Why would you start a franchise with guys who are old and haven't played in 30 years?
Maybe because they are still better than some of the QBs being trotted out as starters today........even if they havent played in 30 years....Why would you start a franchise with guys who are old and haven't played in 30 years?
Or perhaps do we want to develop a purer passer like Jimmy G as our franchise future in the post-Brady era, or are we more inclined to develop a more mobile QB like Jacoby Brissett who doesn't have the accuracy but could develop into a dual threat?In this hypothetical we can go back and forth in time in Doc Brown's DeLorean, so that both Grogan and Plunkett are current-day rookies. That means they both have the same advantages of current day training, nutrition, coaching, medicine, technology, etc.
Plunkett is the more accurate passer with greater arm strength. Grogan provides an added dimension as a threat to run the ball.
Who do you want as your quarterback: a player that is more of a pure pocket passer, along the lines of a Matt Ryan? Or is a player more similar to Russell Wilson your preference?
Grogan always has been and always will be one of my favorite players. Despite Grogan's slight edge for his toughness and leadership, I would go with Plunkett though. He is the superior pocket passer that could thrive in today's NFL as long as he had a decent offensive line and coach/front office.
I agree with the above. Grogan was tough as nails and had a cannon for an arm. in his early years he could run to. after brady he's the best patriots qb. he doesn't get the praise and credit he deserves.Grogan all day. Robbed of his rightful place as a SB winner.
Hmm, perhaps try a poll...Or perhaps do we want to develop a purer passer like Jimmy G as our franchise future in the post-Brady era, or are we more inclined to develop a more mobile QB like Jacoby Brissett who doesn't have the accuracy but could develop into a dual threat?
In my mind it all comes down to what kind of offense you can build around them.
