Bah, recency bias. A higher hype:failure ratio than Johnny Manciel or Ryan Leaf?

outdoing Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf?

The Cowboys traded for him. I just hope the Niners can find a kicker who can kick before Sunday.

You know what they say, not all players are created equal.

OT: As a Tampa Bucs fan, I love how former Buc Donavon Smith got that one key essential holding penalty on the Chiefs which negated a first down and put them in a bad spot late. Dude did that numerous times for the Bucs in close games last year and resulted in several called back first downs and 3 or 4 TDs as LT. The most penalized full time offensive lineman in the NFL over the last few years. Nice win by the Lions. Two guys were knocked out of the survivor pool I am in.

Todd Marinovich enters the discussion.

As a 49er fan….The 49ers made a mistake in drafting the kid. He just did not have the experience. Then he gets made the starter last year ? It was like making him the starter out of high school. All the pundits will say Shanahan’s offense is complicated. Purdy played 4 years in college. That counts for something. I really don’t see Lance getting much playing time in Dallas. I hope he invested his money.

I’m with the first dude.

Leaf, Manziel, Marinovich, Russelll – there’s a pretty long list actually
