Just two examples of "One Year Wonders" from the world of NFL QB'S
Don't forget: Taysom Hill Winning record as a starter!

Absutively correct. The Dallas backup QB OTOH. Cheaper backup, prolly.

Our QB situation is FUBAR right now. Ian Book showed flashes. This kid Prudy might be the same as Book. Is there a QB somewhere bagging groceries that needs an opportunity, even if it's the Saints? Now where have I heard this story somewhere...

Maybe we should have drafted him to start with.

I found the biggest issue with Ian Book is he played scared. That was pretty obvious to me in that Miami game and it didn't improve any during his extensive pre-season action this past year. Right decision was made to release him, I don't think that can be easily corrected through coaching.

Joe Montana would have been playing scared if he had Caleb Benenoch and Calvin Throckmorton blocking for him in that Miami game. I was there. He didn't have time to make the first read. Forget about making a second read or even throwing the ball away. Our starting WR's, Easop Winston and Lil'Jordan Humphrey, along with starting TE, Nick Vannett, saw nothing but wounded ducks.

We all know it’s true

Was worth a look
We were not saved
And he got waived
