He wasn't a top 10 QB before the season started.
It was September 21st I made the comment based on how he had performed so far and what I saw in him at that point. Are you still going to argue my assessment was wrong?
But I do admit, and have said as much on the old boards, that I believe he was much better than people gave credit for last year. I remember multiple people claiming we should be drafting a QB, and what we have seen in him by now is the most we will see out of him. I never claimed then (or even just before season) he was top 10 - thought never crossed my mind - but I knew enough to know last year was not a year to evaluate his progress with all the injuries. We limped into the playoffs with a backup RB in the #3 receiver slot, after all. I know I said this past winter , after the playoff game, that I would wait until this year before making such decisions. I was far from the label 'homer' in the past, but that just seemed reasonable - and even then, such a common sense approach months later has Proven right.
