Why Do People Still Hold Out Hope For DA?

I love DA because he has such big..... feet.

LOL, I'm starting to think that's the reason for the infatuation with DA!

Big feet = Big meat....Is this true? DA lovers want to know!

My first thought was wtf is this guy talking about. Who in the hell holds hope for DA? Then I read a couple of posts where people backed him... Wtf, seriuosly? The only way you guys are still pimping him is to mess with others on here. No way do you actually think he's good. No F-ing way.

DA sucks as well as the "now I'm done guy." Get the hell over it and let's get a real QB. Bunch of douches.

Part of the problem with trying to evaluate the QBs is that the rest of the team has been so bad, the average fan can't tell where the fault lies for the poor performances. I'd venture to say that the rest of the team has been so bad that the coaches have been having a difficult time making the same judgement.

you further my point alendor....

DA, who played poorly with a 42 rating on the year, was beaten by quinn, who posted a 67 on the year.

i remember DA getting ripped in '07 because his rating was below 80....if a 67 is "solidly" beating 42, then i just found another opinion worth ignoring.

slightly better than absolutely terrible is still xxxxing terrible. but not in this case cause some people like the way his ass looks in tights.

I have no trouble seeing that DA sucks. He sucked bad this year, he sucked bad last year and even in 07 he sucked but put up some numbers thanks to the oline, Winslow, JJ and Edwards.

If you can't complete dump offs in the NFL, you probably suck.

He sucks.

Queen? Jury is still out but I'm leaning toward suck. DA is proven commodity suck.

Either way, I have a feeling we may see a big name QB in here next year like a McNabb.

Its not a gay thing so much as we currently have 2 guys to pick from. Both bad but one has the potential to make plays with his arm and the other has the potential to hand off effectively and charm the pants off of the love struck local sports writers. And until they bring in a consistently effective QB, these are our options. And if you ask me, neither one is all that handsome.

I'm not in love with either of them, I think they both suck. Both of them have been coached up for three years the improvement by now should be obvious.

DA sometimes makes intermediate throws that make you say "There are only a few QBs in this league who can make that throw". Then he will make plays that make you say "Only a few QBs in the NFL cannot complete that short pass". As least with DA I can see the physical potential for sucess but when brady throws the ball more than ten yards it is seldom pretty and would be worse with bad weather. Add in a couple of years where brady ended the season on IR and the answer to me is NONE OF THE ABOVE

its funny, your complain that someone is being extremely biased, when you yourself are doing exactly that, and putting words in people's mouth just to hear what you wanna hear.

i never said BQ wasn't terrible, i never said he was good. I went out of my way to say that he sucked. regardless of how bad he SUCKED, he solidy outperformed DA. he did better to an extent that you can't blame it on 1 or 2 games, or a certain situation. theres no gray area, BQ while SUCKING, still did better than DA.

now if you wanna close your eye, plug your ears and keep repeating to yourself "i'm not listening, i'm not listening," go right ahead, but facts are facts. BQ sucked hard, and was in his first year as a starter, and still outperformed DA. that is how bad DA sucks. If DA had started a few more games he would have qualified for being the WORST PASSER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL.

Doesn't matter if DA can "make plays" he's no more accurate than Quinn, he still can't read a defense, or throw a touch pass. BTW, DA can't throw an accurate swing pass 1\2 the time with zero pressure on him either- so drop the subject "we're keeping DA". At least Quinn has learned to throw the ball away if his guy is covered.

PS I checked out Manning, Brees, and Warner tonight- DA isn't even bench warmer material. Quinn might not be either, but he's better than DA.
