It's still bizarre. McAdoo had to know he was on the outs, but he told a story of wanting to 'evaluate' the other QBs going forward. For next season.

I have to believe that it was a move that says to his next employer "I did a good job in New York, but really, the QB was on the skids, etc. etc." Excuse making. That's just a guess.
