I hope a clevland or someone bites and allows one of these other guys fall to us.

"Leaps and bounds ahead mentally"

Like Alex and all those gigabytes?

Favre did not even know what nickel defense was until a couple years in the pros. He was pretty dumb. He was also pretty good......

No, not like Alex.

He might be book smart, which leads to an ability to grasp concepts, but he isn't field smart.

So because favre was a success, we should draft a QB with bad decision making. Ok.

Yes exactly what I said.


Don't be obtuse.

My devil's advocate position is to point out that "mental strength" in a qb can be diverse and overrated. You could have a guy who has every player's responsibility memorized, can read defenses pre-snap, memorize verbiage of 700 plays but then..... shits down his leg at the first sign of pressure and throws all that mental edge out the window.

Decision making may be related to the mental game, but there is something to be said about trusting your teammates, believing you can make plays and having the nuts to stand in there and deal.
