He did this while being pounded by sacks with a young line that was developing early but would eventually emerge as our Super Bowl champion front 5. He didn't complain. He suffered a major injury to his throwing arm running for a first down, yet sucked it up and played through the pain when the team decided that Clipboard Jesus was a flop. He went 4-2 down the stretch as this franchise started turning the corner. He earned Marshawn's respect. After a year in exile in Buffalo, guys like Sidney Rice and Doug Baldwin lobbied for him to come back as the backup for a fun Super Bowl run. When we clinched the NFC title, he was one of the first people Russell sought out to share the moment with. He's a fixture to the right of Russell on the bench as the defense is on the field and they review the tablet ... likely a carryover from the film room. I just don't understand why we'd ever want to change something that's not broke. Tarvaris is a big part of our locker room whether you want to admit that or not.rideaducati":1r4i0ln0 said:Siouxhawk":1r4i0ln0 said:There's a reason Tarvaris has outlasted the likes of Vince Young, Brady Quinn and Terrell Pryor ...
Yeah, he supposedly knows Bevell's system. I'm sure he is a great guy, but as a QB, he is awful. I don't know what you were watching in 2011 that makes you believe differently, but your eyes failed you.
Tarvaris was barely more responsible for those 7 wins in 2011 than I was and was DEFINITELY more responsible for those losses. He had been in the system 6 seasons and made mistakes rookies usually have fixed before their rookie season. I give him zero credit for playing through injuries because he was a detriment to the team when healthy and shouldn't have been on the field to begin with. He sucks.
