All of it, nothing but BS when Rex knew all along he was giving the job right back to his boy, right when he had his arm around Mark drying his tears.
I don't think for a second anyone here or anywhere believed that mark wasn't going to start. Mark isn't lighting it up by any stretch of the imagination, but when you have Tebow and McElroy backing him up it really is a no brainer. They in a sense were picking the best of the worst.
