Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 3958362, member: 225"] Preseason, everyone was saying that the QB room was the deepest in memory. Well, deep as in what? Styrofoam packing pellets? The truth is that we have seen little to no depth at all so far, just guys with numbers on their backs. Tommy has had the same shortcomings for his entire career. It has been said by some that he picked the wrong school and should have gone someplace where he was surrounded by great players. OK, for starters there isn't a QB alive that wouldn't benefit by being surrounded by great players. Those places exist but they already have better QB's than Devito. Tommy is a role player. He needs those around him to be really good in order for him to be really good. He is not going to carry the team on his back, he is not going to be a magician with the ball. And certainly role players can be fine; we won 10 games with RJ Anderson at the helm because we had a defense full of guys named Dwight Freeney and RJ was very efficient when given the ball in the opponent's side of the field. Tommy doesn't seem to be that kind of role player. This team is reminiscent of that Freeney/RJ 10-win season in terms of the defense. It is less-so in terms of the offense, or at least the offense's capability to hold up their end of the bargain. I don't know what the answer is. In a perfect world Dino would be developing the next generation at QB. This is not a perfect world because his hope of being here next year is dwindling faster than the home attendance for this year will be. He said that separation had been happening between the top QB's and everyone else. Then there was separation between the top 2. And this is what we have to show for it? This is the "deep QB room?" Perhaps the "room" is really a broom closet and it only appears full because everyone is stuffed into it and taking up space. [/QUOTE]
