True, but it doesn't mean it won't translate either. I mean, you don't scout certain abilities/skills with the thought process that those abilities/skills won't apply at the next level.

And you just quoted a stat in which Tom Brady was worse than him...

All I'm saying is maybe the Bears gave up on him too early, didn't coach him up, he was in the wrong system, didn't have enough experience, etc.

Either way, it sounds like they were willing to bring him in, and still might be. I'd take a flyer on a young QB with a winning record, and who has taken two teams to the playoffs in the past four years. He didn't put those teams on his shoulders, that Bears defense had a lot to do with it, but he was the starting QB for both of those teams. For me that counts, and like I said we haven't seen the same QB take this team to the playoffs since 1992.
