So The Beard once again went .500 in his NFL Playoff predictions:The Jets offensive line didn't have the production they've shown this postseason, and only mustered 86 rushing yards against the Colts. That won't get it done. Mark Sanchez showed that he might be for real with some very nice throws particularly his second TD pass to Dustin Keller when he got destroyed as soon as the ball was released. The Colts defense made the necessary adjustments at half time though, and allowed the Jets zero 2nd half points. Peyton Manning continued to make his case that he might be the best quarterback ever in NFL History. Manning attacked and destroyed the Jets Safety's with deep throws, and as a result got Doug Plank fired as the Jets defensive backs coach. Plank has to be worth at least an interview for the open Bears D-Coordinator position doesn't he?
Brett Favre continued to show why he is the all time interception leader in NFL History by committing one of the most idiotic throws in NFL History to end the game and the Vikings Super Bowl run. Sure, Adrian Peterson fumbled too many times. Yes the vaunted Vikings defense didn't perform the way they have all season (did Jared Allen even play btw?). Absolutely that 12 men in the huddle penalty before the pick was really detrimental to the Vikings cause. None of that matters though, because if Brett Favre is supposed to be as good as all the Favre ass-lickers at ESPN/NFL Network/Fox/John Madden/CBS constantly say he is, he cannot make that play. That is inexcusable. High school qb's get yanked for making that kind of throw. Jay Cutler gets crucified (justifiably) for making throws like that. Maybe it's me, but I believe that 40 year old hall of fame bound quarterbacks know better than to make that throw back across the field right?
There are 9 other quarterbacks I would trust more in that situation than "The Almighty Vicodin" and they are as follows:
1. Peyton Manning
2. Tom Brady
3. Ben Roethlisberger
4. Eli Manning
5. Kurt Warner
6. Phillip Rivers
7. Carson Palmer
8. Drew Brees
9. Matt Ryan
The best part of the Favre throw? The Vikings Radio announcers immediate reaction to it. Give it a listen here.
Personally Rodgers has proved he should be among this list considering Matt Ryan is? Also i would consider McNabb?
ReplyDeleteYes! Both of them are more trustworthy in that situation. So make the list 11 then. 11 different guys, yet Favre gets his nuts licked 24-7.
