I have no illusions about his capabilities. Best case, he can probably play at the level Trent Dilfer did with the Ravens when they rode their defense to a Super Bowl win. Like that team, we'll need to win with our defense.

Couldn't agree more. I'm emotionally indifferent to whoever lines up over center. I just want that person to be successful, woever they are, and agree that JC could do enough (or avoid enough mistakes) to win the Super Bowl assuming we have a dominant defense, running game and pass protection. I have serious doubts he can do much more and haven't seen anything from him to make me think he could actually "carry" the team on his back if it became necessary. But then again, we all know what happened to Dilfer after he won the Super Bowl. We've also seen guys like Brian Griese throw 19TDs against 4 INTs only to become a career back-up. There are only 10-15 QBs who are likely to be starters their entire careers. You have to be special to have that kind of job security.

Great post. Of course, if JC could turn it on like Rypien did in 91, say, that wouldn't hurt either, with this D .
