I remember when I was a kid hearing TV telling me Steve Young is ‘revolutionizing’ the game. It’s the same **** all the time. Just yesterday there was a what’s-his-face on ESPN saying it again. “The game has changed. You need a guy who can run who can blah blah blah.”Another overhyped midget who will fail in the NFL. Every year.
Which is why there's almost never any turnover in playoff teams from year to year. . . .Next week is going to be ugly. No point in tanking for a 6ft QB, there’s no viable path to respectability for the next few years. But we had a hell of a run…
I heard Lawrence was supposed to be this....how's that working out? =|Anyway, give it five years and another Brady or Peyton type pocket passer will come along and start winning and ESPN will start to cry for 15 years or just periodically say a new running quarterback is “changing the game.”

Media people LOVE this kind of quarterback for some reason. I’ll never get it. Brady’s attack-the-defense terminator-style with passes will always be the obviously most awesome to watch.

The sad part is that the Pats don't need to tank. They're bad enough to LOSE a lot of games all on their own.Next week is going to be ugly. No point in tanking for a 6ft QB, there’s no viable path to respectability for the next few years. But we had a hell of a run…
People want the Mahomes type of player nowI agree. These NFL scouts are terrible. I remember when I was a kid hearing TV telling me Steve Young is ‘revolutionizing’ the game.

This is why the team needs to drop Belichick before the draft arrives because you,I and everyone knows Bill will do his dumbass bad GM move thinking he still has Brady and trade the top pick for 15 picks in the last 3 rounds to grab the cheap scrubs that will catch the noodle arm passes from our current quarterbacksThe sad part is that the Pats don't need to tank. They're bad enough to LOSE a lot of games all on their own.
However let's say it gets to the last 2 weeks of the season and you're sitting at like 2-13. At that point you know the season is LOST. I would not be opposed to sitting everyone decent and catching the last 2 Ls to ensure the #1 overall pick.
Am I actively looking to TANK? No. But once the fat lady is warming up, there's a point where it makes sense to set up for the future of the franchise rather than try to snatch a couple of 'moral victory' wins against teams who are resting their starters because they've already cinched up their seeding for the playoffs.
Landing the #1 overall pick and having your pick of the best QB available from the college ranks becomes more important under those circumstances.
Even Steve Young, who had incredible passing skills, was beset by injuries that limited his effectiveness. He only went 16 of 16 in games played three times in his NFL career (1992-1995). And although he played until he was 38, he didn't consistently start for the 49ers until he was 31.
Now bear in mind, I am not saying running QBs CAN'T be winners. It's just that they need a specific set of circumstances to succeed.
Brees 6-0’, Wilson 5-11”, is Mahomes really 6-2”? he looks shorter on tvEvery year. Every year. A 6’0” or shorter QB hAs aLL tHe TooLs! Then they bust, but they’re ImProViNg and it’s everyone else’s fault, and then it’s onto hyping the next one.
