Yeah, a young kid might not realize what having that record means and will sit for the good of the team, etc. But coaches and a veteran QB should step up and tell him we are going to get you to 1,000 yards and then sit you. It is PRETTY WEAK to get that close and not make it happen during the last game.
The Rams are not going that far in the playoffs regardless of Puka getting a game off anyway. Stupid decision not to get him 10 yards tomorrow! One day he will wish he had gotten the1,000 yard season - ask Mike Evans.
