The Atlanta Braves Thread

[TBrown]

Can’t believe this is my life

My FIL told me this weekend that he is a Lions fan and has always loved Barry Sanders.

I’ve known this man for 13 years and he has never once mentioned the Detroit lions or Barry sanders and we’ve had many sports conversations.

My first thought was never thought I’d see the day that the Detroit lions had bandwagon fans but HERE WE ARE.

Speaking of lions

I was wrong about David Montgomery. That he was a JAG in CHI and just a JAG with a better OL in Detroit. Dude makes plays, always falls forward, and is really hard to tackle.

Goff living the best JAG life imaginable tho

Is Brad Johnson the worst Super Bowl QB?

Rex Grossman

Or if your talking winning QBs, Ben Roethlisberger's 1st was BAD

I was watching GMFB last week and there was a stat about the first time since 1995. A question came up on who lead the Lions in passing and receiving in 1995 and I was like that’s easy. Scott Mitchell and Herman Moore. Somehow none of them knew that..

Either Grossman or Trent Dilfer

Baltimore went 7-1 with Dilfer as the starter and won the SB with him having this statline: 134/226, 1502 yds, 12 TD, 11 INT, 6.6 Y/A

Johnson actually was solid for his era. That was pre passing boom and he was probably the like 10th best QB in football.

Non including injury backups who won (Foles and Hostettler) it’s gotta be Dilfer.

Jim Plunkett and Doug Williams deserve a shout out.

Mitchell is easy to forget but Herman Moore? Really? That’s super easy

I was actually thinking about our Monty conversation today. I thought the same but he is so much better after initial contact. He’s way more shifty than people realize too.

The good news for Detroit is if they get home field that significantly lessens the chance Goff has one of his rare meltdown games. He’s had maybe 2 bad home starts in 2.5 years. And he was really good last year in the playoffs and the supporting cast this year is even better.

Big Ben went 9 of 21 with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Steelers won 21-10

Significant news for Nashville

This league!!

 

[zjcvols]

Big Ben went 9 of 21 with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Steelers won 21-10

True but Ben was pretty good that year. 17/9 in 12 games, led the league in YPA, 98.6 passer rating.

I’m thinking overall career, not just one game. Some of those 70’s QB were brutal

Craig Morton in Super Bowl V went 12-26 for 127 yards, 1 and 3 INT lol

 

[05_never_again]

Big Ben went 9 of 21 with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Steelers won 21-10

If you're talking QB performance in a SB, yeah, that could be the worst. He had a good season that year though, especially for a second-year QB in that era.

Now that I look at it, I didn't realize he was that bad during their 2008 SB-winning season.

Peyton was terrible when the Broncos beat the Panthers. Cam wasn’t much better in the same game.

Big Ben really wasn't that impressive in any of the 3 SBs he played in. He got a late TD against AZ to have 1 TD and 1 INT (he was 21 of 30).

55 of 91 (60.4%), 642 yds, 3 TDs, 5 INTs in his 3 SBs. 69.9 QB RTG (22.6 lol in the 1st SB).
