It's funny to look at those stats, especially since it happened to DEN.
But I feel for Hinton. That's just about the worst spot the guy could be put in. He wasn't even with the team a month ago or whatever. He wasn't even playing football. And hadn't taken a snap at QB in years. Then Fangio brings him in and tells him hours before the game that he's going to be the QB in a game against the Saints? One of the best pass-rushing teams in the league?

"Hey kid, try to learn a dozen or two plays before tomorrow, okay? Oh, and try not to get killed by Cameron Jordan (10-year pro, selected to NFL's HOF All-2010s Team, 92 sacks, 5-time Pro-Bowler, etc., ad nauseum), D. Onyemata, Malcolm Brown, Trey Hendrickson, D. Davis, etc. You say you're a WR? haven't played QB in years? No worries. Just don't throw the ball to the guys in the black unis, okay? And try to remember what all the plays are called, how the OL needs to adjust for the rush, where all your receivers are supposed to be, Who your hot routes are, which side you're supposed to hand-off on for each running play . . . you know, the basics. Shouldn't take you more than, say 3 years? But we need you to get all of that down in about 8 hours. And don't worry about embarrassing yourself and your family on TV, or maybe getting seriously injured doing shit you haven't done in ages. Good luck with that."

Doubt there's 10 WRs in the league that would be game for that nonsense. And this kid was selling insurance or whatever a few weeks ago?
Guessing close to 100% of PS WRs would tell Vickie to go eff himself. But Hinton must have a big set of balls on him.
