essentially he felt you needed to give the guy two full seasons of starts before he showed who he was, i.e. its a steep learning curve in the NFL from college

Yes, but see time has changed, and a good QB would be good from the start (/sarcasm). Everyone thinks there QB is Luck. -- (edited) - TRuMaN Aug 31, 12:05 7
- on the other side of the 2012 draft, Tannenhill has evolved (perhaps slowly) -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:06 3
  - in a redraft he'd probably go #3 overall - ML Aug 31, 12:09 2
    - that draft also had Nick Foles in it, I think we'll see what he is made of this season as well -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:15 1
      - Leading vote-getters: turnovers, glass - ML Aug 31, 12:19
- maybe for a pocket passer, but the game is different for a runner and gunner. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 12:06 2
  - There are games when Sliced Bread (Luck) looks like he's got money on the opponents and he's the shining star. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:07 1
    - well, he has not had to deal with serious injury and a broken clubhouse. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 12:09
