laughedatbytime Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Wrong format to paste the chart but here's the link... http://www.nfl.com/qs/bracketology/round1.jsp In the round of 32 Eli Manning leads Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe is ahead of Troy Aikman, according to my facebook feed. So this is something worth taking seriously. Anyway, how would everyone vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I don't really like this kind of thing to be honest, you can't compare guys from different eras. You can look at stats for what they're worth and count Super Bowl rings but that doesn't really prove anything either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack jaw gaze Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I thought I'd check out the ESPN QBR ratings that they came out with a couple years ago with some fanfare. It considers many things including game situation (discounts garbage time stat padding, etc.) If you discount the partial season of Josh McCown last year (and I do), Peyton Manning has 6 of the top 10 QBR seasons (of 8 possible). He's never finished lower than #2 in the league for a season. His one off year was 28th best ever, and better than Tony Romo has ever done. That was also right before his neck surgery, so I would assume it was hindering him during that year. That seems pretty impressive. http://espn.go.com/n.../alltime-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If even 3 of those had been caught he'd be nowhere near this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I really appreciate the guys who are near the top every year. I remember looking up stats on Greg Maddux in the 90s, and his consistency (probably ERA and lack of walks) was so impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look at stats for what they're worth and count Super Bowl rings but that doesn't really prove anything either. So true, without reading up on players from the early eras of the NFL you don't get a complete picture or understanding of what it was like or how extraordinary a player was during a certain time period.Stats do not tell the whole story.
