Who is he a fan of, the Chicago Cardinals? Crusty old bastard.

The feminine looking dude in his avatar that I see on 47th (or 51st?) when I go through there - what’s up with that?

I think I have finally found a former QB that he is comparable to. He is the next...............Daunte Culpepper.


I see him as a Romo/McNabb guy. Culpepper sucked once you took away his toy.


This I can agree with. Culpepper had a much bigger arm and actually wanted to be a quarterback

The only people that think Young is comparable to (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky in anything other than the position they play are people really too young to have seen Young you know, actually play the game before his last couple of years. Or don't appreciate that today's numbers are the byproduct of hamstrung defenses.





I watched Young when he played with the Bucs and up. (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky definitely has moments that remind me of him. His escapability being one of the main things.


Being as good as Young is a different story, but there are similarities. I’m not sure why you’d argue against that -maybe you didn’t watch Young play.


I've been watching Young play since BYU. What he was was free wheeling, but he always had better mechanics, accuracy and was a far, far smarter player than Mitchell. He had nothing around him in Tampa, and near universal scorn from the football elite for playing too "wide open", just like Warren Moon had been.

(Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is simply proving to be generally inexperienced and possibly even a little slow witted on the field. Making any comparison to a HOF player ridiculous at this stage.




Comparing them in terms of actual accomplishments is ridiculous -watching him escape pressure and make a play and saying he does things at times that reminds one of this guy or that guy in that instance is not.


We need to establish what’s being argued on those terms exactly. Because I’ve seen Mitch make individual plays that are reminiscent of plays Steve Young would/could make.


Of course I’m not comparing Mitch in his actual accomplishments with a guy like Young.

Drew Brees. He's a Saints fan so he knows what a great quarterback looks like.

I stopped being a Bears fan in 87, in favor of the Saints. Fortunately they recognized the mistake of Ditka soon enough for me to not sour completely on the NFL.

And my avatar is of noted playwright Lorraine Hansberry since you asked.

Did you watch young McNabb or Romo? I would argue that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is actually ahead of McNabb right now.


Ahead of McNabb in terms of what? Overall skills? Or overall skills compared to other quarterbacks of their respective generations?


Production, accuracy, reading defenses and being comfortable in the pocket.


OK, but that gets you nowhere since Mitch isn't as good compared to his peers as McNabb was to his. McNabb made the Pro Bowl in years 2-6. Will Mitch ever be selected to a Pro Bowl?

Old quarterbacks play longer now. There aren't 10 young quarterbacks who are better and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is still raw. Would you rather have Winston? Of course not. (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky has top 10 production this year despite being raw and wildly inconsistent.

Popularity with fans can get them into a Pro Bowl as much as ones play. McNabb earned his 1st Pro Bowl completing less than 60% of his passes and a 77 QB rating. Mitch could finish his 2nd season and completely eclipse those numbers McNabb put up in his 2nd season and not make the Pro Bowl. Not sure this is the best way to approach any comparison between the 2 tbh.

It was actually funny, she was sitting at a bar, spotted me and gave me a gasface so severe that my wife couldn't believe that I'd never seen her before. If she'd been 15 years younger and at least mildly attractive my wife wouldn't have believed anything but the worst. :lol:

Seeing a black man probably pissed her off. Seeing a black man with a woman probably made her bitter ass run out and type 15 articles.

You may have posted the exact same thing when I first relayed the story here 12-13 years ago. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That clears things up considerably. Now I don’t have to ask myself who the fuck that is whenever I’m on 51st.

Thought it might have been a 50s/60s Chicago Soul legend or something.

Where is the mural for Curtis Mayfield with the giant buck teeth? That’s my favorite singer of all time, and a true Chicago legend if there ever was one. Why does this Hansberry fella get a mural, but no Curtis?

Unlike Mr. Mayfield, Lorraine was born and raised within walking distance of her mural. Why Mr. Mayfield doesn't have one nearby, I don't know. He didn't live far away when I was a kid.

But if I heard it right, he may be on one nearby 43rd and Vincennes . Or is planned to be.

Nice. I hope they capture his early 60s likeness even though he’s much more popular for his solo stuff.

No hate, just resigned amusement after the public disappointment that she is
