With QBs you either have it or you don't

Brees had a major shoulder injury and already was thought of as too small and they were simply afraid of how hes recover..got what they could for him and both teams ended up in the positive..Brees ended u with a better coach and surrounding cast, Rivers is great its not like they made a mistake..win win

Elis well ill eave that alone but..LOL

I’m talking about pre-Rivers Brees. Go look up his stats in his first 2 years, he was widely considered a Tim Couch-Esque bust.

I'd Start Rush in a heartbeat over Dak!
First and foremost he has better ACCURACY don't know if you've heard but it's needed when you're playing QB.
He also has better awr in the pocket and presence.
Put Rush in with the first team and baby the passing game in general will improve.
Now don't misunderstand me Rush by no means is a verified NFL starting QB but compared to Lemon Dak the improvement in our passing game would be guaranteed!

Apparently Johnnie Walker isn't kept in business just by Jerry Jones.

Drew Brees was replaced in SD not 3 years after they drafted him 32nd overall.

Eli Manning resembled a trash compactor his first year, a heck of a lot more than he does now.

Anyone remember Jared Goff’s rookie year? Troy Aikman’s? Brett Favre’s? Even Wentz didn’t set the world on fire before being runner up for MVP the very next year.

There are dozens more. I would counter argue and QB is the hardest position in team sports, and a learning curve is fully expected. The guys who come out of the gate running are the exceptions, not the rule.

Romo sat for years and even after he finally became the starter, he stumbled a bit at first.

If by a bit you mean the thirty minutes in that Sunday night Giants game that Bledsoe git benched in then yes, after that was off to the races.

He was talking about the years before that. Romo spent a couple of years as a 3rd string QB, and his first couple of preseasons he looked pretty rough.

He literally said, “even after he finally became the starter, he stumbled a bit at first”.

While this is mostly true, it's only the eye test that you can use to discern "it". Rook QB's often play bad, but you can watch for certain things that indicate a QB has "it".
