I’ve had this thought a bunch lately. Alex Smith came to mind as well as Steve Young, who was forgettable as a Buccaneer before gong to SanFran. Brett Farve was traded to GB before he took off. You can perhaps put Tua in there also. I’m sure theres a couple more but they’re rare and the common denominator for each is getting paired with a great offensive coach. I’m rooting for Justin big time but this organization has done absolutely nothing to help him become great. Drafted by a lame duck GM and Coach only to then be given a defensive HC by a new GM who clearly wasn’t hired to build around him. If Justin pulls this off and proves himself here, he will have done it alone. If/when Justin leaves, he could be one good coach away from reaching his potential.
