And that there is an active NFL quarterback who was an early second-round pick who:[/I] [LIST] [*][I]Uplifted his team to an 8-8 record in his first season starting on a team predicted to win four games or fewer.[/I] [*][I]Won at least half of those games in dramatic fashion by leading game-winning drives.[/I] [*][I]Began the next year 1-7 before being benched by his coach.[/I] [*][I]Bounced back at end of same year, and displayed great growth.[/I] [/LIST] [I] Which QB would you pick? If you chose Geno Smith — you would be absolutely correct. But if you chose Drew Brees, you would also be correct. The young careers of Smith and Brees are so similar they could pass for twins.[/I] [/QUOTE]
