Welcome to the darkest timeline. We know that gunslingin' QBs are a double-edged sword, but this was an abomination. Halger was already having a pretty rough year, and he hit rock bottom midseason with a putrid 3-interception, 1-fumble, 39%-completion percentage stinker on Monday night against the rival Generals. The Bulls got waxed, 37-10.
To be fair, Halger was getting thrown around all game long. If Baltimore had a nickel for every incredulous look he gave the officials as he peeled himself off the turf, they could sign themselves another premier offensive lineman.

But Halger snapped. Something went haywire upstairs, and he flipped the switch into full-fledged f*ck-it & chuck-it mode. Veteran QBs shouldn't do that. I mean, what the hell were half of these throws? Did Halger owe Boston CB Jevon Wheatley a favor or something? This guy was launching ducks left right and center - Baltimore didn't have a hope in Hell of winning this game.
What's funny is that this was his first throw of the night. This laser to convert on third down had us tricked into thinking we might get vintage Halger. Ha.
