yardage to speak of in a league where it is among the most vital things for an offence to have. This is now a 2 season problem.
2) Coming into a game with our backup QB put us in a mindset of getting points on the board no matter what. Anyway and anyhow. Can't risk coming away with zero. I expected Lirim to be kicking from midfield. That was the mindset.
3) The very likely chance of getting stuffed at the goal line gives such a momentum and confidence boost to a defence. No way were we giving you that.
4) We could make an easy kick and take Arbuckle off the field and tell him "Atta Boy Nick! You just marched down the field and put points on the board!"
 
Not so horrid if you look at it through our lens, is it?

I hate to be the one to do it but, people need to get off of demski's back. 
The kid was playing on one ankle and the fact that there was no better option than him isn't his fault.

Jeez really? Well if you don't want him we will gladly take him.

No, I'm saying that a smart play that is well executed can still be defeated or reverse by a defender who makes a ++ play on it.
I get that some guys just don't like some coaches or players for whatever reasons. Nothing wrong with that.
But surely nobody is surprised that Dinwiddie came in with a team that was well prepared and motivated and a game plan set up specifically to defeat the West champions?
He's got 4 years of HC credentials which (as far as I can tell) establish him as being of the highest quality for a HC.
Am I missing something?

I thought it was a generally accepted principle that a QB can beat a blitz by throwing to a receiver in the area where the blitz came from.
Today I learned that football teams would be successful if receivers caught every ball and QBs never got intercepted. Thanks for the wisdom there, Dave. I guess Zach should've just ate the ball and not thrown to an open man to make a play.
Your comments always seem to boil down to a game overview where the opposition doesn't get a say in the matter... 

Walters: I really want to find a way to sign Jake in the middle.
Osh, probably: But we already have one!

And here's the tough one. 
 
I'm not going to get into this now because it's late and I'm standing under the cold November rain smoking my second Monte Cristo number 2 and nursing three fingers of MacAllan... Maybe we'll get into this more as the weeks go on...
 
But Winnipeg's Trinity has a blind spot: it doesn't churn the roster. 

I think that the key part of your post jbr, and I hesitate to point this out because I got static for this 2 years ago, was that at halftime RD showed his superiority in adjustments over OSH.

I don't disagree with you Mark, because I think that is an area where we had the edge and it was pretty clear... But when Winnipeg's game plan show that they weren't even going to test it, it's just kind of a chickens*** surrender and it gave us a lot of latitude in how we played against your offence.
