Quote:Nobody is expecting him to be a carbon copy of Brett Favre, but I guess you live in literal land. 

 

Not sure why you're wasting time on this, in a country dominated by fantasy football fans and the media alike expect "instant" success from these young players, especially QB's. There was a day and time where most people didn't expect QB's to really take off until year 4-5, now days if a guy isn't throwing for 4500 yards and 40 TD's by year two they label him a bust, it's ridiculous and unrealistic. How many times will we hear the proverbial "there isn't an Andrew Luck" in next years draft, such a short-sighted and ignorant way of looking at things. I've had a chance to watch Blaine Gabbert's last 3 games in San Francisco, and while it's a short sample size the guy is remarkably improved, who would've thought that a guy who was labeled as "raw" coming out of college needed to time to acclimate himself to the speed of the NFL game, pro concepts, and all of the other things that prevent young "raw" QB's from having instant success at this level. We live in a world where everyone wants instant gratification, football is merely a microcosm of that sad reality.
