Not sure where you're going with this now.
All I said was Hinton deserves some respect for going out and playing the position of NFL QB, a position he hasn't played since college, with less than a day's notice, in front of the world, against one of the best pass-rushing defenses in the league. And so forth.
i guess you don't know what it's like to have pride in yourself/your professional reputation?
Hinton wasn't even given a 1% of 1% (>0.01%) chance to be successful by Fangio and the Broncos, is my point. Hinton is a young athlete very recently signed to the practice squad, that didn't practice or play a single snap this season, thrust into the starting QB role with no prep whatsoever. He was doomed to fail on Sunday, and doomed to look bad. Really bad. he knew that, knew that he could not just get hurt, but he could be a laughingstock in the NFL world. Probably knew that if he was bad enough it could hurt his chances of remaining in the NFL.
And it could've been a lot worse than it was. But he took it on and didn't just curl up or turn himself into a Keystone Kops/Three Stooges meme.
That took some guts.
