Most all of us are disappointed. Most of us are wondering what should happen this next year with Qb. Some are looking for a change at Qb and want someone of greatness like Marino, Favre, Elway or Brees.
Here’s the funny thing. Brees couldnt even win the game before. Even the greatest QBs can’t win them all. Dont forget it was Case that gutted it out and fought to make that last play happen. Thats what great Qbs do. They dont give up and believe they can win the game. They keep believing until the final buzzer sounds.
I look at Jeff George, a player with more talent than he could handle. He had no heart. People around him knew it. Players knew it and he avoided people so they wouldnt see it. We all saw it in 98 when he walked away from that fumble instead of diving, fighting for it.
Case has the heart, the fire, and more than enough of it. Is Case a great QB? He might be, or he might be becoming one. We ended the season 14-4, way past what anyone thought we would. He is sure fun to watch.
If Case hasnt won you guys over he never will. Im not sure why. Maybe we put people into a box and we feel uncomfortable when they dont stay in the place we put them? But thats our failing, not Case’s. He came here as a failed starter, a backup. We looked at him as a failed starter, a career backup and it doesnt seem right we should have to change our minds.
No QB can make up for the entire team collapse we saw in Philly. Not Marino, Favre or Elway. The line didnt block. The D didnt defend. I dont know why. My best guess is that teams cant keep giving 110% each week. Maybe that Saints game was as far as that team was going.
We see it happen every few years where two great teams meet, beat each other to a pulp in an amazing contest only to see the victor lose the next week to a lesser team. It happens. Probably 3 of the Vikes Superbowls were exactly like that. I dont blame Tark because the Purple People Eaters suddenly werent eating people.
Because that would be kind of stupid.
