And he was highly criticized for his shitty mechanics too.

No Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, Michael Vick, Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler, Colin Kaepernick, Phillip Rivers, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, or any number of other "name" QBs.

Note: Only 2 SB titles among all these: P. Mannings and Flacco.

Moral of the story....2 morals of the story: just because a QB starts out like a house afire doesn't mean that flame will stay lit.....and other QBs just smoulder at first before bursting into flames.

Case and point...guys like Steve Grogan and Gary Hogeboom didnt excel till late in the'yre careers..Id say the same for Steve Young also..
