    Ben modeled his game after Elway and that's why he wore #7.

    Oh, of course. I get it. How could you know what I said about it 22 years ago anyway other than me telling you. :smiley1:

    I'm not frustrated with you. I'm aggravated at these evaluators that absolutely suck at their jobs. I'm sorry if you took it that I am annoyed at you somehow.

    It's just frustrating for me. All these people getting paid to make these evaluations and producing content and they don't know $hit, yet they are considered "experts" by people. Drives me crazy.

    Beck doesn't have to be Ben. He just needs to try to have good pocket awareness and be able to move his feet while keeping his eyes downfield once in a while. One of the things Darnold did so well this past post season was his ability to occasionally make a couple guys miss with just a quick move to avoid the sack and get the ball out to a weapon. He didn't light it up at all but he made key plays, and some of those plays were simply keeping his head under pressure, making a quick move in the pocket to avoid a hit, and get rid of the ball. That's all you would want Beck to do once in a while. That takes some good footwork and the poise to not panic and find a way to safely get the ball to a back or receiver to try to make something happen and avoid taking a loss or turning the ball over.

    Ben played WR until his senior year and then became QB only because the coaches son graduated. If they would have been in the same grade Ben would have never gotten to play QB.

    But remember, Ben was a wide receiver up until his senior year in high school but all those draft "experts" said he wasn't mobile and couldn't avoid the rush. :roflmao:
