I think he could have put up Drew Brees type numbers in todays game.


I think he went for 4k yards in his second full season.


Just seeing what you guys think on this topic.

 

It's a team sport people seem to forget that, and when he went to Washington with a Hall of Fame Coach (Joe Gibbs) he wasn't as successful as when he was in Jacksonville.

On a few occasions a player / coach gets a chance to prove he is great despite talent or lack of talent surrounding him such as Peyton Manning going to Denver, or Bret Favre to Minnesota, or Joe Montana to the Chiefs, or T.O. from 49ers to Eagles to Dallas, etc

 

A great HOF player to elite multi-pro bowl player will be good on even the worse team but might not be as noticed, however a HOF player on a great team becomes a legend.

Certain HOF players (or future HOFers) like JJ Watt for example are great at even different positions, so different teams would make him shine even more (image JJ Watt in Seattle for example)?

 

I think Mark Brunell was the best Jaguars QB to date but he still wasnt HOF quality.   We all hope Bortles will surpass Mark's talent in the future but he had a very rough start last season.
