Kid wins the NC his freshman year, then is the number one pick his junior year and you doubted he’s the real deal?
Pfffft..... childs play compared to a real life NFL playoff game. Especially his first ever playoff game (???) ....
1) Any decent QB can "manage" a game and lead their team to the Natty - Bama does it practically every year / although I do admit their QB's have gotten much better over the years but I point to Greg McCelroy (Spelling?) as an example. Bama just needs someone to manage the game. I could probably do that. It's not that special when you're surrounded by NFL talent - even if you're not.
2) #1 picks are busts all the time.
3) I didn't say I doubted him. I / probably like many others / wanted to "wait and see" before hailing him as the next Tom Brady. Throwing 4 picks in the 1st half of a NFL playoff game and shaking it off and leading your team back from the grave with 4 TD's and a win was a "DANG" moment for sure.... / It's no longer childs play. Whole different universe. 99/100 QB's would have folded like a cheap tent.
4) I respected TL ever since his visit to the White House when he was asked about the food / experience and he didn't take the bait. Sometimes you really do have to tip your hat to a young man, even if he plays for a team you don't like. He did everything right. Nothing left to do but respect or hate.... and I don't like hate.
