Have you people not seen the sports science episode with Drew Brees? The cat is superhuman.

In HD!

They looked at tape of both and timed the release times, and Favre on average had the ball out of his hands over an entire second faster than Rodgers. Not hard to see why he is taking so many sacks. Ben R can do that because he can throw off D lineman given he is 250lb QB, not so with Rodgers.

This also attributes to the boner ESPN has ALWAYS had for favre. Good or bad they have always worshiped him because they want him as a correspondent later. Even during the whole flip flop bullshit the last couple years they have always been on his side and never said anything wrong. It's even worse now (see Monday night's commentating and the week of jizzing over his "miracle" throw.)

That being said, I don't really look too much into what ESPN has to say over Favre. This isn't to say that Favre doesn't get the ball out of his hands quicker, he very well may, but we're also running a slightly different offense because we seem to have steered away from our quick slants for 7-8 yards like we did a few years ago.

Book it, done: Zorn is out. I doubt he'll be around much longer, certainly gone before the end of the season.

Oh Danny Boy, after Al Davis dies you will be gain the crown of the "Owner Most Wanted to Die". Too bad he's not even 50. Good luck DC. Never too late to embrace the Black and Blue of Baltimore.

Holy motherfucking fuckety fucking fuck.

I've always seen he's one of the best, most accurate arms in the league....but that got me hard.

Allright, I retract my earlier statement, proven wrong in true WTFPPMGBBQ!!1 fashion. Goddamn he's a machine. I am SO looking for that series on the torrent site in a minute.

HOWEVER, I'd still put Rodgers right around 5 or so...lemme see:

Manning? Better
Brees? Better
Roflburger? The junior Manning? yea, better.

I'd put him in the next group, with favre, rivers, brady et al at some point...so somplace in the 5 to 8 range.

Ham n Cheese · 10-07-2009, 04:21 PM

Yeah I'd say he's hovering in the Top 10, bottom tier.

removed my qb list, didn't want to get this thread off topic too much

Kitna took snaps this week in practice so Romo may be warming the bench soon.

We do have a conversion ritual for skins fans. It involves branding, paddles, and renouncing John Riggins.

Most of em can get to step 3 but then they quit.

How do you get that past the ACLU? I would think they'd bring up that whole eigth amendment thing.

It is not cruel (nor unusual when the skins are losing) to convert skins fans. We are liberators!

It's cruel and unusual to convert anyone in to a purple camo wearing douchefan of the Ratbirds=P

Ben R. is on pace right now through 4 games to shatter the alltime NFL single season record for completion % (73.2% in 4 games, all time is 70.55 for a season in 1981 by Ken Anderson--and Ben is averaging 35 attempts per game for 7th highest of all QBs so spare me the he only throws 10 times a game shit). At this pace he will also throw for over 4,600 yards this year. So much for the he isn't a pure passer bullshit~

No, he is not the greatest of all time but this year Arians is letting him open up the offense to see what he can do. And he might not maintain this pace, but even if he stays remotely near it his numbers are going to be huge. So far its pretty impressive, even more impressive is what Peyton is doing--hes on pace to throw for 5300+ yards gg, and thats with a couple of young guys at receiver in Collie and Garcon.

Gilgamel · 10-07-2009, 07:02 PM

Genj, is there any chance of Mendenhall pipping FWP?

Genjiro · 10-07-2009, 07:18 PM

I had to look that word up, never heard it before heh. I dont see why they would play Parker over Mendenhall, hes injured and clearly lost a step. Even if Mendenhall struggles it wont be any worse than what we've had, and they need to at least see if Mendenhall was worth the pick--taking him with a 1st round pick was the writing on the wall for a 30 year old Parker anyway.

I think we were 29th in rushing coming into the SD game, which kind of grates the souls of most Steeler fans who flip their lids if we dont play "Steeler football" and run 75% of the time like the Cowher era. Personally I like passing the ball more, its a fresh change from Big 10 football of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Long as you can run when you need to who cares so long as you win.

When the leaves turn you better be able to run the football.

Though I have to admit, seeing Ben and Joe flinging the rock all over the damn place would make my brain melt. It just wouldn't make sense to me.

If I were Tomlin I would def have to consider benching slow willie for mendenhall.
