NFL Week 11

I thought I made it clear, I DONT LIKE HIM! :D No matter how much you tell me I ain't gonna give him any credit for anything he's done. Him and the Mannings are QBs I can't stand. Oh what can I say, ole "ironman" is having a great season isn't he? I'll hush up now before more of the packer fans start to hate me.

Eli... I can take or leave. He is not compelling to watch like Vick or Peyton. When he is on, I dig him. More often than not, he is boring to watch. Plus, he was a Rebel. All Rebs are sworn enemies of Bulldogs.

Peyton... slow your roll son. Between audibles, play changes, fake-play changes, fake signs, and the no-huddle; he is a lot of fun to watch. I imagine it makes it even harder for the D to read the play before it happens. He may not have the run or explosive play making of Mexico, but he is just as exciting to watch.

Now I do like some Mike Vic!

There are plenty of quarterbacks on the books with more starts than Brett Favre. Just not consecutive ones. Do you hate on Marino's accomplishments because he played for 17 years? Or Elway's since he stuck around for a good while?

I am not hating on anyone, just throwing my thoughts into the situation.

Easy killer, it's a hypothetical thing. Realize that your chain is merely being yanked by my fellow Mississippian and lighten up. :D

I apologize for talking about your messiah. May he play another ten years and be buried in a coffin of cheese when he passes on to Lambardi's great team in the sky.

God! That one there killed me! Abark you have just made my afternoon peachy!

I take full responsiblity for any yanking of said chain round here.

I guess you have to be a Packers fan to defend Brett Favre. In ten years, I might be defending Brady in this exact manner, even though I hate the guy.

Seriously, guys - I'm not trying to be hostile, but objectivity is a good thing every now and then.

Whereas, I think Brady is merely a good (albeit with a good mind for the game) quarterback with an amazing O line. I share this feeling about USC's Matt Leinart. Not legendary or extremely talented. Regardless, he will and he deserves to be inducted to the Hall of Fame.

Before anyone flies off the handle with my comments, realize they are merely my opinion. I have no facts, data, personal accounts, eye-witnesses, bloody gloves that don't fit, or DNA evidence to prove it. Nor will I waste the time gathering said data in my defense.

I share your opinion of Brady, pretty much. He actually has been showing better velocity on his throws lately though, and he's starting to toss a pretty nice deep ball. Like you said though, it's his mind for the game that is his best asset - much to my frustration.

I did clearly watch the damn game, though I was about 9 at the time. Your not from here so you don't even have a clue. Your hero Favre was talking trash on MS radio those few weeks before the superbowl about how he was gonna make the broncos cry. yeah he sure did

But back to "Ironman" , a real Ironman , he does quite a few interviews on local radio and shows himself to be a real ass. A genuine redneck . Talks about spitting, dipping and fart jokes. A real ironman type. His small amount of talent is overshadowed by his moronic mouth.

Way to ignore the point of the post you answered. You can "hate" whoever you want. It doesn't mean Horseface Elway did anything special in Superbowl 32. He didn't. The Broncos offensive line and Terrel Davis won that one. As far as Favre having a small amount of talent, the stats speak for themselves.
As far as being an ironman, he has more than doubled the consecutive starts record. I'd say that qualifies. You reveal yourself to be the WORST kind of football fan. A blatant homer who completely ignores reality and runs his mouth with no basis other than his own homerism.

Oh..and also, I'm in no way a Colts fan, but your Broncos can't sniff their jocks.

I already tried these arguments and basically got accused of flying off the handle. Hopefully you have better luck than I did, Cheeze.

As for me, I have to do a little bit of reading before the game.

How do you expect to be taken seriously by anyone in a football discussion when you talk like that? You're making yourself look like a child.

Alright...I see what you mean. I apologize if I offended some of you(Even Cheezewiz) or whatever. Ill just go through and get rid of those posts.Though I still don't see why he got so pissed off over football. Don't judge me on this thread, I just get real obnoxious when I get competitive.

No football fan is going to say that Favre or Manning is not a good quarterback. Whether you're a fan or not is a different story. But don't start discussions by saying that two future first ballot hall of famers aren't any good and you're not going to give them credit for their accomplishments. It gets things started on the wrong foot, ya know?

I think that's what I was trying to get at, only you said it better.

All that said, no hard feelings, eh, page? I'm sure Cheeze would be willing to bury the hatchet with you as well.

LOL..whats wrong pagey? Don't like being called on your blatant homerism? The difference between your posts and mine are mine were backed up with facts. Once you grow up, you may realize you should probably have a grasp of a few before you start shooting off your hole. Don't bother PMing again either sonny. :spit:

And God bless you too. If you can dish it out, you should be able to take it, regardless of age. If you can't take it, then don't open your mouth in the first place...again, regardless of age.
