I don't know if Blake is ever going to be that ultra-intuitive, field tactician that can break down any Defense a la Peyton Manning and the more recent Philip Rivers, but that's okay. Very few players get to that point. I don't mean that as a limitation to him, but that it just doesn't seem like his style. I think he's going to be a Brett Favre / Russell Wilson type that thrives on improvisation and making the best out of bad circumstances, and I'm really okay with that.

He seems to understand what kind of moxie it takes to play QB at the NFL level and there are several indications that he takes his preparation and study seriously. Those are big, big reasons for optimism as well as his youth both in terms of years of age and games played.

He has a lot of growth to get to and there are many pieces of his game that need polish, but he does seem to be on his way. Regardless, I'm glad he's our QB instead of having to go up against him on Sundays.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I've said it over and over, if BB5 gives us half the career Favre had I'd be ecstatic.

Amen and amen.
