To just look at those two games that he played well in and to miss the fact that he's been in bench warmer in all the other games is to not to properly evaluate him.

It's not about each QB in their hay day or when they were drafted it's about at this moment. No he's not better then Palmer, Manning, or McNabb when they were drafted, but he's better then them right now. He's healthy which McNabb is not usually which is why I didn't want him. Palmer has not looked like himself after his ankle injury. Manning is not healthy and wouldn't probably start day one 2012. No one compares to Vick... cause his style is so much different. He's a Cam Newton or RGIII. They are more of a scramble first type of QB. Vick is changing though. But he has had trouble staying healthy a full season.
Then there is JC. I know what we had in JC and I was ready to move on. I'm not sure why but he stopped running for the 1st downs. He threw a lot of dirt balls like McNabb. He hardly looked down field to the open WR. He never moved in the pocket to buy himself time to let plays develope. I'm not sure Flynn will do it, but he did have a really good game against a really good team. It's not like he played some piss poor team and barely won.
