100%. No doubt in my mind. Give him a coach who knew he had the Golden Goose and knew how to coach him and the rest of the offense in a way that played to his strengths and diminished his few weakenesses, then sit back and watch the greatness and the SB rings roll in.
As it is, he changed the way the game is played, at every level. VY utterly redefined the QB position forever, whether he gets credit for it or not. Prove me wrong.
Lamar is my favorite NFL QB to watch now, because he's the closest thing to VY. That said, he's still not what VY could have been in the NFL, but for sure he's a perfect example of coaches knowing what they have and knowing how to let him, and to enable him, to get out there and do his thing, then reap the rewards of that.
Exactly. He only ever got credit for his mistakes, even when many of the mistakes weren't even his mistakes.
Yep. Fuck the Texans, Fuck Jeff Fisher, and Fuck Bud Adams.
He powered through when he needed to. He just didn't need to very often. Never seen someone that big who could come even close to making people miss the way VY did. I played some highlights for my 19 & 21 YOs the other day and that was the first thing they started talking about . They were absolutely mind-bottled.
Just ask Lloyd Carr. He threw his defense under the bus after that Rose Bowl, calling them out for poor tackling. A few days later he came out and said he was wrong. He said the tackling was solid, but they weren't tackling a normal player. Superman was kinda hard to bring down. He esp noted how strong VY was in the pocket. Said he was damn near impossible to bring down in the pocket with just one guy.
