Dusting off my rear view mirror, I see significant parallels between the teams of 1979 and 2015, in that both teams had successful QB's in their last year and the need for a QB for the future.  In '79 we had a Freshman called Elway, recruited by Bill Walsh in 78-79. and who played significant snaps in '79 and achieved superstardom in 80-82 and afterward on Sundays.  Shonert stayed in the NFL for many years, but never cut it at the Sunday level. In '15 we had the well matured Keven Hogan, and two OK recruits (Burns and Chryst).  All three of them (to date) have not excelled at the higher levels.  As for '15 we turned down Rosen, apparently due to the suspicion of arrogance, despite his obvious talents.  He could have been Hogan's Elway, showing his stuff on the practice field, easing hiimself into the no.2 guy slot, getting playing time when appropriate, and getting to (and probably playing, given the rout) in the Rose Bowl.

As it turns out, we haven't sniffed the Rose Bowl since Hogan left, and we missed on being able to watch a great QB play for us in 2016-2017.  What a pity...

Aren't many of the greatest QB's arrogant? (modified to remove hyperbole).
