I agree completely. People seem to think that style converts well from college to the nfl, as is shown by picks and the high value given to qbs that do it, but I don't think that this has ever truly been established. All of the best QBs that do this style start out amazing, but they quickly become brain damaged cripples. It'll be interesting to see if one breaks the mold by staying in the pocket and then using those skills to only scramble when necessary, but seeing QBs run and get nailed like RG3 in the knee seems like such a waste. I hate vick personally, but can you blame him for getting so horrible so fast with all the crushing hits he's taken? I called him out as being the most overrated QB at the season start, and I didn't even feel the slightest bit worried when they won those first few games. RB qbs can be good if you need to fix your qb position now to win now (Imagine the 49ers with rg3), but they aren't a long term solution.
I think we're seeing a shift to that type of quarterback. You have to remember that Luck ran as fast at the Combine as Newton did. The option hasn't been established in the NFL because there weren't any quarterbacks athletic enough to run it. There are at least 4 now.

Baltimore - Cinci is like a mini bye for both teams. Absolutely nothing to play starters for. Shit's going to look like a preseason game.

Oh and....

Ok and they made it the past 300 seasons in a row and still almost made it despite not having Rothlesberger a couple of games. I'm not even a Steelers fan these Sports meme's are just dumb though

I wonder when NFL teams are finally going to admit that QB height is something that should barely even be considered. There's hardly any advantage that a 6'4" QB has over a 6' QB. Neither can see over the top of their lineman, most NFL Offensive lineman are in the 6'3 - 6'8" range nowadays + wearing a helmet on top of that to add another inch or two of height. There no QB in the league that can see over the top of his entire O-line. Height also barely matters for getting balls knocked down/tipped by the d-line, all of those guys are 6' +, and with an arm up, add another 2 feet or so. They're just as likely to knock down a pass from a short QB as a tall one with their hands sticking up over 8 feet in the air.

QB height should be looked at, but only if ALL other things are equal when trying to choose between two QBs. I'd consider arm strength, accuracy, mobility, leadership/intelligence, and a host of other tangibles and intangibles before height.
It's not the most important stat but it is definitely something that needs to be considered. Height 100% matters for balls being knocked down and he may not be able to see over the whole o-line every play but can definitely see better over it if he has an extra 6 inches.

Someone give this person +1's. Far too obvious of a troll.

Mike Vick starting for Philadelphia in Week 17...Foles out with a broken hand. I bet he has a monster game, it's a golden opportunity to audition for Arizona or whoever else makes a move there when the Eagles release him. Hopefully they will eliminate the Giants before the John Mara Salary Cap Penalty Bowl even kicks off on Sunday night.

Yeah, that game had potential to be pretty exciting and then you guys had to fuck it up by beating the Giants. I wonder what the teams will do in this situation. It has zero consequences. Could be a Tyrod Taylor/Bruce Gradkowski battle!
Only thing for us is how far down our depth chart we are already, especially on D. Are we allowed to just inactivate everyone and put the entire practice squad on the field?

Ha, I missed that. Good Easter egg=P

Hate post continues, even though I got a scathing neg from Ubber Ubberist for the first one. Now I hope after Wake spikes Tom Brady's baby that Uber slips in the viscera and ends up a double retard.

I hope San Diego beats Oakland 87-0, because the most hateful thing I can imagine wishing on anyone is another year of Norval and Philip Rivers shitting on the entire SD fanbase's hearts. Fuck your sunshine and hot bitches, Adam.

I hope that after Larry Fitzgerald gets hung out to dry for the 5th time he goes apeshit and beats whatever hobo the Cards have dragged off the street to throw him the ball to death. Then while SF is running up the score Kaeperdick gets superAIDS from the hobo blood, because he'll pass it on to Alex Smith when he fucks him again that night and that fuckhead fanbase will have zero QB's. Fucking Pats Fans 2.0 up in here, crazy how the team has a couple good seasons and suddenly half the people here are from fucking Lombard street all of the sudden. Eat a gorilla dick.

I hope Sam Bradford stays healthy and gets all 4047309million dollars of his contract. And I hope the CenturyLink field(seriously?) stands collapse and kill all the retarded 12th men. Though I'm cool with the team being healthy, hopefully one of the DB's will roid rage in the playoffs and tap dance on Frank Gore's knee.


I hope Minnesota doesn't even suit up anyone but the center and AP and they just direct snap to him 70 times and he runs for 1300 yards and steps on Clay Matthew's steroid shriveled scrotum and pops it like a zit. But that's the only injury I want him to directly inflict. I want Aaron Rogers to blow out both rotator cuffs doing some faggoty douchebag celebration. And the rest of the Packers die to a locker room gas leak except Rogers himself, who takes his own life in despair.

I want Brady Quinn to drop 60 on Denver after the Broncos receivers drop 20 passes and in the middle of one of Peypey's red-faced fetusheaded tirades his neck just blows out like a fuckin' pinata. After the game they'll find the KKK Grand Wizard uniform in his locker and finally understand why he refuses to throw to more than one black dude per season.

And finally, Demarcus Ware gets a 35 yard head start and Golberg spears his way entirely through RG3s torso, as RG3 scores the game winning TD to knock Dallas out of playoff contention. This causes Shanahan to finally rage so hard he finishes his inevitable transition in to an actual eggplant, followed by an obscure rule eliminating the Redskins from the playoffs because all vegetable wins must be vacated. Pete Rozelle fucking hated salad. Also Tony Romo gets deported, Jerry Jones becomes immortal and signs Garrett to a lifetime contract, Miles Austin dies in a fight with Sigourny Weaver in an exosuit, Jason Witten's spleen finally finishes rupturing after he overestimates his ability to take dicks and Dez fucks him to death, also Dez finishes murdering his mother and goes to jail. Also Elurin eats some bad shrimp or something and gets the shits real bad for awhile.

Oh shit, I forgot a game. The lake in Cleveland catches on fire and finally burns that cesspool to ashes once and for all. The Ben gets chemically castrated. Mendenhall passes his Al Qaeda initiation and moves to Afghanistan where he's immediately killed by Seal Team Six. Mike Wallace stops being a cunt. Brandon Weeden breaks both hips getting out of the shower.

After the Redskins get eliminated BTW the Bears have to fill in, Catler Cats his way to a SB victory over NE on a last second clutch touchdown to Michael Bush. Gisele, having recovered from the Cameron Wake punch, blames the loss on Wes Welker.

edit: It's a shame really, if Brady played he'd save the game with his elite tackling skills.

I can't wait for Pittsburgh to come up to Gillette and get destroyed....
You're going to have to wait a bit on that one...

I do believe last time Pittsburgh went there it was a 33-10 Steelers win though.

edit: As for the Ravens, I started typing it up for last night's game then deleted it because it was almost over.

Ummm, hope both teams play their starters because both coaches are fucking retards. The Ravens will sign Kimo Von Oelhoffen to a 1 day contract and he will Palmerize Andy Dalton's knee. The families of the 2 guys Ray Lewis helped murder will storm the field with knives and put an end to that piece of shit in suitably ironic fashion. Joe Flacco stays healthy and signs a Jason Garrett like lifetime contract. When Ray Rice gets his second carry(2:36 left in the 4th) a pair of masked men storm the field and bludgeon him about the head and neck until he stops moving. The pull off their masks and it's Johnny Unitas and Marion Motley, because you stolen ratbird fucks aren't the REAL Baltimore team. Also BenJarvis Green-Ellis will gay marry Antonio Rodger-Cromarties and become BenJarvis Green-Ellis-Rodgers-Cromartie, the weight of all the letters on the back of his jersey will cause both knees to collapse and his femurs to end up in his shins.

And Geno Atkins will join the Steelers.

"Palmerize". That's great.

I bet Sunday will be business as usual. We've entered Week 17 before when it didn't matter and got blown out (37-3 against KC in 2005 and 37-0 against the Jets in 2009). We then went into playoffs looking sloppy and defeated. Bengals will be going for a win against the Ravens.
