Quote:I have to laugh at this topic. Carr was not even available when the Jaguars picked Lee.

Understood, but in fairness, the question presented was would you trade...not would you rather go back and draft Mack and Carr vs. Bortles and Lee.

 

Quote:It is what it is. Carr and Bortles are even with Bortles being the more flashy player. Id take smarts and consistency over flash and burns but thats me. Bortles gunslinger style will always have ups and downs. Just like guys like Cutler,Stafford,Favre,etc. It's exciting but how much does it really win? 

 

For all of Favres(who bortles has said he emulates) accolades he has 1 ring and was personally the reason for multiple playoff losses trying to force passes in GB,Minn and NY. Brady,Montana,Aikman thats what i want at QB. Forget the constant gaudy numbers mixed with [BAD WORD REMOVED] mistakes trying to do too much. Only Bradshaw with all his INT laden seasons breaks that trend. Brady in his whole career is yet to break 14 ints in a season. Montana only had one with 16 and no other with more then 13. After Aikman's first 2 seasons with 18 he never had more then 14. 

 

Im hoping Bortles follows that kind of trend and stops with the Gunslinger Flash stuff we think is so awesome. A bit radical but history doesnt favor gunslingers.

Bradshaw breaks the trend, in part because the bulk of his career was played prior to the 1978 rules changes that saw the "one chuck rule" implemented, plus liberalized blocking rules allowing linemen to extend their arms in pass protection, to say nothing of the concussion preventing rules of today that eliminate many of the kind of hits receivers (and QBs) regularly took back in the 1970s.
