Both QBs were NOT prepared when they were thrown to the wolves because both QBs had ZILCH to work with and assist them. Both had very poor "coaching" preparation, coming into the league. LOTS of similarities in the two situations.

Sorry if my post came across as being crass....

I don't see any resemblance in their skill sets and way more often than not, most #1 overall picks are going to a team with Zilch to work with.

Have to agree 100% about both having poor coaching to compensate for their college weaknesses. I'm on record wanting them to draft JG and believed he had the higher ceiling. I never expected him to have a good rookie season but I never expected him to look as bad as he did even with the middle school coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball.

I never understood the argument that JG was the more pro ready quarterback like many of the draft prognosticators often mentioned.

Anyway, the Herd board crashed and all data was lost so I can't reference my thoughts/posts from back then. Oh well let's just hope JG shows out this season or McVay will have to cut bait sooner than later and the QB position starts all over again for our Rams
