The Gipper Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 No Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, Michael Vick, Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler, Colin Kaepernick, Phillip Rivers, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, or any number of other "name" QBs. Note: Only 2 SB titles among all these: P. Mannings and Flacco. Moral of the story....2 morals of the story: just because a QB starts out like a house afire doesn't mean that flame will stay lit.....and other QBs just smoulder at first before bursting into flames.

cdl15 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Im sure no one liked mannings deer in the headlights look either after his first season. And he was highly criticized for his shitty mechanics too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
