Who Can Lead This Team?

Favre won lots of games with these kind of heroics and lost more than a few. Romo's the same way, but with a lower ceiling and floor. Ditto Rex.

If by gunslinger you mean he wishes he was a Cowboy, after seeing that performance last night I'd have half a mind to agree.

I've never heard of someone getting the "gunslinger" label with absolutely no athletic ability to make a play when the pocket breaks down. Farve, Vick, Cutler, Fitzpatrick, Romo, all guys that can extend the play by throwing darts, and making plays in precarious situations. I'd be surprised if Rex has a completion rate of 10% outside the pocket on plays that aren't designed bootlegs. He's simply a remiss QB. Nothing more.

MattyK seems have a affinity for him.

So would you say you're blindly following the lead of these people even though we've seen clear indications of dysfunction, predictable playcalling, undisciplined out bursts, and questionable personnel decisions. We're not talking about the Belichick regime here. These people have made their fair share of mistakes in a short period of time. It only seem logical to critically question their choices.

Your last statement was riddled with sarcasm, condescension, and malevolence, and you can shuve it right back inside the hole from which it came.
