SB43's big lesson: Quarterbacks are important

Just thought I'd share an article from The Sporting News paid service.

Sorry if its too long for some of you.

Some don't like Cosell; but, I'll give him this, he did pick the Cardinals to beat the Panthers and explained why.

At some point, this franchise needs a franchise QB and we will go no further until we do.

2003 was 6 years ago.

I hope when we do get a "franchise QB" that he is as immobile as possible and can put up gaudy passing stats. I want a 6'5 240 lb statue a la Drew Bledsoe that can see over the line and make his reads and will never leave the pocket where he could get hurt cuz QBs never get hurt standing in the pocket. I bet you if Pittsburgh would've had a QB that didnt try to make plays with his feet and use his athleticism and consistently put up fancy passing stats they would've won the Super Bowl. Oh wait! :D

I read that Gruden likes The Golden Calf of Bristol. Very big man, loves to run. Fox should love him.

Jake doesn't exactly leave the pocket either. He is no threat when the pocket collapses to do anything except go down or fumble.

You know the point the article was trying to make and IMHO, its makes it well.

If it from a paid service we can leave it here. Just post the link.

It sure does. My post was pure sarcasm. The thing I like most about your article is that it compares 2 different QBs with 2 different styles. Both had success last year, but the more athletic improvisational "sandlot" QB won the big game. This is in stark contrast to our "old school" philosophy that a QB can only being one thing.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
