The Next John Elway?

[epicSocialism4tw]

This kid has a long way to go, but he sure sounds alot like Elway. One can dream.

Rhett Bomar 6'4" 208/4.5 40yd
Redshirt Freshman
Oklahoma University

...Bomar, a red-shirt freshman, also gives the Sooners a solid run-throw option with 4.5 speed in the 40 and a strong, accurate arm. He has the ability to make an Adrian Peterson-type impact in his rookie season. In fact, Rivals.com had Bomar rated as the nation's best high school player in 2003 (ahead of Peterson). Over the course of his 27-game career at Grand Prairie (Texas) High School, Bomar threw for 6,097 yards and 58 touchdowns and ran for 1,623 yards and 33 scores. The three-year starter missed the final two games of his prep career with a broken hand, but recovered in time to quarterback the West squad in the U.S. Army High School All-American Bowl. He was also chosen the Outstanding Quarterback at the EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.

The son of a coach, Bomar is a competitor who is used to being on the field. That made last season tough, as he was forced to wait patiently for his chance. Now his time has come, and he was mentally prepared for the quarterback competition during spring practice.

he probably won't start this year unless he impresses this year in fall camp

let's see him play before we start calling him Elway

Yeah, I know that Thompson is ahead of him by proxy...I saw Bomar play locally and this kid is as multidimesional as Elway for certain. He's a real athlete and can gun the ball accurately. If he doesnt start opening day, it's just a matter of time.

does this kid play baseball?

Yeah, but I dont think that he does for Oklahoma. I could be wrong though.

There will never be a "next John Elway."

It's like the MJ thing in basketball...Its fun to prognosticate.

Elway was a winner and its hard to teach that.

There will never be a "next John Elway."


I disagree with that...Many in the media love to throw the labels around way too prematurely but there will be another and probably better. Jack Nicklaus was to golf what Elway was to football x 10 and yet 30 years later we are probably seeing Nicklaus 2.0 in Tiger.

Absolutely. He’s just a fetus at this stage of his NFL career.
I love how the experts try to pick the next greats to be. Remember how Todd Marinovich was supposed to be the prototype for how to develop a perfect QB? His career and life turned out to be one of the biggest trainwrecks ever.
And then someone like Shannon Sharpe, Terrell Davis or Tom Brady comes from nowhere…
Geesh, you have to love the "experts".

Rhett Bomar has a strong arm but when he came out from HS he had a reputation for being an asshole and being uncoachable. So, if true, that would immediately seperate him from Elway. I also dont think he is anywhere close to Elway in terms of ability either.
