Our D, don't get me started. AJ threw a beautiful pass, end of story.
I've said this a 100 times too, most of you experts would have cut B. Farve after his first year with the Packers, he drove Homgren crazy. Not only did he have a better OL and WR's, plus TE, he had a running game. It would also have drove you guys crazy that GB gave Atl a 1st for the 3rd string QB. But GB's GM was considered a genius. We gave a 2nd for what was argurbaly the 2nd string of Philly. Now let's review.
AJ goes from WC O to a hybird of Norv's.
Those who said Griese did well in Tampa, should understand Greise was a starter for years, ran a WCO in Denver and then ran Gruden WCO in Tampa, didn't have a big learning curve. See Griese when he had to learn Norv's O. A little different result.
AJ should have been given the majority of the reps last summer, Wanny was being loyal to Jay and this cost AJ some early season developement. It's very important to get the reps in the NFL, this is not little league.
The 2 QB's rated #1 in this draft are not Franchise QB's, there's just no competition at that spot for them. these guys weren't talked about before the end of the year, so you guys who keep screaming Franchise QB's in Rogers and Smith are way off base.
If our OL play improves, you WILL see improved play at QB. If our Running game improves, you will see IMPROVE play at QB.
AJ does have to learn a new offense, so he's behind Gus a little, but I'd rather him developing so that we may have him for another 8 years, than a stop gap with Gus and looking for a QB within 2 years.
I think AJ is the answer for the next 8-10 years. Once he's comfortable in this O, I can't wait until his instincts take over, it should be some exciting football.
