[CBFF] Rex Poll from the Trib.

[Steve Behrens]

Arizona's a good Team?  GB's a good team?  Miami?  Those are two terrible
teams right there (and an average one in Miami) that he had his worst games
of the year.  That discounts the 'against good teams' theory quite a bit.
Plus, he played well vs NO and well enough vs Seattle... 2 good clubs, one
being a SB team from the year before playing very well.

I'm still sticking to the consistency factor... and for whatever reason, not
being comfortable in the pocket in those games.  No quarterback has perfect
mechanics all the time....  Favre made a living and won a SB off of throwing
off his back foot...  what they do is overcome mechanical problems with
confidence in their game.  Rex needs to be able to maintain that confidence
for every game instead of letting his nerves get the best of him.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
