Bill Parcells points Hostetler to the field where the 1984 draft afterthought took muliple body slams while throwing well, leading the Giants into the Super Bowl. There, NY was a big underdog to the Bills. But Jeff, possibly the Super Bowl QB with the least experience before the Big Game, threw for two TD and surprised the world by leading the Giants to win everything that is anything in football. And I'm not even going to write anything about Joe Montana not getting the draft call until the third round. Many times, conventional thinking stresses me out.
People deal with uncertainty through rigidity.
I just don't look at things that way. Going against that axiom however isn't good for career advancement. But it certainly makes writing fun. Overall, I'd say I'm winning. If the Steelers get Doug Flutie, they'll also put themselves in a positon to win.
