Thanks, Gaz - it's good to see your keen and intelligent analysis, no doubt borne of your wonderful profession, here on this board too! (Yeah, I'm an engineer too [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img])

But regarding your faint hopes for Clements and Grbac - well, don't hold your breath. I'm one who believes more in the nature side of the nature/nurture argument when it comes to QB. And regardless of how well Tom Clements performed under pressure in his career (and believe me, I saw it first hand, many, many times up here in the CFL), I think there is precious little he can do to impart the same ability to EG. I think he can help him a bit with reads, technique, drills, conditioning, etc., but what goes on between the ears when 300 pounds of man mountain is bearing down on you is pretty much unteachable. Sorry, JMHO.
