"Though he be but little, he is fierce.

That’s Shakespeare, boys, Shakespeare."

Tobey Maguire as Red Pollard – “Seabiscuit”

 

November 1, 1938 – Pimlico Race Course – Match of the Century

 

There was a time when the people were depressed about their circumstances and surroundings.  They saw no hope for the future.

But in the midst of that depression, a handful of people came together and saw the future in an athlete.  A thoroughbred considered too small by all others to compete at the highest level of his sport.  But they saw what others did not.  They saw that he had the heart of a champion.

 And throughout the land, others began to hear of his accomplishments and they, too, began to believe and cheer for him, knowing that he was the best.

If I'm reading it correctly, yes...   In a head-to-head QB skills matchup with heavily favored Tom Brady.

If Toby McGuire is our offense, then the analogy makes sense.
