[QUOTE="kalabo10688"] Joe namath one with a couple of bums JackBurton
Bums? You're being sarcastic, right?
Namath threw for 4007 yards that season, which would be the equiv' of a 5500-6K season now.
His "bum" WRs:
Don Maynard (Hall of Fame) 71 catches, 1434 yards, 20.2 avg, 10 TD's
George Sauer, 75 catches, 1189 yards, 15.9 avg, 6 TDs
This in an era where the "great QBs" averaged 50-53 completetion % rate bc DBs could get away with anything short of an anal probe while WR's were in the pattern
Only 3 QB's had 3000+ yds... NFL: John Brodie 3020, AFL: John Hadl 3472 , Daryl Lamonica 3245
warren moon threw for 49k+ yards in only 12 yrs of legimate play and never made it to the SB kalabo10688
not to disrespect W.M., but he played in a gimmick offense, the run-and-shoot.
Said offense is reason he didn't get to a SB. After taking a 35-3 halftime lead over Bills, they could not sustain drives and run time off clock to prevent Buffalo from taking the field. Their offense wasn't built for it, and they fell victim to biggest comeback in history bc of it.
No one in pros runs the run-and-shoot and this is main reason why it died a quick death.
terry bradshaw won 4 superbowl yet only threw for 20k in his career kalabo10688
it took T.B. eight years b4 he had a 300 yard game-- SB XIII
(which just so happened to be in the same year the Mel Blount rule was instituted)
Teams are great not qb..kalabo10688
Elway carried the Broncos on his back to 3 SB's. On his back! Those weren't great teams, go look at their rosters... it was primarily Elway. The main reason he's in the argument of being considered best ever.
Brady has 1 marvlous season and all of sudden he the greates qb ever....get outta herekalabo10688
Please. I hope this is again a bit of sarcasm.
Look at what Peyton has had at his disposal on offense vs Brady, and tell me who performed the best with the least.
If Manning was truly all that, he'd have beaten Brady's Pats at least once more in AFC Championship games, instead of choking down on one of his came-changing INTs in those games. If part of that isn't on Manning, (i thought he was best prepared, studies hardest, call his plays yada yada) then Belichick truly is better than anyone will aknowledge bc of their petty hatred and/or jeaousy.
Brady has proved again and again and again that he's the "clutch QB" of this generation
SIDE NOTE: Troy Aikman doesn't have typical Hall of Fame numbers, BUT he has 3 SB Rings.
QB's are ultimately measured by Championships... Brady 3, Manning 1.
I was about to say some of the same things about that post. It was just flat out ignorant... Along with a few other posts in this thread. I can't believe a few people deny Brady of his greatness. It's just purely disrespectful and claassless.
