Tired of quick annointing of NFL QB's!!

Ben Roethlisberger has a super bowl ring and is the second coming of Jesus Christ - right....


oh wait, he isn't playing like superman this year... oh wait he never did...


and I'm a steelers FAN. BR was great at not fucking up and did a good job of making a few good plays, but the fact remains that he, Carson, Eli, Phillip et al are all still young QB's - they are not Favre, Brady, PManning ect.

great thread thump!

Aside from a couple of young phenoms-Carson Palmer,perhaps P. Rivers-QB in the NFL is a veteran position, and a guy who bounces around, but has enough skills to keep getting picked up-Delhomme,Gannon, D. Huard-is the way to go-observation and field management count for a lot more than a 4.5 40 and a rocket arm. Unfortunately, finding that one guy bouncing around is sometimes a crapshoot.....

Vick's hype is from the fact he's one of the most visible or heavily marketed players in the NFL. To the non-NFL fan he gets the most hype outside of Peyton in the media for QBs. I think the NBA is in a diffrent galaxy with overhyping and annoiting of players.

The biggest problem is there are too many pregame/postgame shows. Each are competing for the ratings and each are spreading the talent of real quality analysts much to thin (much like the 30 teams in MLB spread the limited # of pitchers who actually belong in the majors too thin). So, unqualified idiots are making stupid predictions, hyping those who don't deserve it and putting together moronic segments (can we all together say "jacked up"?) in order to compete in a world that should be limited to one or two shows.

Great idea for a thread. Rep for the creator!

Did you hear the guys in the booth blowing all that sunshine up Favre's ass last night? What the hell has that guy done lately?

Oh, and this thread *is* the greatest we've seen in awhile. Nice job, guys.

:wink: :p

Three posts in 6 days is NOT the sign of a great thread, FCB. This thread is just plain awful. The management ought to clear up a roster spot by demoting this one to Bucknuts.

Ditka did say last night that Parcells looks like a genius now for benching Bledsoe. But he also said lets see how Romo is when the going get tough, can he handle the pressure?.....we'll see...
Brady Quinn (circa 2006) is probably even a better option than Bledsoe.
