Nobody can with any reliable certainty.

I think you're a dipshit that doesn't understand context, since I am talking about Terry Bradshaw, who you suggested was essentially just a guy.

Terry Bradshaw is the most underrated QB that I've ever seen

Sure, the Steelers had outstanding talent, but the Steelers won 4 SBs because Bradshaw consistently stepped up and made plays when the Steelers needed them

It's the same thing with Joe Montana, and another underrated QB in Troy Aikman.

You don't win multiple SBs unless you have a QB who responds to pressure situations.

Agreed. I think it has been more than proven that you need a QB to succeed over an extended period of time. Until we start consistently trying to not only groom our own QB but giving that QB a real chance this team will never be doing more than living season to season not knowing how good they will be the next season.

We need to draft another one this year and let him and Stanzi compete to unseat the loser castle.

It's not his job to identify them before the fact. It is the job of the team we have rooted for our entire lives and for most of us here the team has failed miserably and not because they tried and failed, but because of their lack of trying. That is completely unacceptable and it should be to you as well. This franchise will never amount to anything more than a footnote until they do get a great QB that they have developed themselves. We will never win anything if we keep trotting out a reject like castle.

Funny thing is, Tim Tebow fits that discription. When/if he figures out the passing game in the earlier parts of the game, that dude is nails when the game is on the line.

Not suggesting anything, but just sayin'...

I still do not want tebow. He's a glitch in the system, an anomaly, one that will not last, he'll burn out quickly, fade to little league water boy in another year or two.

Those other QB's were able to make plays in the first three quarters as well so no Tebow does not fit that description after a partial season with only a couple of plays that a real QB might make.

I'm not saying I want him either. But he does fit the discription put forward by Milkman. He makes plays when his team needs them in the clutch situations.

Those other guys had some growing pains early in their careers. Terry Bradshaw for one. IIRC, Steelers fan were ready to run him out of town.

He did come through with a couple passes that could be qualified as clutch time by some, but I see some luck in that designation too and even the greats get luck sometime. But to me.... Tebow either is just really lucky or he's in some sort of shell, held back by insecurities. He doesn't seem insecure.

I also don't like his hype and attention. Fans made the bronco's leadership put in Tebow, he didn't earn it or deserve it, and that makes me hate him.

If Terry Bradshaw played the game as it is today, he'd put up Manning/Brady numbers. From the gate.

And just for the record, I think the ideal spot for Tebow would be the Buffalo Bills. Chan Gailey's offense would be almost a perfect fit for Tebow type of game.
