Many people are creatures of habit. Once they find a formula that works for them, they stick with it until they die.
I’m one of them. I love all sorts of ice cream, but nothing beats soft-serve vanilla in a waffle cone.
When it comes to his backup quarterbacks, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is the same way — except in his case, Gardner Minshew is the soft-serve vanilla, and the Chiefs’ offense is the waffle cone.
Reid doesn’t want sprinkles or hot fudge on his backup. He wants someone dependable — a veteran who can step in when he’s needed, work within the offense, make all the throws and steady the ship.
