NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Steve young was the bollocks. Not many QB's could throw and run like he could back when the hits were still brutal.

Saints owner died this week. Wish ours would do something to inspire anything close to this. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgrUc3kB3xp/ (Second lines have to be the best kind of funeral there is.)

"I'm not a saying Elway was the best, just who I'd like playing for me and who id pay to watch, same with Walter Payton at RB and Singletary at MLB. just certain players stand out to you personally, I do have some Redskins players who I think are up there with the best in Riggins, Green and Monk"

[Hermit Road]

"In 10 years time the question will be, ""òafter Carson Wentz, who is the next best QB ever?'"

[El Scorchio]

"Thing with Brady, although you can't argue with what he's accomplished through his career, is that he missed a season and they went 11-5 with MATT CASSEL playing QB. They also went 3-1 with Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett in 2016 with healthy points totals in each game. Consider when Peyton Manning missed a season, the Colts went 2-14. No doubt Brady is a great, great player, but the Pats didn't really miss a beat without him. Most teams completely fall to pieces under the same scenario."

"southbank, what about Johnny Unitas?"

"Elway is as good a quarterback as anybody else who played the game. Brady is outstanding (disappointingly for Jets fans), Montana has the numbers and rings, Bradshaw is not far behind Montana in both respects, Marino, Kelly and Favre had cannons for arms, and Rodgers has a lot of everything. But Elway had everything in abundance. Unlike Montana (who played for the second wealthiest team during a period where there was no salary cap), Elway regularly played behind a very average o-line. Yet he was consistently outstanding. Dragged his team to two super bowls when they had no right to be there. Later, dragged his team to back-to-back Super Bowl wins when, again, they were not the strongest team. Brady is regarded as the GOAT. And he is superb. But he has had the benefit of playing under possibly the game's greatest coach (miserable bloke though he is). I genuinely think Elway is a match for any QB in history. Neck on the line player. Outstanding to watch."

[Far Cough]

"Yeah, he was a great QB along with Joe Montana"

[Takashi Miike]

"love it. he was up there with the bravest players I've seen, didn't give a shit about anything other than getting the job done. of course, montana has the numbers/titles over him but for enjoyment watching them play, Elway's the pick :.)"

[Far Cough]

"Yeah, for the Yankees"

[Mr. Burns]

Didn't Elway refuse to sign for someone and threaten to play baseball instead?

[Far Cough]

"Mike, John Elway and ""The Drive"" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXTHkseg7tg"

[Takashi Miike]

Elway's my favourite QB

[Far Cough]

"Haha, John Elway was number one pick that year and Dan Marino was 27th twenty fucking seventh"

[southbankbornnbred]

"And Todd Blackledge (Chiefs) in '83, too. He was also a solid starter for years. Incredible depth that year. Three genuine legends in the same draft and three really strong starters, too."

[Far Cough]

That Dan Marino draft was a great year for QBs Dan Marino Jim Kelly John Elway Ken O'Brian Tony Eason

[southbankbornnbred]

"My concern already about trading away so many good picks to move from #6 to #3 is that the Jets seem to be toying with the idea of using the third pick to land Baker Mayfield. You never can tell of course, but he looks like the weakest of the four 'bigger name' QBs in this year's draft. I'd probably take any of Darnold, Rosen and Allen above him. Yet we've traded to #3 and are reportedly eyeing him up. That concerns me. I hope they re-think. Mayfield looks like a good college QB, of course. But Johnny Football was a good college QB and won the Heisman."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Favre played one season for us (9-7) and was still good, but was clearly in decline. He had a micro-tear in his shoulder throughout the final third of the season and lost four of his last five games. Great, great player - but not a Jets legend: he's (rightly) all about the Packers. Vinny was a battler and a better QB than people gave him credit for. He'll always be remembered for the Monday Night Miracle. But he was not a franchise QB at the Jets. The fact is that the Jets have only ever had two franchise QBs. Namath and O'Brien. Pennington got close for a brief period, but was too injury-prone. Broadway Joe was electric - a genuine winner who knew what it took to get over the line in tight situations. O'Brien was under-rated, and part of the class of '83. He was a decent QB for the Jets for years. But he should never have been a Jet - incredibly, we passed on Dan Marino in that draft. Only the Jets could do that! We have rarely been able to draft decent QBs, as you can tell. Which is why I worry about the upcoming draft and the fact that we've given away three second round picks, which could have been used to bolster a very poor roster elsewhere."

[RBshorty]

Vinny had his moments. But Brett. There was a QB you could hang your franchise on.!

[Far Cough]

Brett Favre Vinny Testaverde

[RBshorty]

WTF.! That's 50 years ago. They must of had someone since then.?

[Far Cough]

Joe Namath :-)

[RBshorty]

When was the last time the Jets had a franchise QB.?

[southbankbornnbred]

"RBS - you might well be right. With the Giants looking likely to back Eli, it's quite possible that they'll take Barkley at #2. He's probably the best player in the draft, but Cleveland probably have to take a QB at #1. They're very keen on Darnold, despite his on-off season this year. He's a good all-round QB, too. That'll give the Jets a run at Rosen, Allen or Mayfield at #3. They have to take a QB this year - somebody has to grab the franchise by the balls and get them moving on offense. Allen has the biggest capacity of the three. But Rosen is the safer bet for starter."

[RBshorty]

southbank. There's no way Barkley going to be on the board when the Jets get to pick at 3. Cleveland might panic and take him at 1.? But with so many other teams needing a QB and willing to trade up to get them. The one they want will most likely be gone by 4. As for the Giants at 2. Well getting Nate Solder to look after Eli blind side. Pretty much screams they trust Manning for the moment. And all they need is someone he can hand the football off too. The interesting scenario is could the Bills trade up with the Giants for the No2 spot.? Now that would throw the cat among the pigeons.!
