Does this seem like history repeating itself?

At the risk of repeating things other have already said, I just have to.

*stands on soap box*

From 1998 through today, this team has relied extensively on a star QB to win games with maybe a few (Freeney, Mathis etc.) defensive stars.
If Manning didn't play the assumption was a loss. No quality backup.
If Luck doesn't play, the assumption is a loss. No quality backup.
Sure we have had great offensive talent, but who would throw to them?

Have they not learned?

Not all teams have a good backup, I get that. But not all teams have the caliber of starting QB that we have been fortunate enough to have. So the drop in playing ability is not as severe for them. Those teams are more well rounded.

The new GM may be starting to correct that, it is a long process. But dangit!
Star QB backup up by a no name, low talent, low expectations, hope we never have to play him backup? WTF?

We open against the friggin' RAMS and it is assumed a loss without Luck at QB.

*you can have this soap box back*
