Fromm = Tom

DomerGiant2008 : 12/26/2021 8:43 am
Jake Fromm could be the next Tom Brady .. please save this post so you can later acknowledge my genius

Remember, at one point everyone thought Brady was a tubby, weak armed career backup.

Do you need any more evidence that I am right?

Your hypothesis aside,  
k2tampa : 12/26/2021 9:21 am : link
Scouts considered the 6-4.5 211 pound Brady skinny and weak, with poor muscle definition. Fromm was under 6-2 and weighed 219 and looked much stronger. He had short arms and smaller than average hands. The similarities were a lack arm strength, and both were thought to be smart QBs who made good decisions, could work through progressions and didn't make mistakes.

not to make TOO much of it, but there did seem to be a little bit of a jolt when he came in. he was not a shrinking violet.

I’m interested to see what command of the huddle and quick decision making brings to the offense despite the reduced “arm talent”. If the offense suddenly “clicks”. It could be an indicator that DJ is one of the issues.

this happening, how awesome would it be for the franchise if this young QB ends up playing really well? I feel like this team is due for some good luck after nearly a decade of garbage aside from that fluke 2016 season.
If Fromm scores more than 3 TDs  
MeanBunny : 12/26/2021 11:24 am : link
And even if he loses, and has command of the huddle and is fast thinking then we have a new QB next year.
I know management is still thinking DJ is new Eli but Eli was a lot smarter and knew when to throw the ball away or just flop on the ground. Being able to take a dive and being available is a huge skill in NFL. Jones is such a blockhead...rushes the goal line with his brain bucket as first line of defense. Can't read defenses. Can't scan for Wide Receivers and doesn't know when to roll the dice in his top outside WR.
God please let Jake from State Farm nail this today or it's another year of Daniel Jones trash
the big common denominator  
Batenhorst7 : 12/26/2021 11:26 am : link
is they both are very smart players who get the ball out quickly and accurately

Both had sterling college careers

Brady for Michigan

Fromm for the Bulldogs

Both were then ignored in the draft

There are a lot of parallels

We shall see a lot more today

here is what was said after Brady's first start head to head against Peyton Manning

The Patriots routed the Colts 44-13 in Foxborough on Sept. 30, 2001, and though kicker Adam Vinatieri (three field goals) and running back Antowain Smith (94 yards and two rushing touchdowns), had impressive showings, Brady was fairly pedestrian.

He went just 13-for-23 with only 168 yards and was sacked once.

But his performance impressed some simply beyond the box score.

I can’t disagree with any of this. Awareness is Jones’ fatal flaw so far in his NFL career.
Except Brady was a 6th round pick

While Fromm was merely a 5th round pick. Try again!

The important part about the small sample size we got  
bradshaw44 : 12/26/2021 11:37 am : link
Was he appeared to rise to the occasion and commanded the huddle well. A smart QB can make up for lack of arm talent.

I’m not delusional, I know the odds are slim to none. But the kid played in a top 10 program and beat our current NFL starters for the job. So I’m sayin there’s a chance. A small chance. But a chance none the less.

And it’s better then KNOWING the person coming out of the tunnel sucks and there’s nothing left to hope for.
Ohhhhh

He was being funny. Pointing out that Fromm was actually drafted higher than the best ever.

I’m more in line with Lloyd Christmas when he learns the object of his affection is a married woman. So you’re saying there’s a chance…
Lots of silliness.

But Fromm has bushier eye brows!

From a list of logical fallacies.

Hasty Generalization Fallacy
The hasty generalization fallacy is sometimes called the over-generalization fallacy. It is basically making a claim based on evidence that it just too small. Essentially, you can’t make a claim and say that something is true if you have only an example or two as evidence.

Kind of like a low ranked heavy weight boxer getting lucky against the champion and knocking him out in 10 seconds. We all know it’s a fluke but you’ll have people out there claiming the lucky boxer is actually a better boxer.

Here’s the reality guys  
Dave on the UWS : 12/26/2021 12:18 pm : link
A legit backup should be able to run the offense, make a few plays when needed, but NOT be the reason the team loses. If he does that today, then he’s a good backup candidate for next year.
