Chicken Boo

Your concerns aren't without merit. Stick to your guns. What I find funny is that every one of these guys had a 3 down, all purpose back that the offense should have ran through to ease the burden (Tomlinson being the exception). The coaching staff saw/see things differently and insisted on having these QBs attempt to carry them to the promise land and all have failed/are failing. LA should lean on Ekeler. Instead they don't want to pay him what he's worth. It's lunacy.

10th isnt bad, in my opinion. He may be a couple of positions higher, as this list is subjective. Waller can't stay healthy, so I don't put much stock in him being on the list at all. There will be a few risers this year as well. I talked about it in another thread, but keep your eye on Chigoziem Okonkwo in Tennessee. He is crazy talented!

In about every way imaginable. He was the better QB. Retired 5th all time in passing yards and TDs.

They're threatened by the language.

Phillip Rivers, who *may not get in, has more claim than Luck.

Burks is good. Okwonko is a burgeoning tight end. He is a weapon!

Burks showed flashes last year. Sum bish cost me about $60k on Draft Kings vs the Packers on the final play of the TNF game. And Chigoziem Okonkwo is for real! Yet again, the Titans are a QB away...

Haven't had CPR "training" since high school. I keep telling myself I'm going to get certified. This is good motivation to get off my ass.

The disrespect... Where on God's green Earth did you get the impression that Ray Lewis was poor in coverage? He is 6th all time in interceptions by a LB, arguably the greatest linebacker in history and I'd argue, one of the highest football IQs in league history. He also ran the 40 in 4.58. Urlacher ran a 4.57. Both are first ballot Hall of Famers. Ray was the general of the defense, but it wasn't comprised of just him. At different times, Peter Boulware, Jamie Sharper, Adalius Thomas, Suggs, Ed Reed, Chris Mccallister, the d-line...no QB is killing them at any time. Part of the reason he has 2 Super Bowl rings and was the leader of the greatest defense, statistically, in history.

His scrambling isn't the problem. He just needs to slide or get out of bounds more often. Russell Wilson is the best ever at not taking hits when scrambling. That's what I'd like to see from Josh. Save the beast mode heroics for those pivotal moments or big games.

The 2005 AFC Championship. Patriots DBs mugged Colts WRs off the line all game long, disrupting their timing. Today, there would have been flags for illegal contact, holding or outright interference if you played like that.

Exhausting...

Manning came into the league in 1998. The massive shift of the NFL becoming a passing league happened around 2011, as evidenced by the 5,000 yard passers. Peyton had Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James from '98-'05. His career high in passing attempts was in 2010. Tom Brady's passing attempts jumped sharply in 2011 throughout the rest of his career. Per Wikipedia: "The 2011 season saw an unprecedented amount of passing offense: Three of the nine highest passing yardage totals of all time were established: No. 2 Drew Brees (5,476), No. 3 Tom Brady (5,235), and No. 9 Matthew Stafford (5,038); Eli Manning threw for 4,933 yards, which places him 14th all time.[1] It also saw Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers establish the all-time single-season best quarterback rating of 122.5.[2] Further cementing the modern NFL's reputation as a "passing league"[3][4][5] was the fact that, for the second consecutive year, the league overall set a record for most average passing yards per team per game, with 229.7, breaking 2010's record by more than eight yards per game.[6] (For comparison, the league-wide average rushing yards total finished the 2011 season at 57th all-time.)" The defense rests.

Brady played for 20 years. There's been a ton of rules changes in that time. From 1984 to 2008 there were two 5,000 passing seasons. From 2011 to current, there have been 13. The rule changes paved the way for this shift.

More the safeties than the corners, but they were no slouches. Hell, just on the Bills and Phins you had Clemments, Winfield, Surtain and Madison.

The 2000s is arguably the greatest era of linebackers ever. I stand on that statement. Safeties too.

It was a different era. Peyton's receivers were also allowed to get mugged on their routes and killed after the catch. The linebackers of that time are better than the linebackers today.

We get it. Josh is good, BUT it was a vastly different game in the late 90s-2000s and yes, Peyton threw a ton of pics early in his career.

Awful is losing 4 Super Bowls in a row. I was an elementary school kid in Maryland that had to deal with Washington, Giants and Cowboys fans. Unpleasant core memories...

He threw a great deep ball, but by the end of his time here, I was done with him. He lost whatever magic he had. Shame he didn't get more games with Sammy, Woods and Clay all on the field.

It was awful. How can anyone see it differently? Some of you are nuts.

That was my argument from the start, had you been paying attention. How do they win the SB without finally getting past the juggernaut Pats?

Gabe will get in the 12-15 million range, probably.

The AFC Championship game, chief.

Without the defense stepping up the way they did in the 2nd half and the zone on the final series, the Colts lose. It's that simple.
