I like Elway a lot. There are lots of other Qb's who are in same category but the way I see it Manning and Brady are still a notch above. Im not saying that those two are the best who have ever stepped onto the field and everyone else is just avg or decent.
Mike makes a really good point about the dead ball era though. Guys like Bradshaw would have put up way better numbers if the rules were all the same back then. The NFL has catered the rule book to make the game more exciting by making it much much easier for offenses and harder for the Defense. So it is very difficult to compare them.
Bradshaw no, Elway yes, Young Yes, Montana no. Its just how I see it, nothing more nothing less.
On a sadder note Richard Seymour has now departed from the Patriots.
New England Patriots deal Richard Seymour to Oakland Raiders - ESPN
One good thing is that they still have Jarvis Green who I imagine will take his place, hes always been an incredible back up to Seymour and could have started for many other teams. Glad they held onto him
I read the Farve one and the one on brady. That really puts things into perspective. I hold Brady in high regards but seeing all his numbers in black and white is something else
His regular-season (87-24) and postseason (14-3) records as a starter are each the best among active quarterbacks
I said 12X and 26 a few posts ago, i was pretty close
101-27
Don't be sad... they ROBBED the raiders.. Belichick got the raiders first rounder for 2011. So he traded away a player he could not sign and got a potential top 5 pick.. hell the raiders are managed so poor that could be a top 2 pick
Sure seymour is still a very good player but this is a good move that will help them make that defense younger Plus you hve to remember seymour is best suited as a DE in a 3-4defense. this team looks like it's going 4-3 based on personal
Plus I am sure this is one of the things the magic hoody is taking in consideration that in 2011 we might have a rookie salary cap.. If that is the case then a very high pick from the raiders would not have to be traded
I agree 100%. Looks like a very good move for the Pats. Unless they have no one to take his place right away it's a smart move. It helps the Raider's crappy Dline but they have so many problems it seems like a dumb move for them. They need a complete rebuild as opposed to the "finger in the dike" approach.
What I love most about the great 8 list is Eli isn't on it at all.
Finally after what always seems like years, we are going to start some real NFL action in just 3 days! Have a good Labor Day and get ready for some football!
well just about 13 pages of preseason talk, a lot has gone on in a short amount of time but now its time for all this stuff to really count. Few more days and opening NFL week/weekend will be underway
When I saw Chad Pennington on the list, that told me all I needed to know.
The jets just suck.. they could have any qb out of that list and still fail because they are a failure of a organization. LOL even tom brady who never talks crap called them the one team in the NFL he has no respect for
BTW if you can't tell I really don't like the jets or their fans.. Seriously why would anybody from NY or NJ be a fan of the jets when they have a good organization like the giants in the same building..
BEREA, Ohio -- The mystery about Cleveland's starting quarterback has been solved -- sort of.
Browns coach Eric Mangini informed Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson of his decision during a meeting on Tuesday night, and both quarterbacks did their best to keep the secret as the team prepared for Sunday's opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
But by mid-afternoon, word already was starting to leak out. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that according to a league source, Quinn got the nod to start.
