Jake Locker is our Manning/Roethlisberger

Jake Locker did look good the other night, but I wouldn't put him in the Hall of Fame just yet.

He does have potential though, probably more so than most of the QBs from this year's draft.

I like Jake. And, i hope he reaches all that is hoped for him. But, isn't this a classic case of "putting the cart before the horse?"

Didn't take long... couple preseason drives and Locker is already a top tier QB, eh? lol I hope you're right, friend, but only time will tell.

Good things comes to those who wait lets have some patience.

He tore the flexor tendon in his thumb. It was a legit injury (for a QB).

Here are the stats for each guy in their very first NFL games (all preseason)

1995 Steve McNair; 2 of 5 for 37 yards, 4 sacks, fumbled safety 66.25

1998 Peyton Manning; TD LOSS

2002 David Carr; 9 of 14 for 95 yards WIN 83.92

2004 Ben Roethlisberger; 8 of 13 for 84 yards TD LOSS 105.9

2004 Eli Manning; 7 of 13 for 91 yards WIN 76.1

2006 Vince Young; 4 of 11 for 56 yards, 2 sacks LOSS 53.59

2011 Jake Locker; 7 of 10 for 89 yards TD WIN 130.8

Anybody have access to David Carr's first preseason game in the film archives?

VY and IR go together perfectly.How long before Vick gets injured Vince comes in and bangs his fingers on someone's helmet and then bye bye Vince.

VY The next Mcnair!....oh didn't turn out that way. But the fans were sure of it in 2006! Oh so we ccan't count the chickens before they hatch....o...ok..

McNair was mentoring Young in 2005 similar to how Hasselbeck did Locker last year. 2006 comes and off goes the mentor, 2011 comes and here comes the mentor. The universe is ready to cooperate and win us a Super Bowl. God got confused, but better late than never.
