and now he's older.
i think the redemption angle is interesting. he can be an example that you never wad up a human being. i wouldn't want that pressure but i'll root that he pulls it off.
but as a qb, i've never gotten the love for him and i still don't.

I know he wasn't a great passer but he's one of the most exciting guys with the ball in his hands that the league has ever seen. When he'd take off out of the pocket, nobody would leave their seats because you might see something spectacular. Just like Barry Sanders and Gayle Sayers.
