Don't know if he's that stubborn or maybe that dense, or maybe he's just one of those people who is so risk aversive that he avoids change because of the uncertainty of the results ? I to wish the man was more flexible and willing to experiment. This is why I'm still almost amazed that Kubiak decided to go with that 4th down punt fake with Keo. Maybe that's a glimmer of hope that he (Kubiak) will loosen up a bit ?

Where does this idea come from that Kubaik won't change? Kubiak is conservative in gameplan but not in player usage. We start rookies every year, and high draft choices often start from day 1. We have had 1st and 2nd year players on the OL, DL, WR, DB, ST, just this year and last. Schaub was given the QB job with no real experience when Kubs could have gone with a vet. Foster won the starting RB job as and UDFA. We just kept 4 UDFAs on the roster this year, including 2 LBs kept ahead of mid round draft picks. We have 1 WR over 25 on the roster. We were the youngest team in the NFL last year and are even younger this year. We are a team that is very flexible in roster makeup and does not hesitate to let proven vets walk in favor of young/cheap potential.
