They don't need to talk x's and o's to get an understanding of where each other stands.

Huh. No wonder I like him.
The first time I became aware of Fitz, I thought he was the Old Spice man playing football a la George Plimpton or something, knowing of his Ivy League background rather than football puppy mill school. Like a college prank gone big-time by a smart guy.
he has surprised me since then. It seems like he's for real now, hipster beard and all. But I still expect him to pull out the clipboard and make calculations to design a lighter-than-air vessel and float away...
Hmmm...wonder if he's in it for the long haul...to become a HC some day?

Rolls with it...
Some players pay a pretty high price... in the HoF and doesn't know the who's and how's, just that he's a Packer.

is insensitive
YES. As a QB should be. He doesn't run, does he? He loses points if he is a runner.

He loses more points with inaccurate throws, like the ones he tossed to the Bills that kept the Jets out of the playoffs....
What did he have, 3 in the 4th quarter?
Yup: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...rip-on-playoffs-in-seasonending-loss-to-bills
I think there's a reason he's a "journeyman" QB, and it ain't because he likes the righteous sound of 1970's Steve Perry's vocals and Niel Schon's crisp guitar.

No argument, I just wanted an excuse to talk more trash about runners.

My cousin played football for MIT
Who did they play? Girl teams or what????
Srsly, I have no clue about Ivy League football team talent but you rarely hear Harvard when the dudes are rattling off their schools on the teevee. And, like I said, the first time I heard it, and saw his mugshot, I thought it was a screenplay by whoever wrote MASH. I wondered if his backup was Bruce Campbell....
PS He did run one in in the playoffs. it must be said. And an awkward but effective dash it was. Yeah, not run, a dash, guvnor.
PPSS. I was disappointed later to learn the kid came from Arizona, not some old eccentric egghead clan from Haverhill, MA. Popped the image of northeast elite.

Here is a pic of my cousin.
He was a Husky though, so that is more like real Football.
Isn't that pic from the specific loss to that got Jon Gruden fired as it knocked the Bucs out of the playoffs, the one game where Jacarcass Russell looked like he could possibly be an NFL caliber QB?
I do believe it is....
Word....
Ronnie Lot was awesome on every football field he every played. Regardless of uni. His departure along with Haley's were the two biggest miscues the 9ers have ever had regarding defensive personnel decisions. He had at least 3 more good years in him when the 9ers let him go.

Jacarcass Russell??? HA!!! Never heard that one.
If Montana could wear a Chief uni, Jerry and Ronnie could wear the SnB. More logical of the latter two more so since the Raiduhz have a track record of squeezing more juice out of old vets. Look at Woodson. That ended nicely for him, I'd say, even if he didn't have rings he might have wanted.
Just have to accept the reality. It was truly weird to see Joe in that uni while hotshot took over here. I get all fanboy about Joe Montana.....
Here's one for you more-expert-than-I to chew on: I contend that Ronnie's style of hitting (what I always called horizontal flying meat) would most likely be illegal now. What say ye?? He was like a human harpoon on runners and receivers alike.
