The announcers stated at the beginning of the game that they have already accomplished something that has never been done by a rookie tandem. Can't remember exactly what they said though.

uhhhhhh, I think so...

I'd say it's worth the discussion!!!
Umm..

not sure..

I saw Bart Starr and Paul Horning and Jim Taylor come in as rookies and play very well.

eventually running off back to back World Championships with Vince Lombardi.

Also saw Frank Ryan and Paul Warfield and Jim Brown as rookies and they were game changing with Paul Brown as the coach.

So give it sometime.

I don't think any of us will mistake Garrett for either of those coaches.

What I do not want to see is DAK and Zeke turning into RGIII or TO from all the adulation.

So let's stay humble and just enjoy the moment.

What we have here is something special. I hope everyone is enjoying the moment. The fact that these 2 guys keep getting better and better each week is scary.

For sure..

I even saw Otto Graham play for the Commanders at QB in Washington.

I was born there and my father was in the FBI for 30 years and had season tickeys thru the agency.

The head agents would alternate every weekend taking the families.

I was like 2 years old and vaguely remember fans singing Hail to the Commanders.

We then were transfered to Dallas and father. brought Cowboys tickets at the Cotton Bowl.

Been a fan eversince.

So my linage as a fan has its roots in the Commanders and Dad.

And the Cowboys back in 1964.

Blimey! What great lineage and memories!
