I feel franchise QB's lead the huddle. That is the common thread that strings, Montana, Young, Elway, Marino, Kelly, Manning, Brady, Favre, etc together....
JP is physically talented. One of the strongest arms in the NFL, athletic and tough. But he seems to have little leadership potential. He reminds me of Jake Plummer at best, perhaps a more pleasant Jeff George. He does not seem to be able to read a defense and as many pointed out he has reached a plateau. JP may be good but I can’t see him becoming great.
Trent is smart and has shown the ability to make quick decisions. In front of the media he is taking the heat and passes around the credit. He vows to improve. He has reasonable arm strength, and a quick release. He has character and shows he can lead. He was slow to win over Lee Evans last year so he visited him and worked out in the off season. By the end of this season we will know if progress was made or if it is on to the next but at least there is a chance he can become the guy the Bills are looking for. I think the jury is still out on him and even though pooh-pooh’ed above, the Bill Walsh assertion that TE is a solid QB is nothing to scoff at.
This quarterback controversy for me is like saying McGahee should have not been traded b/c Marshawn is not cutting it. For me the upgrade is remarkably apparent irrespective of the record.
Someday an O-line of mid 90’s caliber will arrive… I hope….
