NFL Trash Talkers Thread

Absolutely will when that time comes. No way to know, too many intangibles and things out of the player's control. Remember too that I always said I will not decide re Tom until he officially retires..

It could well be that argument, sure. You forgot Larry Bird on your basketball list too.

And yes, Tom is an anomaly. How many position players that aren't kickers play till age 45? Virtually none. Plus he had only the one year he was injured, and lost 4 games due to that football PSI rubbish.

Arguable. All that week after Saquon hit 2000 and it was "will he break ED's record" many said it's bullshit since the games per year was different.

While it still stings that the Pats went 18-1 that year, an unbeaten regular season is still pretty impressive.

Dan M is a tough one, never won the big one but then again that's not a decider per se in my book.

 

Don't forget about all of the scandal's that will forever be an asterisk in the TFB conversation. No doubt TFB is and will probably always be the most successful QB. In my mind he is probably not even top 10 as far as being the best. Dude was one hell of a game manager but he was not a very good athlete on the standard that we measure players by. Rarely did something amazing. He is a hell of a competitor, he is able to execute the game plan and get the best out of the pieces provided to him. He is smart and able to read a defense pretty well. All that added up to him being the most successful ever. The fact that he went to Tampa and did it with that team shows what strengths those things are. I attribute the majority of his success to his sheer desire to win. He sacrificed everything to win in whatever system he was in. Dudes diet alone is something 99.9999% of the population is not willing to endure. I am not fan of TFB but I respect the hell out of the dedication he had and the sacrifices he made to be great. This is where he is different than anyone ever. And in those respects he will probably always stand head and shoulders above anyone else.
One thing is for sure. TFB will not go down as a great commentator. He is absolute garbage in the booth!

 

? Not crying. Stopped caring about him when he went to the cardinals

 

I remember the accusations of the recording/video of the Eagles in 2004 SB, ‘deflategate’/Colts…Being an Eagles fan, I don’t buy it. There was no legit evidence revealed in either case.
Roger Goodell suspended Brady on zero factual evidence. Goodell is scum in my opinion.
Brady is the GOAT (for now) in my book.

 

Tough to say re the athlete/amazing type thing, as there are those who it matters to and others it does not. He could definitely manage a game well..remember those early Super Bowls were mostly won by the defense and some clown named A Vinatieri.

Tampa, that year he went there they had a better offense re weapons for Tom. Evans, Godwin, the run game. I hate to speak of Gronk but he had a rapport with Tom that was big despite him being a lumbering oaf at that point.

I'll say this..you never heard about Tom out at the bars stage diving at an Everclear show or rolling his truck on the highway (ask if you don't get it haha). Was always home and off to sleep early, plus as you said the diet and such. Sacrifice, just look at the fact he never got paid close to market value in New England, not once..he took less to have the team build alongside/around him.

Re commentary..eh..there's room for improvement there. Though better than Joe Buck, though that's not saying a lot.

The deflate thing..I think it could have been handled better. Both sides (the team and the league) did not do everything right in my book. It could easily have been said by the league that it's something that hasn't been enforced as it should be and will in future seasons, this/that will change, and get on with life.

Among other things, Aaron Rodgers when that was happening openly admitted to overinflating the balls himself. Yet not one word was said to him or the Packers.

My friend had a flag that said "Goodell is a douche"..haha

Thank you again Buffalo!

 

Steelers punt Russell Wilson out the door.

 

I believe part of that is his analytical mind. He's not stupid and knows the game as well as anyone. I believe that his mind just over thinks what he's trying to say.

 

I may be the minority here but I actually like TB in the booth. Him and Romo both break down the plays and explain why they ran them and what coverages are trying to do to stop them.

 

Romo COULD be a great commentator. His knowledge is evident. But he keeps talking over the play by play guy. If he talks about 25% less he’d be great.

 

wtf Kelly to the raider as OC

 

Leaving Ohio State.

Wasn't he an NFL Coach before?

 

Yea Philly I think. Edit: 49ers too

 

Man the AFC West is loaded with coaches. That doesn’t always translate to wins but that division COULD rival the AFC North in a few years.

 

Well, I just may have to get back into watching the NFL religiously if the Raiders are gonna make it worthwhile. lol

 

Jeff Hanneman approves

 

Well that should settle it!

 

Well Dam, I feel better already

 

Eh, Goodell is a douche
