Banyon, with all due respect. Let's look at the flip side of your argument. What you are saying is that any or most QB's could or should have performed 'great' with that supporting cast in NE.

Respectfully, I disagree . E.G. You take the Chiefs of the early to mid 90's-all that supporting talent on both sides of the ball but average QBs in Deberg and Krieg. Montana was great for a time but past his prime with the Chiefs-only to show a glimpse of past brilliance on a Monday night against the Broncos). Deberg and Krieg could not get past their mediocrity and Marty for that matter.

The positive I see with MC is he not only performed well given a great supporting cast but towards the end of last season was performing 'great' IMO. Bottom line: When given the great cast MC took advantage of this great cast and actually got better as the season went along. What you worry about is when a QB stays mediocre with a great cast around him(ala Tavaris Jackson-Vikes). 3 examples(Deberg,Krieg and Jackson) and many more I'm sure if I took the time think about them.

Look how well MC played against the Vikes with at best mediocre O-line and still was able to move the ball and score. This shows you his potential greatness against a top rated D (granted 1 of the Williams boys and Allen didn't play but still you are talking the Vikes D) MC will be a top 3 QB in 2yrs and will be in the top 10 this yr IMO.;)

damn man i think i have a pretty good lfe, i watched the game with my daughters and my wife, they dont know too much about football and watching the plays let them get a feel for the game AND let ME see specific players and how they are doing their jobs. i also have many friends own my own business spent the night last night out of town with the wife and three other couples had a REAL good time. AT LEAST im not hung up on some woman that screwed me over at some point in my life like you. maybe you are the one that needs to GET A LIFE.


EDIT: and you had it wrong it wasnt just the first half, it was the whole game

We pardon the interruption of this thread for a great reason to post a pic of Erin Gray, who initiated many a young-boy fantasy for yours truly. Thanks for the memories, Erin. And the sticky sheets.

"BDBDBD"! :clap:

When will people ****ing understand the most important ingrediant of what makes a great QB is not arm strength? Jeff George had arm strength. More than Montana or Brady.
Football smarts, pocket presence, leadership, poise, toughness,determination and a decent arm means more than who can throw the ball through a wall.

Your wife and friends watched the game 7 or 8 times with you? Because that's what you said.

Oh, you should see some of the NY Press; they can't WAIT to turn this kid in to a cult of personality. I hope has a good showing tomorrow, he's gonna' need it to sustain the NY hype-machine.

Well at least he doesn't have a tough act to follow. If he has a lot of tipped passes and stupid interceptions they can call him the next Favre.

Favre was intercepted three times.

By the astro-turf.

ASTRO-TURF FTW!!!LMAO

Did you ever see the sack last year Adalius Thomas had in NY when he sacked Favre AND the running back trying to block him? He just threw both of them to the ground. Favre had a terrified look on his face. Hilarious.

LMAO That's awesome.

Sure. The Patriots had protection problems last year. Cassel frequently had to run.

I am sure the fact that Cassel can make a play when things break down factored into Pioli's decision.
