We need a Ramon Flanigan type...

Postby rooster » Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:23 pm

...I thought Zach Line or Padron would have emerged yesterday as that guy given the venue, crowd, talent, lights, etc. Line is a gamer though. IMO, we need a gutsy QB that gets up for games and isn't afraid to make it go. Someone who respects everyone but fears no-one. I wish we had a Flanigan type back there.

That game hurt. Hopefully we can figure it out.

Say what you want about Padron. Don't you dare criticize Zach "Super Man Beast" Line.

He put up over a hundred in the first half. He's pretty damn good.

I was thinking the same thing last night, it'd be nice if we had a player that thrived in these type of games instead of crumbling under pressure. Line was good, but it needs to be a QB or WR that demands the ball and glory. Since our team is full of a bunch of veterans I was hoping this would be the game we'd see it, unfortunately that was not the case.

I have a tendency to do that from time to time.

Ramon never "won" anything except the stat sheets, and you know what they say about stats.....Padron will be "ok", the benching should prove to be a nice little motivational for the young man...but, if you want to bring back a QB who could win, I would take Hixson, Lance, Bobby Waters, heck, I would even pick Mike Ford before I knighted Ramon.

That's exactly what we need. Someone who can win half as many games as Padron in twice as much time who ultimately loses his starting job to an undersized qb affectionately known as Snax.
