Do they really appreciate what they have?

 

I'm not sure.

 

I have been afforded the time to be able to watch several football games this weekend. Both on the collegiate and professional levels. And one thing was apparent, which has always been, a team cannot be consistently successful without a franchise quarterback.

 

Sure there are the outliers.  Doug Williams, Brad Johnston and Trent Dilfer. Hell, even our own Jake Delhomme. Almost any QB can get hot and lead his team to victory. Speaking of Jake, I really don't understand all the hatred he gets here. Like most who post here, for the last 2+ years of Jake's tenure, I literally expected him to throw an interception every time he dropped back to pass. But from 2003 until 2008, I literally had an expectation to win. For five years afterwords, the expectation was non-existent. So give Jake some credit. Was he an all time great? Of course not. But he is a good person and he was a hell of a leader.

 

Back from tangent.

 

Since 2008, the expectation to win has been no greater than it is now. And ain't you glad we have got a QB and team that makes it possible to believe we may win every week?

Please don't forget, we could be the Jaguars.

Sorry but what have you seen over the past four seasons that gives you an expectation to win? We haven't had a winning season since 2008. I think Rivera will be gone by the end of the season at the latest. Hopefully we can make a good hire going in to 2014 so we can start winning consistently. Then I will expect to win, but I need proof and substance first. Flame away homers.

You misread my post. I meant we haven't had a reason to expect to win SINCE 2008. Until now.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
