Did Brett's waffling cost us the Super Bowl?

archie manning might have been as good as peyton. it was an era before parity, and he played on the 'aints.

As annoying as the Mannings are, they are 3 good qbs, with 1 being great. Eli still has time to get there... he's just becoming the person he is IMO

125/175 career TD/INT ratio. I dont give a shit who your teammates are, thats just an inaccurate statement you made there HH. Guy had 3 good seasons. Completed 55% of his passes and avg 6.6/att. I think even Peyton would be pissed about that one and thats his dad.

Man, you fuckers just can't stay on topic.

the issue is how brett's waffling potentially changed the free agent acquisitions and draft.

How many times can this BS be rehashed? This isn't your iPhone discussion. Some people like to change subjects once in a while.

Eli Manning won the SB last year. I see no reason Rodgers can't win one.

You're comparing a family of two of the greatest quarterbacks and one of much higher acclaim and a much better prospect coming out to an A-Rod? Really?

So you think either Archie Manning or Eli Manning are one of the greatest QB's ever? Really?

Well, he could be talking about Cooper.

First, this thread isn't about moss, so don't threadjack.


Bretsky,

YOu honestly think we woulda drafted a QB in the second round?

What about Nelson? Maybe tt takes players that don't need as much development time like Lee

YOu think that Taylor might have been traded for if we had brett?

More cap space because brett retired certainly affects decision making.

Maybe we dont' trade Corey. The team with brett isn't the same team as one with arod.

I honestly don't think that any second round pick is going to make or break a run to the Super Bowl.

[Pacopete4]

It would be uncomfy being Cooper when everyone keeps mentioning his brothers and dad being good at football

Ha...good call. Where did he end up going to school?

MEMPHIS, TN — Cooper Manning, the out-of-the-spotlight older brother of Peyton and Eli Manning, made a rare public statement Friday.

“I’d have four Super Bowl rings by now,” Cooper Manning said. “Maybe five. I mean, how hard can it be to win the Super Bowl?”


on a more sad note:

Cooper was heavily recruited by Division I schools Texas, Virginia and Ole Miss. He enrolled at Ole Miss, but as a freshman in 1992 he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, thus ending his NFL aspirations.

I didn't know that about Cooper. Good find, Paco.

Tyrone, for a smart man, you've got a short-sighted theory.

I think TT would likely have gone for a QB, as I think he didn't expect Brett to come back in 08, and likely not in 09. He drafted Rogers while Favre was active, and it fanned the flames, but I think he was thinking about 2-4 years down the road.

Brohm is not Favre's replacement. Brohm is Rogers' replacement, and Brohm was drafted because we didn't have much behind Rogers. If there's a possibility the first-stringer could be gone during this off-season, and the incumbent the year after, then now's a good time to get someone invested in the system.

I haven't seen much from Thompson that would indicate he thinks about winning overnight. All of Favre's weapons (minus Koren) came from rookies or the draft.

Honestly, I don't think TT wanted to encourage Favre to come back, and had Brett not retired, things wouldn't look a damn bit different.

I am a smart man..smart enough to know that TT wouldn't have used a 2nd on a QB if Arod was going to be the backup. Maybe a QB in a later round, but certainly not a 2nd.

Weapons: you mean like DD, Ahman or Grant, or Donald Lee or Bubba?

That's what make you love him - that classy, endearing manner.
