Re: NFL Football Thread
You just proved my point regarding Eli becoming one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Thanks.

I'm not going to say that Eli is not a good qb or the leader to this Giants team. He is both. However, Eli is not a great qb. He is very solid but far from great. He is part of the puzzle of a VERY GOOD team. I don't think he makes those around him greater. Another qb like him would be Roethlessburger(hate him) in Pittsburgh(hate the team as well). He's far from great, but solid and a part of the puzzle. However, like Roetlessburger he is showing an ability to not get rattled and do something good in a key moment of the game. A qb that I would say is having a great year and is the best in the NFL right now is Drew Brees. This guy looses his running game, his top receiver, then his tight end, then another receiver, then another running back and he still puts up great numbers. He is making those around him better. He may not be winning like Eli, but then Eli don't have the defense that Bree's does. |

Re: NFL Football Thread
If you would have seen the game at the beginning you would have sworn that Pitt was gonna get it's butt kicked. Pitt started the game with an onside kick they failed to recover, and then Pitt had another turnover right after that. Luckily Pitt held them to just 6 points from those turnovers. From then on it was downhill for Washington.

Re: NFL Football Thread
I agree that Eli is a solid piece of a great team made up of merely good parts. Part of the credit would have to go to the coaching staff, they are a well coached team.
For all the talk about Tony Romo, he is a very average quarterback and he cannot save a team that is struggling in many areas of the game right now. Maybe even more important are the personalities on this team, I don't think they are a great recipe for a winning team. They are great front runners but they SUCK under adverse conditions. +1 for the Drew Brees comment. I likewise am not a Saints fan, but they have got the qb in the league right now.

Re: NFL Football Thread
Brett Favre doesn't f**k up because he's paying more attention to Jessica Simpson.

Re: NFL Football Thread
I will not say that Romo is average, but nor will I call him great either. He needs to put more than 2 years under his belt before being called a great one. He has the potential to be a very good if not great qb. However, have the numbers and wins for 10 years and then we'll talk greatness.

Brett Favre 61.6% completion % 1.52 TD's per INT thrown Tony Romo 64.6% completion % 1.86 TD's per INT thrown weird...oddly very similar Farve has 1 superbowl for the 17 years he has played. If Romo has less championships in 17 years of his career....then I'll believe you

Career Brett Farve: Honors and awards Favre has won the Associated Press's MVP Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award three times, all in consecutive years (1995, 1996, and 1997; the last shared with Barry Sanders). In 1999, he was ranked number 82 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. In 2005, TSN published another special feature honoring the 50 Greatest Quarterbacks. With his career statistics considerably augmented, Favre was ranked number 4, behind Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana and John Elway, and just ahead of previous Packer quarterback legend Bart Starr. Favre was named the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year in 2007. Favre has been selected to play in the Pro Bowl nine times in his career. Favre is a six-time All-Pro selection. Favre was named to the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team. Has received the NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor 12 times. Records and milestones Favre currently possesses most of the well-known NFL career records for quarterbacks, including: Most AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997) Most consecutive starts by a quarterback (NFL): 261 (283 including playoffs) Most wins by a starting quarterback (NFL) regular season career: 165(Regular season record: 165-96) Most career passing touchdowns: 457 Most career passing yards: 63,467 Most career pass completions: 5,557 Most career pass attempts: 9,021 Most career interceptions thrown: 300 Most career games with at least three touchdowns: 65 (2nd) Most career playoff pass completions: 438 (Montana, 460) (2nd) Most career playoff pass attempts: 721 (Montana, 734) (2nd) Most career playoff passing yards: 5,311 (Montana, 5,772) (2nd) Most career playoff passing touchdowns: 39 (Montana, 45) (Tied 1st) Most career playoff interceptions thrown: 28 (Jim Kelly, 28) (Tied 1st) Most career playoff losses as starting QB: 10 (Dan Marino, 10) Favre's 261 consecutive starts trails only Jim Marshall's 270 consecutive starts as the longest such streak among players at any position. In the playoffs, Favre stands behind only Joe Montana in pass completions, passing touchdowns, passing yards and passing attempts. In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history. With 38 "come-from-behind" 4th quarter wins & 2 more overtime victories, Brett Favre is the Green Bay Packers record holder and second only to John Elway's 47 4th quarter or OT "come-back wins", in NFL history. Consecutive starts streak Brett Favre started every game his team played from their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 27, 1992. He is currently in first place for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL and one of only five quarterbacks to have started over 100 consecutive games in NFL history. Tony Romo: Two Pro Bowl appearances. Holds Cowboys team record for 300 yd games. Weird, not oddly similar.

Re: NFL Football Thread
By the way, Romo is in his fifth season and after five seasons Farve had been to the Pro Bowl four times and MVP twice. Romo has been to the Pro Bowl twice.
I edited my above post to be fair and include TR's two pro bowls and the one team record I can find. I don't think he's awful, I just think it's an absurd comparison. I really can't believe I am doing this, defending Farve. I hate the Packers.
