No fire from Trent

[dasaybz]

I remember a few years back, Manning got into it big time with his center Jeff Saturday. He was in his face and pissed off about something. I really don't remember what he was pissed off about, but a couple series later, him and Saturday were smiling on the sidelines and being buddies.

I have never seen any emotion like that out of Trent. It gets me thinking that maybe he just doesn't give a crap about football. Pay attention to him this next game, see if he ever gets mad, or gets in anyone's face, or if he yells at anybody. Nope, you'll just see him slap his hands together like aww shucks.

Now, I'm not saying you need to be a loud mouth to be successful, but a little bit of passion out of your leader would be nice.

Go look at the list of Super Bowl QBs, and tell me who out of this bunch is as laid back as Trent.

Re: No fire from Trent

So all we need is a guy like Jim McMahon who goes around head butting teammates and wearing unapproved attire on the field to get fined!

Theismann, Plunkett, Rypien, Warner, Dilfer - just to name a quick handful never got in the face of teammates.

And Joe Montana was extremely laid back.

You don't need to shout and rip someones head off to be successful.

Re: No fire from Trent

Trent seems to lack the confidence to play with abandon. Call it passion, courage, ect.

Re: No fire from Trent

Trent has enough problems on his own to worry about before going around and getting in peoples faces.

Re: No fire from Trent

I thought I made it pretty clear in my post that you don't need to shout and rip someone's head off to be successful.

Now, I'm not saying you need to be a loud mouth to be successful, but a little bit of passion out of your leader would be nice.

But all those guys you just mentioned had fire. Trent doesn't even come close to Warner.

I agree, but maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe he just doesn't have the passion to be an NFL QB.

Re: No fire from Trent

I don't think passion was his problem. Confidence is.

Re: No fire from Trent

I don't think passion was his problem. Confidence is.

His confidence has been shot ever since he took that hit from Adrian Wilson.

Unfortunately, it is very apparent he's never getting it back.

Re: No fire from Trent

Who the hell is Trent to get in anyone's face - the guy hasn't earned the right to say **** to anyone.

Peyton Manning on the other hand...

Re: No fire from Trent

Yeah, Trent is a sissy. What I noticed out of that list is how many times a QB from the state of Washington made it to the super bowl. hmmmm..... 2 words
"Jake Locker"

Hopefully Trent is our starting Qb and he will help us get inline to get Locker!!!

Re: No fire from Trent

I'll worry about him completing an accurate pass longer than 10 yards before I worry about his "fire."

One step at a time.

Re: No fire from Trent

yelling at another player suggests that you have enough faith that he'll get it right. our qb's spend so much time on their backs, i don't think it really matters what is said.

just breathe easily and take this 3-13 season as easily as you can.

I get what you are saying. I have heard Trent in enough interviews. When he talks about golf he seems to have a passion that is missing when he talks about football.

Re: No fire from Trent

maybe he is a psychopath and is unable of showing emotions

Re: No fire from Trent

The only time I've ever seen him play with heart was that win against San Diego.

Maybe Denver. You can argue Oakland and KC in 2008, but we should have never had to come back against Oakland.

KC was interesting because it seemed like he was just having a good time.

Not anymore. The guy is a schmuck. I'm sick of watching, "pat the ball, pat the ball, check down. pat the ball, pat the ball, check down."

At least Losman made sucking exciting. Every once in a while that blind squirrel found a nut.

Edwards has been more of a ******ed squirrel since that hit by Adrian Wilson.
