It is simply a time-consuming task to train most NFL quarterbacks, and there are no shortcuts. Sometimes you get lucky and the rest of the team is good enough to cover up for the QB. Most of the time, you just suffer through the process, and if the guy can't handle it, you start over- and that is the way with most QB situations.<BR/><BR/>If the rest of the world was that smart, it wouldn't take an injury for Brady to step in for Bledsoe, Belichek would have seen it right away. Instead, he got lucky. Cincy suffered through a couple of bad years before Palmer was ready. Rivers got in in his second year and all he had to do was hand off, or toss the ball to LT or Gates.<BR/><BR/>To give you the analogy, you can do all the physical therapy you want, it still takes a year to recover from an ACL. It still takes 3-5 years to create an NFL QB. And when there are no receivers, it takes longer. BTW, Namath threw 5 INTs in a game twice in one early season with the pre-Super Bowl Jets.Kurmudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305468566289052178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700837482357045291.post-26914196988254642242007-09-17T18:53:00.000-05:002007-09-17T18:53:00.000-05:00Quality piece mate, and i agree, we could do with ...Quality piece mate, and i agree, we could do with helping him balance his mistakes with some positive plays in the passing game.Silvertoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622540335332031511noreply@blogger.com
