Anyone else miss the pick-sixes from our "starting" quarterbacks?

[satire] Well of course I do! I enjoy raised blood pressure, anger and throwing things at the TV! Cheering your team on and watching them be competative week in and week out is way overrated. [/satire]

He is what he is: Doing great for a rookie with 4 starts under his belt.

Should he start the rest of the games and do very well, I still won't call him a "franchise" qb - but I will say "we don't need to draft a qb next year". The "franchise" qb thing can only come after 2 or 3 years.

All most of us are saying is "hey, the kid is doing it right now, let's let him get the rep's as the starter so we can see if it's a fluke or real".

---

What cracks me up is most everyone was saying that the style of O he played at Texas wasn't NFL friendly. That he needed a year at least and maybe two before he would ever be ready to be a starter. Too small, not enough arm, etc, etc, etc.......

Now all of a sudden people expect miracles from him with only four starts under his belt. He got thrown in due to injuries before I think he was really ready.

Yet he's adapted well and playing smart for someone most expected so little from this early in the NFL. So while he's ahead of the curve, he's still wet behind the ears.

Now all of a sudden, many want to either pick his game to pieces or anoint him. To do that with any degree of accuracy or sanity is going to take more time. Some things never cease to amaze me. And most of the time? I read those things HERE!



Good post Arch!

So you're saying Colt McCoy will be as good as Phil Simms, and be a HOFer?

---

why yes, except without the injury issues. so really, much better than Phil

Interesting. I was thinking of Joe Montana, but with like 7 Super Bowls.

Well, I think starting next year, we win 7 in a row. Then he gets bored and retires. At which point he tries baseball, and eventually becomes a HOF'er there, too.

So basically, he's a mix between Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, and God

Well, being as good as Phil simms may not work. Phil simms isn't in the HOF. He's on the ballot this year though!

..........................and is running next to dead last.



Even, "I want to go to Didney World" (Doug Williams) currently has twice as many votes as Phil.



So he would need to end up much closer to Montana to accomplish that IMO

And ANY AND ALL QB's in this league won't and haven't been effective without a running game...Been that way forever...Let's add OFFENSIVE LINE to that one to...And let's not even discuss a WR OPTION...A REAL ONE at that...

---

Think that might be why they call it a "team sport"?

And for some reason, I think Archie Manning would agree with you.

What can I say? It's a FAN site... and "fan" is short for "fanatic."

Last time I checked Merriam-Webster, the words "logic" "dispassionate" and "reason" weren't in the definition....

(hehe)

---

Can't say I totaly disagree with you there. lol

So does anything in fanatic describe such things as....knee jerk reactions.......What you can do with numbers means everything. What you can see with your eyes means nothing.......expect miracles with a third string rookie QB....

I could go on but I think you get my drift.
