lawnboy1977 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I like TD and I like what he has done throughout his career as far as evaluating talent and signing free agents, good draft picks, and getting rid of some garbage, like Price and Wiley. I hate to say it but if you look at his history in this league, he has not had success evaluating QBs. From Kordell Stewart to Drew, Kent Graham's brief stint in Pittsburgh. He had Neil O'Donnell, Mike Tomzcak. There haven't been any "great" QBs that he has brought in to his teams. I only hope tat with JP Losman we have the future championship QB.

On the other hand, is there really any GM that is an ace at picking QBs? You look around the league and most teams share a similar story...teams that are able to find a great QB typically have trouble finding a replacement after he retires/departs. I can't immediately think of any team that has had back to back success at the QB position...perhaps SF w/ Montana, Young, Garcia.

Not many teams have had huge success with interchangeabke QBs. Minnesota had it for a bit in the 90s with Cunningham, Moon, Culpepper. I think Jon Gruden is pretty good with that. He had success with Rich Gannon, helped Griese this year, Chris Simms is on the up and up. The whole thing with a QB is, ur supposed to find one guy who is going to be ur leader for the next 10 years, not have guys coming in every year who replace the other guy. TD has not ever found that one guy, not yet anyway.

Wolf was the key reason the Packers traded for Brett Favre. He also drafted Ty Detmer, Mark Brunell, Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks. I think he also had Kurt Warner in camp with the Packers briefly before he got his chance in St Louis.
njsue Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 You cant put a rookie behind a bad offensive line. Up grade the line and we will be successfull.
Steven in MD Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 You cant put a rookie behind a bad offensive line. Up grade the line and we will be successfull. 190091[/snapback] We need to decide if the OL is good or not. Some say the offensive line has blocked well for Willis others say they are matadors on the pass. We need to commit to a style, and build an offensive line for that style. I do not think we have the talent evaluation skills to pick a style.

Not that Flutie was a good starting quarterback, but at least he's still a decent backup four years later. Where's RJ now?
