Houston is in win now mode....?

This team isn't turning jack shiz anytime soon. We sign Romo and might win 5 games next year.

We'll see. You may be correct. If NE had Gronk I'd tip it towards them. We'll discuss after next Sunday

Keep in mind, there's no gap between the QBs. Pittsburgh heavily relies on a massive gap between Ben and the opponents QB. They won't have that this Sunday. New England is a complete team.

Rodgers' pocket awareness, accuracy on the run, and intangibles are just incredible

Thanks for getting this back to about the Playoff games.

And btw............awesome post. I agree w/almost all of it.

I can't say who is the GOAT. Too hard to do. Johnny U was my favorite ever and I think he belongs in the conversation. He was putting up huge numbers in an era that was completely different from today's.

But again..........it's hard to compare them all. There are only so many great ones and to be included in that group is quite an honor.

And I agree w/you about Dak. What he did yesterday was amazing. I mentioned his poise earlier. It's so evident. Great leader. Smart. NFL size and arm. I am NOT knocking anyone, but man, he was had in the 4th round. That's amazing in and of itself.

I would just like to say, that after watching Aaron Rodgers' post game interview.. if he wasn't already a great QB, he'd have a solid career in NASCAR..

Dude was channeling his inner Dale Jr. last night..

That is a great article. Thanks for sharing.

I am sure that Rodger shares similar feelings about Brady's greatness.

Two of the all-time greats. No doubt about it!

I love watching excellence.

Anyone notice the four QBs in the Conference Championships:

Brady = Elite
Rodgers = Elite
Big Ben = Elite
Ryan = 2nd tier, but has the opportunity to establish himself as elite this year under the direction of a superior offensive mind in Shanny.

Headline from ProFootballTalk.com tonight:

Brady, Ben, Peyton are 14 of the last 16 AFC Super Bowl quarterbacks

Wow! Is that correct?

This is the best post you've ever made.

And quite observant.

This notion that Pitt is going to beat NE at NE with Brady at the top of his game is absurd.

Okay............what odds are you willing to give? 1,000 to 1?

I'll take that bet.

You keep making a huge point of it being absurd that the Steelers can win. Put your money where you mouth is.

It's not absurd that the Steelers can win. It's absurd that D4Life is already crying about it. He's acting like NE doesn't have a chance. They're the better team with the better QB and they're at home.

But if you'd like to make a wager on the steelers I'll book it. Same odds and line as the vegas books. PM me the amount.

If I'm BB, focus on stopping Bell. Brady can go toe to toe with Ben. New England can't let the Steelers run it too.

What? You are the one going crazy on anyone who thinks that Pittsburgh has a chance. You used the word "absurd."

NE should be favored, but to say that Pitt has no chance is what is absurd.

I will give you a crazy prediction. Michael Floyd will have multiple catches and a TD this week.

It's absurd to act like it's for sure Pitt is going to win.

And I wasn't going crazy on anyone, just D4Life.

BTW, did anyone catch Tomlin's post game rant about the Pats? What a clown. He actually sort of validated what Bradshaw said about him.

haha you were going crazy on me? I wish I would have known, just thought we were having a discussion on a varying opinion.

Am I 100% sure Pittsburgh will win? Heck no. I mean, they are going to New England to play Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. But, if there's one team that can win this game it is them IMO. They can run it, they have an elite QB, and they can put pressure on Brady.

How? That's how coaches talk in the locker room.

Dallas scored over 30 points w/Dak. Romo's playoff performances leave something to be desired.

I can't believe anyone would even think that Romo would have been a better option.

Dak had an outstanding game. Not just okay. Not just good. He was exceptional.

I agree with you.

I was just playing off of the way Vers characterized it.

I agree. Dak was exceptional.

Very, very impressive.

Made all the reads. Made all the throws. His most impressive throw was the incompletion to Witten in the end zone. What a professional throw. I think there are maybe one or two guys in the league that either attempt and/or can make that throw. The other one was on the opposing team.

The guy looked poised beyond his years.

man, we don't even know if Romo would've survived the game. it's gotten to the point that if the wind blows too hard, he's getting injured

Pittsburgh will win if they can run the ball. New England will win if guys like Hogan and Lewis play great.

NE will win .. it won't be close ...

We gonna bet on the SeaHags vs Cowboys on the links this weekend ... *LOL* ...

No we don't know if he would have made it through the game or not ... u know what else we know .. THEY LOST ...

Would they have won with Romo .. don't know .. but we do know they LOST with Dak ...

And i said WITH him not BECAUSE of him ...

You know what else we know. Dak played great and acting like the Boys should have put Romo in is downright bewildering.

I don't even know why it's being debated.

Me either.

I can't copy and paste the article because there are too many pics and vids, but this is an educational article written by the best in the business of evaluating QBs.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/greg-c...-174258280.html

I get the feeling many won't take the time to educate themselves, just like they haven't read the articles and watched the tape on the Jimmy G thread, and instead make ridiculous Osweiler comparisons.

But, for those of you interested in educating yourselves, I highly recommend this article. It's not all glowing. It's not all bad. Seems pretty damn objective to me.

Maybe a slight positive tilt, but pretty fair all in all. I was hoping to see his take on the Hyde pick on the WR screen.

I agree with the take that Dak has performed well for a rookie, but that Dallas hasn't asked him to do a ton. He's exceeded expectations, and could be a great one if he continues to develop.

I wish we hadn't asked our QBs to do so much, but at the same time, we don't have the same personnel.

While as players Osweiller and Jimmy G are different, I don't think the comparison is all that ridiculous as far as situation. Both had limited tape in the NFL and were in line for big pay days. Jimmy G may be the better player but he's only started 2 games, and they were played within a well crafted scheme and his opponents didn't have a ton of film on him.

I'd feel a lot better about going after him if we were a dome team. That Towson tape worries me.

He looks like he'd be an improvement over our QBs from that limited sample of NFL highlights/tape, but I wish there was more of it with some cold weather/windy games thrown in.

I do like him as a prospect, but ~$72 Million and a first round pick is a lot to gamble.

Maybe James Harrison will do us a favor for once and give us another glimpse of Garoppolo. He's another of those "ageless wonders" like Brady, and has a pretty crazy regimen of his own. They said he spends 6 figures on his body every season, or something like that during the broadcast.

I think both games will be close. I've got Atlanta vs New England in the super bowl.

I don't think losing the game means you "didnt play well enough to win"

Rodgers just played better.
