Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ace]

Go Vols!!!
Time to tame those cats!!!

Just to stir the pot here, so you’re saying Tom Brady was easily a better qb than Peyton Manning?

I’d quibble with “easily”, but I made my peace with that verdict awhile back.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That’s correct.

Dude, that's a hill.

Watched PM highlights someone posted here a few weeks ago. That may have been a team, but it was also a player who made his team better. As evidenced by the 96-97 teams.

 

[mrMet]

I would never. I’m a Peyton Manning loyalist and not trying to get my VN card revoked.

Well, sounds like you have a little hypocritical argument going on then

My only point of the post was his argument about stats, accolades both team and personal etc when making an argument for Mahomes

Here ya go @jave36 your dump off king

Andy Reid is a short route genius. That's his whole offensive philosophy. They're not dump offs as in "oh shoot nobody is open I'll just check down," they're designed short routes that are always wide wide open.

Now I will admit that somewhat takes away from Mahomes luster. If all you're doing is throwing 2 yard routes to wide open guys and they run for 5 more, are you really the best ever?

I never said the bolded but throwing the ball behind or at the LOS is a dump off whether it’s designed or not. I mean that’s 0.8333 air yards per completion there lol

Also hope you’re feeling better

I am feeling slightly better, thanks.

Ill admit I'm not the authority on the definition of "dump off," but I've always interpreted a dump off as "my first and second reads weren't open, so I'll just dump it off to my check down." Sounds like we're saying the same thing with different words.

In Brady’s case he had BOTH by the end of his career.

January 28, 1986

Where were you? I was in my Sophomore year at BGA watching it in Economics class.

The Challenger shuttle crew, of seven astronauts—including the pilot, aerospace engineers, and scientists—died tragically in the explosion of their spacecraft during the launch of STS-51L from the Kennedy Space Center about 11:40 a.m., EST, on January 28, 1986. The explosion occurred 73 seconds into the flight as a result of a leak in one of two Solid Rocket Boosters that ignited the main liquid fuel tank. The crewmembers of the Challenger represented a cross-section of the American population in terms of race, gender, geography, background, and religion. The explosion became one of the most significant events of the 1980s, as billions around the world saw the accident on television.

Glad you’re a little better this morning. We’re all rooting for you.

Sorry QBs don’t win games on their own. Did Peyton catch his own passes? Did he play center? Did he block for himself? Did he play RB and TE? Did he call plays? Did he play defense or special teams?

No he didn’t. As TN fans what do we know? It doesn’t matter how good the QB is if your offensive line is bad you are toast. Take the 2007 Patriots. Undefeated. Juggernaut. Who did they play in the SB? A 10-6 NYG. Why did the Pats lose? Because the Giants defense won the LOS against the Pats OL. Brady was under pressure the whole game.

Like this past year for us. Nico had a decent year. But how many of our 10 wins can you honestly say he won? What game did he just absolutely light a team up and cripple them? The main reason we won 10 games was our run game and defense. Not Nico. But he gets some mythical credit for those wins?
