It's not as if we haven't seen this before. This fanbase has seen YEARS AND YEARS of this kind of QB---the smart "game manager" that thinks that a punt or taking a sack is better than a turnover. The "great leader" type that is not a franchise QB.
All through the 90's we had a great defense paired with exactly this kind of QB (with the possible exception of a broken-down Montana). DeBerg and Steve Bono were prime examples of this kind of QB. We went 13-3 with Bono in 1995. DeBerg had a magical year where he threw 24 TD passes and 4 ints. WE HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE AND KNOW HOW IT ENDS---without a SB trophy.
To us, this seems like yet another administration giving up on getting a franchise guy the minute they walk in the door. So, yes it's partially about history, but it's also about your boy---we've seen him before and we don't see playoff appearances and a full stadium as an acceptable end goal.

cool. I know that being 4-12 and drafting in the top 10 is a much better scenario than 10-6, and at the very least, having a chance in the playoffs.
I mean we all know that only teams that go 12-4, get the first round bye make the super bowl. Thats why in the past 5 years, two number 6 seeds, won the super bowl, and this year, the 4th seed did.
You surely showed me.
