Before Homles? Roethlisberger was the last gunslinger to have much success in the modern NFL.  Even his game is more game manager. 

 

I want a quarterback that can make all the throws, accurately, and willing to push the ball downfield to take advantage of coverages. 

I really don't consider that a gunslinger.  Most gunslinger will struggle to have a completion percentage of 65%  I prefer higher than that.

My point really is that the term "game manager" is somewhat nebulous and will vary depending upon who you are talking to. 

In my mind a "gunslinger" is one who has the goods, knows he has the goods, and is not afraid to pull the trigger when the opportunity arises, and does it with success more times than not.  

I don't really think that definition is exclusive to gunslingers.

That's basically just a quarterback with confidence, and that can be true no matter what style of play you use.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      RIGHT NOW?  He has work to do.  If anyone would like to explain how any other lineman in this draft has a higher ceiling, I am all ears. I remember when we drafted Gross.  He was not ready for LT, so we played him at RT.  I recall Peppers eating him alive in practices.  I recall thinking, "We drafted a bust from Utah."   He too had a high ceiling.  First rounders get five year deals (in theory)  If years 2-5 are elite as opposed to years 1-5 being average, give me the slow rookie season.   If you are relying on rookies to take you to the promise land, you ain't going to the promise land.  I see Freeling playing a lot this year, one way or another.

      Yeah but bro how many Georgia games do you watch a year? I’m not trying to be dismissive or whatever, I’m seriously asking.  Kirby Smart Murder Ball is running it until the other team is dead then throw off play action. That stat is very misleading. also who’s the best pass rusher he went up against this season that got drafted in the first round? I guess just glancing at it would have been that kid from auburn which….ok
