Rich Gannon's stats:
So where is all this "no game tape to judge him on"?

When it comes to Rypien, I'm just going by what the announcer said then he was out of shape in preseason. I didn't know he was Canadian until they said he considered playing there instead of re-uping with us. Omit it if you want, but you have to admit, he seemed very sluggish until well into the season. At least he did to me.

I wasn't saying that there was not game tape on him, i was replying to someone ELSE who said that by saying that he obviously had done enough if so many other teams signed him. Besides, everyone starts out with no NFL game tape. It's call having a great scouting team and coaching staff. There's more than just stats to see the potential of a man. The same way that a perfect pass, popped up by a guy thinking about AFTER the catch, caught by the corner of the opposing team... that's an interception in the QB's stats. They say that the numbers don't lie, but if you actualy watch the game and pay attention, you know the real deal.
