Firing Harbs was an absolute mistake, but he wasn't going to right the ship as long as Baalke was in charge.

Teams and fans waiting their whole lives for the one QB that's going to fix everything

Meanwhile Flacco and Dilfer got carried to rings, and I'm set for life because of it

Honestly. Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl. Phillip Rivers never has. (and likely never will).

I wouldn't say Flacco was carried. He went on one of the best post season tears we've ever seen.

Flacco was carried by that yellow flag

Not even close.

He was able to do so because his o line kept him clean and his defense kept him in games.

Flacco was carried by that yellow flag

This too. that PI offense. (That Ben stole this season).

Not even the worst one in the history of his franchise.

Which he made it to following what remains one of his worst regular seasons ever, including a game where the OC got fired the week before and he looked even worse than he did when Cameron was blamed for it

Dilfer had one TD in the SB

One

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Aaron Rodgers, another example. "Franchise guy" hasn't been able to return to the Super Bowl after winning it with a team stacked on both sides of the ball.

Sometimes you're alright.

Lest we forget. Dump off on 4th and 29. Is that the aforementioned Chargers letting Ray Rice convert?

Remember when Packers fans insisted Rodgers didn't need receivers, an o-line or a defense? Good times.

Last year their entire team was pretty mediocre, and injured. They still made it to the NFC championship even with a mediocre team purely because Rodgers existed.

An elite QB should be able to cover all this weakspots of a team by himself. If he can't then he's not good enough.

lol that's such an awesome play right there. 3 Chargers fail at the first tackle, 1 comes close and gets demolished, and they finally get him at the first down.

 

[Jarnet87]

Fewer and fewer QB's are going to be complete statues like Marino or Rivers is currently.

That doesn't mean a guy like Jameis should be considered duel threat.

Jameis is a dual threat QB. As in a threat to his opponents and to his own team

 

[Bronx-Man]

Dilfer had one TD in the SB

One

The Dilf knows how to get it done

 

[cdyhybrid]

Jameis is a dual threat QB. As in a threat to his opponents and to his own team

Alternatively, a threat to women

He's a triple threat.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Dalton is a dual-threat QB in which he’s exceptionally skilled at both throwing picks and fumbling the ball

 

[neoemonk]

What the actual fuck is going on in that last picture?

I think someone threw up

 

[cdyhybrid]

Nike under investigation now too. BBB gonna be the only clean shoe brand. Too bad Scooter isn't alive to see this.

 

[Doomsayer]

Also losing a winning head coach didn't help despite the locker room issues

We lost him because of our dumb fuck GM.

We're getting closer to this:

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Stunning news I'm sure you'll all be surprised to hear: Andrew Luck won't practice this week

 

[cdyhybrid]

Stunning news I'm sure you'll all be surprised to hear: Andrew Luck won't practice this week

He's dead, Jim.

 

[Rvaan]

Stunning news I'm sure you'll all be surprised to hear: Andrew Luck won't practice this week

Why was he not on the PUP list?

 

[MechDX]

Will Fuller returned to practice today. Could be interesting with his speed to take the top off defenses.













Then of course drop the balls thrown at him

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Why was he not on the PUP list?

Can't sell tickets to a season if your QB's IR'd before Week 1

Their next month is @Seahawks, vs 49ers, @Titans, vs Jags, and @Bengals. If they drop 3 of the first 4 of those, he should be IR'd before November tbh. No need to risk making his poor health worse in a lost season

 

[Milchjon]

2015 Peyton

 

[CrocMother]

 

[Goro Majima]

Why was he not on the PUP list?

Season ticket holders will bail out and they'll lose a shit ton of money

Nobody wants to tell the fans that their season is already over

Edit: damn it Sweeney!

 

[yankeehater]

Why was he not on the PUP list?

Irsay wont let them admit that he is seriously injured.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I missed Ravens QB discussion.

They all have sucked for all time. Seriously. The best QB we've ever had was Randall Cunningham at 40.

Last 10 Super Bowl winners:

XLII	Feb. 3, 2008	University of Phoenix Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.)	New York Giants 17, New England 14
XLIII	Feb. 1, 2009	Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Fla.)	Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Arizona Cardinals 23
XLIV	Feb. 7, 2010	Sun Life Stadium (Miami)	New Orleans Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts 17
XLV	Feb. 6, 2011	Cowboys Stadium (Arlington, Texas)	Green Bay Packers 31, Pittsburgh Steelers 25
XLVI	Feb. 5, 2012	Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis)	New York Giants 21, New England Patriots 17
XLVII	Feb. 3, 2013	Mercedes-Benz Superdome (New Orleans)	Baltimore Ravens 34, San Francisco 49ers 31
XLVIII	Feb. 2, 2014	MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)	Seattle Seahawks 43, Denver Broncos 8
XLIX	Feb. 1, 2015	University of Phoenix Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.)	New England Patriots 28, Seattle Seahawks 24
50	Feb. 7, 2016	Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, Calif.)	Denver Broncos 24, Carolina Panthers 10
LI	Feb. 5, 2017	NRG Stadium (Houston)	New England Patriots 34, Atlanta Falcons 28

Of those teams, the only team to win on the back of their franchise QB only were the Asterisks. Even the Peyton Manning led Broncos went out and paid for a defense after they were embarrassed by Seattle. As it stands, yes Peyton was considered a franchise guy, but he didn't win that game for them - the defense did.



What's funny? Packers had a top 3 defense their Super Bowl year. Not to mention Pack fans are in here complaining on a weekly basis that Thompson and Capers are wasting Rodgers prime with a trash defense.

you just proved my point for me. I said the last ten superbowls all the winners had a QB considered elite or managed to play elite during the playoffs.

there's three QBs on this list from both teams that aren't considered every day elite, Flacco, Eli, and Kaepernick. Literally everyone else on the list is considered elite, Rodgers, Ben, Manning P., Brady, Ryan, Warner, all considered elite the only borderline guys are Wilson and Newton.

You also can't sell tickets if you break your QB so badly he has to retire. Deciding to not put Luck on the PUP and attempt to rush him back is a dumb move that is putting the future of the franchise at risk.

Yeah, totally ready to take a hit to salvage a season

Nah. Luck has a chin.

The Bengals, Browns, Chargers, Giants, and Niners have yet to win a game this season. The race for Darnold continues.

He wore out the book? He also looks like a before picture when some one has done drugs.


Giants wont draft a replacement for Eli this off season.
