122 And there was a wailing in all the wilderness

No one believes that a Chinese-American quarterback can lead the San Francisco 49ers out of the slump, or even that a Chinese-American quarterback can survive the professional game.

Everyone is scrambling to show off their taunt skills, and it seems that they have made up their minds to battle it out to see who has full taunt skills.

Among them, Charles Davis is undoubtedly superior, "After missing the playoffs for eight consecutive years, fans of the San Francisco 49ers can mentally prepare for next year." ”

This is true for the entire league, even the San Francisco Chronicle, home of the San Francisco 49ers.

As the number one newspaper in the region, the San Francisco Chronicle is undeservedly the number one in terms of influence; Even on the entire West Coast, it is the second-largest newspaper after the Los Angeles Times, far ahead of its competitors in terms of sales and influence.

Brain-estbrook is a veteran senior commentator for the newspaper's sports column, and he is a well-known professional commentator even within the league.

After the San Francisco 49ers officially announced Lu Ke as the main quarterback, it seems that all eyes are locked on the identity of "Chinese", especially the promotion of the league officials, which adds fuel to the fire. Everyone turned on the mockery mode, as if not saying a few words at this moment would damage their expert status.

Even the most objective, calm, and rational professional commentator is puzzled by the choice of the San Francisco 49ers.

However, as the official royal commentator for the San Francisco 49ers' home team, Bryan can't and won't fire casually. Even if he fires, he has to be justified. Otherwise, there will be a fire in his backyard inexplicably, and the team management will definitely not be happy.

Brian conducted a detailed investigation, and even dug deep into Lu Ke's high school and even his pre-immigration life, trying to come to a relatively objective and comprehensive conclusion. The results are not optimistic.

In middle school, including junior high school and high school, Lu Ke studied at George Washington High School, which is a public high school, there is no official data on the football team, the only thing that can be confirmed is that Lu Ke did serve as the main quarterback, but the data is a mess, the number of passing yards, the number of touchdowns, the number of interceptions and other basic data are not accurate, and the deviation of various versions is very large, without any reference value.

In college, the freshmen and sophomores didn't even join the team, stayed on the team as a sparring partner in their junior year, and turned to the bench in their senior year, but missed the entire season. The only game experience was the final game against USC and the Rose Bowl against the University of Wisconsin, with the final quarter and the last two minutes of the game.

In these two games, Lu Ke's performance was amazing, with 25 pass attempts, 20 successes, and a pass success rate of 80%; Five touchdowns, no interceptions; He led the team to two consecutive victories in the face of adversity, and brought the Rose Bowl back to UCLA for the first time in 25 years.

During the rookie training camp, the physical test data was very bad, not to mention the rookie selection, and even the college average was a little worse; The quarterback's special skills test was particularly impressive, especially in the impromptu training match, showing an amazing passing touch, not to mention Vonderrick's perfect score on the test.

Draft, lost.

In the preseason, he only participated in seventeen offensive gears in four games, eleven pass attempts, six successful attempts, no touchdowns, and one interception.

That's all. For an NFL professional, for a player who is about to become a starting quarterback, such reference data is simply pitiful, and even the beggar's fortune may be a little richer.

There is too little reference data, which means that the reference value is not high, and it is impossible to accurately measure the true level of the players, let alone accurately estimate the average level of the players; And the moisture of middle school, the main force of three years of absence from college, and the physical test data that can't lie, all of this is even worse, showing everywhere-

The player's brilliant performances were just a flash of inspiration, and most of the time outside of those moments of talent he was mediocre or even terrible. Not to mention the lowest level of the profession, even the average level of the university is worrying.

All the clues, all the information, are showing that this is a disaster, and it is a disaster with no end in sight.

Finally, Brian commented in the San Francisco Chronicle's sports column:

"It was a bold choice and a reckless choice. We have no way of determining the consequences of this choice, and the only thing we can do is to cross our fingers and expect a miracle. Luckily, Alex Smith is on the verge of returning from injury, and Colin Kaepernick's concussion could be back in four weeks. ”

Even Brian himself can't believe that he's looking forward to Alex and Colin's return.

Once upon a time, they wanted to get rid of Alex so much that for the past eight seasons, almost every offseason, loyal players have pleaded with team management to give up Alex and make a new choice, eager to get rid of that baggage immediately.

Once upon a time, they were so desperate that after each of the four games of pre-season, they were even more disappointed, Colin was acting like a bottomless abyss with no end in sight, and the disaster only became more and more terrible.

But now, in the face of this unknown Chinese quarterback, Alex and Colin have instantly become heaven.

At least, Alex is the former champion, and he can still lead the team to steady progress without falling apart; At the very least, Colin has unlimited potential, all he needs is time, more time, to learn slowly, to grow slowly.

And that unknown X-factor...... Everything is unpredictable.

As the team's last place to stay, the loss of the "San Francisco Chronicle" also means that public opinion has collapsed across the board, and fans are wailing, grief-stricken, and life is worse than death.

Even the most optimistic fans are already immersed in pessimism and despair at this time, and they can't help themselves. Not because of Lu Ke's Chinese identity, but because from any point of view, the rookie quarterback can't be the leader of the team, let alone a savior.

According to a sample survey by the San Francisco Chronicle, more than 60 percent of fans have abandoned the season. The reason is simple, with Alex and Colin missing the game, they don't think Lu Ke can lead the team to victory, and after the return of the two quarterbacks who missed due to injury, the team has fallen behind the other contenders and they will not have any chance.

The remaining 40 percent of the fans are divided into two camps.

Half of them are still looking forward to supporting their team and being proud of their team, regardless of their results; And the other half felt angry, irrepressible anger - not against Lu Ke, but at the team management.

This offseason, the entire coaching team and management team underwent a major purge, and fans expressed their support and looked forward to the team bringing a new atmosphere to the playoffs for the first time in eight years. But apparently, Jim Hubble's choice disappointed them -

first signed Alex Smith, then pushed Colin Kaepernick to the main team, and then gave up Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck, two veterans, and chose Lu Ke; Finally, the tactical run-in of the four games of preseason has never been able to find the track.

Adding fuel to the fire is that the temporary backup quarterback selected by the team's management for Lu Ke is actually another undrafted rookie.

Every choice, every decision, every step is full of absurdity and weirdness, and this catastrophe with no end in sight only gradually slides into an even more terrible abyss.

"Could it be that Jim Hubble is a Zhengtai Controller? Why is the whole team young, overwhelmed, inexperienced, unable to handle the pressure? Why? In the professional arena, experience is also important! What the hell is wrong with the team? Lost your mind? ”

It is unknown whether the team's management has lost their minds; But the furious fans were losing their minds, and more than 2,000 people gathered around the Candlestick Stadium to express their bloody questions through formal channels. The signs of the protests speak for themselves:

"We want to win, not babies!"

"Give up unrealistic fantasies and return to reality. The team needs a leader, not a doll. ”

"Firing Lu Ke and replacing the quarterback, even Scott Tolsin is a more sensible choice."

"The coaching team is sober! Lu Ke is not the future of the team! ”

"A year ago, Champion Sue led the team; A year later, the undrafted rookie leads the team? What the hell is wrong with us? ”

"Don't! No! No! Please say 'no' to Lu Ke. ”

"We're not babysitters, and our season tickets aren't for raising kids!"

……

Unintentionally, the roar of denouncing Lu Ke was higher and higher; Calls for a change in the team's quarterback have been louder and louder. Things are gradually getting out of control, and the anger of the fans seems to be no longer able to stay in their chests, and they must respond and vent -

Three crazy fans came to Lu Ke's house, and first dumped the contents of two trash cans in the backyard of Lu Ke's house; Then he smashed the door of Lu Ke's house with eggs and tomatoes.

Fortunately, when the incident happened, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning were at work and were not frightened, and then the police/inspector arrived at the scene as soon as possible, completed the transcript, and conducted a follow-up investigation; Unfortunately, this has seriously violated Lu Ke's bottom line, and things have begun to become private.

But, no matter how much you toss, no matter how much you protest, no matter how angry you are, the truth is that there is not much time left for the San Francisco 49ers, and similarly, there is not much buffer left for the San Francisco 49ers, and even if the coaching team is willing to change, they have no choice.

In the midst of singing and declining, in the midst of the wind and clouds, in the midst of the wind and rain, the 2011 season began.
