The Official 08\09 NFL Football Thread

Ben Roethlisberger- not only is he a good quarterback, but I've never seen anyone have so much luck on their side

Philip Rivers- good at everything, just not great......yet

Eli Manning- just because he was one of the three that you listed



On a side note, I think that the NFL has another golden age of quarterbacks looming on the horizon.

Rivers, Romo, Ryan, Cutler, Flacco, Quinn

If you like offense, the next decade shows some promise.

Feel the same way, its hard living in SD telling people I would rather have BigBen.


Some of the younger guys do look promising, but I am sure some will get screwed by coaches, crappy lines or crybaby receivers.

Phillip Rivers - Swagger and that fire you really want in a QB. Has a weird delivery, but who cares? Hes got what Id want in a QB

Ben Roethlisberger - Hes been the beneficiary of good defenses behind him. I wouldnt start a team with him, but he isnt a bad QB to pick if you have a veteran team already. I would imagine Rivers or Manning would have a 2 rings also if they had been drafted by pitt.

Eli Manning - Dumber than dirt look on his face at all times, and i absolutely hate him. Im totally biased, so I will stop there.

Romo will not be an elite QB, so you can take him out of that mix. He chokes, and wont ever win a meaningful game.

Sounds like some other quarterback that I know of......















Just kidding, I've come to respect all that McNabb has done and I think a lot of the criticism is undeserved. Then again, he has had more than enough chances to prove everyone wrong.

[jflip2002]

He has proven people wrong. Hes not the one who gave up a game winning drive.

God I hate the fucking cock sucker Eagles. How do you let Bdawks sign with Denver? The end of an era, I hope they go 0-16 next year.

because hes old?

but yes, it sucks that the guy that was formerly your avatar is now not on the eagles. i know ill always remember him as an eagle.

[jflip2002]

Hes obviously not too old, if Denver wants him. They are such pieces of shit when it comes to our icons that get on the older side. Who's going to start at safety along Quintin Mikell? Maybe one of those first round picks should go to a safety.

edit: THANK FUCKING GOD Sean Considine is gone.

[TwoJ's]

jflip let's just hope that TJ chooses to come back home rather than staying on the east coast and signing with the Eagles.

[Aptyp]

I don't if Eagles have any one to fill Dawks shoes at leader position... I am really saddened.

[jflip2002]

I dont want Housh in Philadelphia. I think hed be a great addition to the Seahawks, though. He really just doesnt seem like much of an upgrade at the WR position, to demand $10m a year. Id much rather have Laverneus Coles for ~$5M a year, than Housh for $10m. Theres a small rumor swirling, saying Braylon Edwards to Philly for a 2nd and 4th round pick.

I dont know how the Eagles are going to replace Bdawks. It was coming sooner or later, unfortunately it came sooner, rather than later. We need to bring in Jermaine Phillips, or Id settle for Jim Leonhard or Sean Jones. Mikell is a very good safety, but I dont think Demps is ready to step into a starting role. He doesnt lay the hits a safety should.

I think a move that cant be underestimated is Stacy Andrews coming to Philly. He is Shawn Andrews' big brother. Stacy is solid, but more importantly he might help get Shawns head back in the game. There was a rumor that Shawn wasnt into the game anymore, and what not. Our line was decent last year, and that was with having Shawn, the best RG in the league, for only one game. So that should be huge.

[jflip2002]

A fucking fifth round pick for Lito Sheppard? You gotta be kidding me. I hope Joe Banner dies.

[maniacmatt]

The Bdawk deal isn't official yet is it? I heard a report that he had a meeting in denver and then he would give the eagles a chance to match their offer?

Maybe I'm not up to date yet though.

[jflip2002]

No, youre right.... I just came back on to report that. NUMEROUS sites reported he signed a 2 year deal with Denver. ESPN just came on the air with Sports Center, saying he VISITED with Denver. Chris Mortensen said all along Philly was going to let him seek the fair market value, and they would match the offer out there.

PLEASE GOD LET BDAWKS RETURN!

[maniacmatt]

I sure hope so, there is no way they can replace such an emotional leader.
