All I know and knew right away is that this kid has the makings of a truly great franchise QB. He has a gun for an arm, great mobility, far less prone to stupid interceptions than his predecessor...
I knew the very first game last year. His "fast progression" is nice to read about, but what the article should say is that the RECOGNITION of his skills by others than us GB zealots has rapidly increased. That is different.
I STILL have fellow bar patrons here in PA that discuss how my team fell apart last year because of the loss of Brett and our "rookie QB". Drunk bastards are in the same friggin' bar where a significant portion of the friggin' TV's have the Packer game on--- See stories of how Dfoster and his friends hijack a bar, lol---
...and they are so affixed on either Philly (when they are winning) or Pittsburgh (when they are winning) that they are blind to what is happening in the GB games....and the GD bar LOOPS EVERY GAME (illegally--I suspect---dvr's) and run them all friggin' week...
Edit--Going off on a tangent here--Uncle George (owner--has several bars--nephew runs this one--but I'm captain of the pool team that uncle George sponsors and plays on--it's a tavern league...tavern vs. tavern--we "represent"--he's a pool zealot) and I talked last year. I told him about a "Damon's" in Springfield, Va that has TV's in the restrooms... He installed two flatscreens over the urinals last month. We love Uncle George here in PA LOL
