I think Joe was always Joe Cool, he was doing it at ND
Brady won the SB on a gw drive his first year playing
Mahomes similar immediate success when playing, and no lead is safe
I would say yeah, they did, more or less
BP looked very special also, see BP vs Tampa
this coming from behind, is a new issue, and really perhaps a KS issue
so you're saying if he isn't winning like joe and pat right out the gate then he's not the guy…just like those other bums, peyton and drew….
Let's not read a bunch into everything, I said he's not passing the test the last 3 weeks,
I mentioned some guys as FQBs, and you asked if they had it from the jump, I think those particular guys did
that doesn't mean you can't grow into the role, we saw a lot of QBs do that, like a Steve Young, for example
I probably shouldn't admit this but I remember Montana being brought along slowly by Bill Walsh his first year. Steve DeBerg was the starter but on several occasions, Walsh used Montana to run option plays with him keeping the ball. IIRC, he scored on one such play. At one point in that first year, Steve DeBerg developed laryngitis so bad he couldn't call signals. Montana came in for a game or two, and he made rookie mistakes. Hence, a microphone was mounted in Steve's helmet and a speaker in his chest plate so teammates could hear him. In the end, despite Joe's mistakes, his clear upside was greater than DeBerg's and the rest is history.
FTR, Montana was a third round pick because he was a little too short for the prototype and he lacked a cannon arm.
Sound familiar?
