More than a few on this board have mentioned the always comPete mantra and how it didn't really apply to #3. I've been thinking about this the last couple of days and I think it has merit. I kind of always dismissed it because, well Russ was Russ and we had a franchise QB so any competition was probably a moot point anyway. I remember a little bit of talk about the team looking at Mahomes and Allen and I dismissed that too because again the franchise QB thing. It evidently pissed off Russ. But what if Pete really did want the always comPete thing but Russ was too thin skinned or fragile to really handle it? Those are things I never thought about in regards to him but I'm starting to think its probably a huge part of many QBs egos. Look at all the drama surrounding Rodgers when the Packers drafted Love.
I'm beginning to think these prima donna QBs are pretty fragile when it comes to their egos. "You want to potentially replace me?' Forget bringing in competition. Granted, unseating a franchise type QB isn't an easy thing, but no body is irreplaceable. Eventually they get older and lose their God given abilities. Except for Tom Brady that is. :roll: As much as I didn't want it to happen, I guess it was just time to move on.
