Let's remember that the Steelers cut Len Dawson, or let's remember Kurt Warner's journey to becoming a star QB. Successful QBs don't always find said success with the team that drafted them.
QB is probably the hardest position in sports to accurately evaluate at the highest professional level. For every Peyton Manning there are probably 10 Ryan Leafs, or Andrew Lucks versus Trey Lances, etc.
Or even worse, you have situations like drafting a Todd Blackledge over a Jim Kelly or a Dan Marino.
I almost gave you a thumbs down for reminding me about Todd flipping Blackledge vs. Dan Marino, lol. [Reply]
Love and Wilson were somewhat similar prospects. Look at the disparity of where they went. The Packers were patient and taught Love how to play football between the ears with good coaches and a vet mentor. Wilson was thrown out there immediately on a shit team with bad coaches and Flacco who said it wasn’t his job to help young QB’s.
Wilson should be ecstatic that he’s out of that shithole and going to a coach who is actually good at developing QB’s [Reply]

I don't give a single fuck what Dan Orlovsky or any talking head has to say. It's as if you've never actually watched the guy play. It would be more accurate to say that they failed each other.
Again, if it's all about situation, explain why he was clearly outplayed by Mike White in the same situation.
He fucking sucks dude. Bad situation or not. [Reply]

Folks on here was calling Love a bust as recently as LAST SEASON. [Reply]

I thought Love was going to be hot garbage, but that was mainly based on the time we played the Packers and he started and he sucked ball and he hadn't ever really looked good or done anything but he was good last year. [Reply]

I think it is more of a sign, they are not going to try and move up to get one of the top 4 qb's, and will not take a qb with their first round pick. Take a qb later to develop and what is one more to the developmental mix. [Reply]

Reminds me of when KC got Brady Quinn lulz [Reply]

Not saying I think he's going to become a top-15 QB, because I really doubt that's possible based on the few games I've seen him play so far. But he could easily be significantly better than what I've seen with decent coaching and better OL play.
Complete bullshit. Mike White made him look like a joke :-) [Reply]

Better roster than Denver. You realize that right? [Reply]
