That’s true. But I’m 38 years old and have loved football since I was a kid. I’ve watched a ton of football over the last 30 years. Minshew has a feel for football and just strong enough of a arm to make it. He’s a dude. I believe that.

He's Baker Mayfield Light.

And I like him, too.  But after two weeks?  Meh.  Once he plays a few games and gets a book on him, then let's see how he reacts.  What I saw last night was a ton of respect for Fournette.  Loaded box looks.

Has Brett Favre charisma, confidence and leadership qualities. Also Favre style size and mobility in the pocket and not being a runner. 

Not the arm, so that’s a bad comparison. But he’s a cross between Favre for leadership/personality and mobility on the field and maybe, yeah, Mayfield as a thrower. 

These are big time comparisons, but like I said, I just couldn’t believe my eyes with his feel for the game.

Well Gardner was offered the opportunity to be one..

You watch The Deuce on HBO? Its about the formation of the porn industry in the 70's in NYC. A lot of the characters in that series look like AR did when he was sporting his stache.

When Favre was that age, he had about 30 pounds on Gardner.  Favre was as mobile as they came, too.  

Remember the Halloween game in Chicago?  Young Favre was a runner.

I don't see much Brett there.  But I do see a lot of "underdog" like Baker.  And the size of Baker.  Similar arm, too.  From what I've read, I think Gardner may be a little goofier.

I could be wrong, but it still like my comparison. Favre could move just enough to scramble and run a little. Minehew is the same to me.

And Favre came back out of shape a couple times but most of his career he was 225 or so. Same as Minshew. Same kinda tough, muscular build.

No way Favre is 255 pounds there.

Go look at him in There's Something About Mary.  1998, I think.  Right after his MVP years.  That's not 225 pounds on a 6'2''' frame.  That boy was country thick.

I think it was about that time that Wolf learned that Favre was around 270.  Not sure about this picture, it doesn't look 270, but I'd say on 6'2 or so, that's all of 250.

I don't know about what Minshew looks like.  I heard announcers say he has big, thick, powerful legs, but I can't tell underneath the uniform.

He (Minshew) has that goof, fun demeanor, though.  Kindda contagious.  Very easy to root for.

Rodgers looked like a wanna-be porn star.

I've always said if you want to know if you're good looking grow a mustache.

If people say, "That mustache looks stupid. You look like a 70s pornstar." You're good looking.

If people say," That mustache looks stupid. You look like a damn pedophile." You're ugly.

What if you get punched before saying anything? Asking for a friend

I've gotten both. Will have to tally next time I grow it to determine attractiveness.
