Quote:Really? Spin much?


Two of those three games were mop up roles before he became a starter (and two of the other three were mop up's for Pittsburgh). His passer rating went from 73 to 82 to 89 in his first three years, and was improving in year 3 until his injury. He was never the same after his injury in 2005, but that's hardly a failure in development.


Your blanket disagreement says nothing. Don't you think Mathis improved? Mincey? Spicer? Garrard was terrible when JDR took over. One might argue that Reggie and Mattloaf were failures, but (again) it was not failure in development. They both had improved significantly before they were kicked off the team.
