Manning didn't have it all down as a rookie, and his team didn't do nearly as well then. McNair wasn't the greatest passer, George led his team until he got the mental part of the game down.QUOTE] I don't see always see a correlation between QB experience/talent and the team (re Manning) sucess or lack thereof. Dilfer won a SB remember.
I don't know if Ben can figure it out. I didn't see a lot of hope this evening that he can. He lacked the intangibles. My opinion is that he is not a QB that can carry a team. He is carried along. It may change with time. The furture will tell. He could win with the Ravens in 2001 .. sure.
McNair = yes, I dont think he is that great a QB really. He needs to prove he can not make mistakes when they count. Beating the Pats goes a long way to doing that.
"George" - are you talkng about Jeff George or George Blanda.
