Quote:I agree more with the second paragraph than the first.  He's overrated around here for many reasons, the foremost being we actually need a QB and the season really started out pretty hopeless.  I still figure the Sugar Bowl performance is in the mix, and I'm sticking to it.

 

This is my only message board, so I have no idea how he's viewed elsewhere. 

 

The attention we gave him here was completely overboard and comical, though.  It crossed the line into embarrassing and undignified when we hit 0-8.

 

And I am telling you as someone who frequent other message boards...the attention on him was identical here and in those other boards. I'm almost inclined to say that Teddy's fans are even more cautious here, because we got stuck with "labels" such as the one you're describing here. In those neutral forums, I didn't see any (or very few and far between) of the accusations I saw thrown around here. There are no talks of "he's overrated coz he beat Florida" or "he's overrated coz we badly need a QB" or "you want to tank for Teddy? you must not be a real fan"
