[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1090819, member: 18006"] I think they have a number of similarities, when you think about it. Some directly comparable, others less so, and some just intangible. But once I started noticing that, I had a hard time [I]not [/I]noticing whenever I watch the Chicagoes. Both are dynamic, aggressive quarterbacks, well-known for their off‑script creativity and willingness to throw risky passes downfield instead of always taking conservative check‑downs. Playmaking, improvisational quarterbacks who can move, very often extend broken plays, and throw effectively from [I]out [/I]of the pocket rather than purely static dropback passers. Dangerous even when the protection completely breaks down, turning a lot of sacks into 1st downs. Guys who regularly make things happen just when you thought it was all over. And, exciting as hell to watch (unless you're a Packer fan). Electrifying quarterbacks who energize the crowd and inspire their team. Yeah, he had a dangerous, "all in, all the time" playing style; he attacked so many broken plays with reckless abandon, and paid the price far more often than most quarterbacks. I see a little of that aggressive tendency in Williams, but nowhere near to the extent of McMahon. In his 7 seasons with the Bears, McMahon played in just 60 out of 106 possible games - barely 60%. I think Williams is bound to have a few injuries himself as his career progresses, but he seems more disciplined and prudent on the run, and he's much more sturdy than McMahon was. He's over 30 pounds heavier; built to take a licking and keep on ticking. I've already seen him get up many a time and trot back to the huddle after being absolutely whomped; he's a tough SOB. And I don't think we're going to be able to count on interceptions the way you can often look forward to with most "out of the pocket, running for his life" quarterbacks. They finally - [I]finally [/I]- found their quarterback. The next 10 years are going to be a lot tougher for the Packers (and a lot more competitive) than the last 40. I don't remember any time in my life when the Bears had a quarterback I respected this much or worried about as much. [/QUOTE]
