No, but when the decision is made you have to trust the powers that be. It proved to be a dumb move, that's egg on their face, and now they'll have to move on and get ready for next week.

I'm just petrified that he is going to either : A) get seriously injured, or B) lose confidence in himself or worse, the team lose confidence in him... At his current level with his injuries or whatever is going on with him, I do not feel confident with him at QB and get very worried every time he drops back.

Justified. I share same concerns, but sometimes you gotta just believe in him again.

And if we had played Byron the whole game and he stunk it up and we still lost, who would everybody be blaming then?

On the Ratliff pick it looked like Ben didnt have the arm strength but in other passes he looked terrific.. Its a lose against a premier team. The Giants and Colts had to comeback to beat us at home. We get Heath and Woodley back next week and continue on our trek to the playoffs.

But, that is the worst part. We had both teams put away, and found a way to lose it. The Giants game I can brush off as a fluke because of the injuries, but today was sad. When you have the best defense in the league, and a top tier running game, it shouldn't be a problem to put a team away when you are ahead.
