C'mon Clint, what support? This guy is probably the most hated athlete currently playing for a pro franchise in this city. He's never going to win over the fans here. I've already said that he could throw 6 TD's, no INT's, 400 yards, and if the reciever drops a pass at the end of that game to lose it, Grbac is going to get booed.
If his spirit was going to be broken, it would have happened a long time ago. This game certainly wasn't going to do it. He's a guy that cannot afford to make a single mistake or cannot afford his teammates to make a single mistake otherwise he is going to get vilified. I saw some good things out there. I saw a competetive fire and I saw him make precision 3rd down passes to keep drives alive but get them dropped, I saw him throw 2 TD's and have a 3rd dropped. There was no support out there. The INT was a killer, but not the only culprit. His last atrocious pass attempt came a play after a very nice pass which was droped by Alexander. A guy is not going to be on the money every time. Manning threw a bad INT at the goal line, had two others dropped, and badly overthrew a wide open reciever in his end zone, but he could afford to get away with it because his team was not playing like crap around him. This is not to try and compare the two, because Manning is obviously much better, but I've seen him have better days...
