However, Tavita beat SC on some great throws (and catches). Wonderful game, but he wasn't exactly a star.

The final result may have you misremembering. I don't have the stats but Tavita had an AWFUL game, with resurrection at the end. Doesn't make it any less wonderful, though.

True. Tavita was 11 of 30. On the last drive he was money. The question is, was he good or was he lucky. I think lucky, and that is why I don't want to anoint any QB based on a one game sample. Show me a season and then it isn't luck. Dioesn't mean McKee isn't actually great, but it is too soon to know.

You don't need more than a one game sample to conclude a few things about McKee:  (i) he can be incredibly accurate, (ii) he can make a lot of difficult throws, and (iii) he has command of the O and when/where to get rid of the ball.  Those are 3 key ingredients to stardom.

I was the first person to say it is probably unrealistic to expect McKee to be this accurate and have this kind of success week-in and week-out; however, I feel pretty confident that McKee has "it" - which is what Luck and Elway had.

Maybe that's a misread.  We'll see . . .
