#7 for the 7th. #1991 #HughMillen #QB A cautionary tale shared in light of recent #quarterback scenarios proposed by some of the more suspect members of #PatriotNation: the case of Hugh Millen, savior of the franchise, from December 10, 1991, by Terry Price of the #HartfordCurrant. FOXBORO, Mass. - It is clear by now, the #NewEnglandPatriots have a quarterback. Hugh Millen is the real thing. At least Patriots coach Dick MacPherson is convinced. "I think Hugh Millen is rapidly developing into something very, very special," MacPherson said. And you know who should get the credit? It's offensive coordinator Dick Coury. At Coury's urging, the #Patriots acquired Millen last winter. The move stands as potentially the best player personnel decision the team has made, with apologies to Hall of Fame lineman John Hannah. You can't get far without a top-notch QB in the NFL. With one, you can do all sorts of things. "Each game he gets better and better. He knows the offense as well as I do," Coury said. "That's a big plus. He's very, very intelligent. He's almost too intelligent for me to deal with. I carry a dictionary with me just for some of those words he throws at me." The #Pats can look to improve by drafting offensive linemen or secondary help. Quarterback is no longer a priority. Barring injury, Millen, 28, could be the #NewEngland quarterback for many years. #Champion #Replica #ChampionJersey #PatriotsJersey #PatriotsJerseyArchive #GoPats
