Like it or not, Grbac is one of the better QBs in the NFL today. I was against anointing him as the starter and complained bitterly that he should have been benched after that disastrous San Diego game a year ago. I wailed that he would never develop into an NFL QB.
I was wrong.
Since that horrible game, Grbac has improved dramatically. He still throws into coverage more than I like, but I also must concede that he [b]had[/b] to throw into coverage since we had no ground game. Our OC was predictable and the Committee was inept and STILL he racked up record-setting yardage.
It is misguided, IMO, to claim that "Grbac just hasn't gotten the job done." Is the same criticism leveled at Dillon in Cincinatti? Why didn't he "get the job done" and single-handedly carry the Bengals to the playoffs? Manning gets tons of praise as a QB, yet the Colts were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. What a loser, huh? And how about that slacker Seau in San Deigo?
The flaw in this odd bit of logic is painfully clear.
Grbac carried the weight of the entire Offense on his shoulders and broke records doing it. Imagine that passing game with a legitimate ground attack.
Give me Grbac with a renegotiated contract, a new OC and a featured HB and I will be happy. All three of these things are quite doable.
