I am NOT trying to throw shade on Rising. What I meant by that is that he took a team that was down two touchdowns and brought it back to within a whisker of winning it. That's pretty good scoreboard if you ask me even if you did lose.

However, that was in a game where the opposing team had had no preparation for him. They had prepared for Brewer. Who's to say that if they had prepared for Rising in the same way, you guys wouldn't have lost by even more than two touchdowns?

In all the rest of the games, your opponents will have time to study Rising in detail and plan accordingly. The scoreboard for those games will determine how good he really is.
