Bart Starr only started 10 playoff games. Joe Theismann 8 games , Aaron Rodgers only started 9 games his record is 5-4, Drew Brees is 6-5 in the playoffs, Ken Anderson only played in 6 playoff games.  So what does QBR prove when the #2 and #4 guys on that list are only 1 game over .500 and they won 4 or those games in one year.

Not an important stat. There are 22 starters on an offense and defense. It's not the NBA, where there are only 5 starters, and wins are more related to a single player. Brady had Moss/Welker/an

Its hard to say who is the best ever, because stats don't really tell the story (too many rule changes) and I never watched the older guys, but in my mind he is without a doubt the best of his generat

Sure it does. You basically admitted that Aaron Rodgers needs a better team to become the greatest of all time (to win more super bowls). Yet you don't give Peyton credit because he played on less com

Let's see - Peyton Manning has one Super Bowl championship.  Montana & Bradshaw have 4. Brady & Aikman have three.  Seven quarterbacks have 2. If you include NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl era, Bart Starr has five championships.

Just against Tom Brady, he has won 5 and lost 10.

Post season passer ratings say the same thing. From Wikipedia....

Note who isn't in the top 10, Boogielicious...hehe :P


Just shows you how little quarterback rating helps actual winning, doesn't it?   Winning is the only stat that matters.

You also just barely chopped Brady off. He's 12th, with a rating of 87.5. Less than 2 points behind the elder Manning.

No, it just shows you that it's a team sport. And that sometimes a QB can play well and lose, and sometimes they can play poorly and win.

Apparently a difficult concept for some people... :-P

And yet everybody does it with quarterbacks at least to some degree. ;-) Other position players that were never on a Championship (or even a winning) team may get in a Goat discussion but never quarterbacks.

Haven't read the whole thread but after yesterday's game, thought I'd throw in my 2¢. Since Manning is the 2nd best qb of his generation, he can't be the best of all time. Brady owns him which further illustrates Manning's difficulty winning "big" games.

I haven't read the whole thread either and frankly don't think you can really label one QB as the greatest ever.   The game and the rules have changed so much over the years, it is impossible to compare QB's from different eras.    An argument could be made for either Manning or Brady as being the best of their generation and both sides can present enough evidence to support their cause but really, does it matter? The bottom line is we have been fortunate to watch these two guys for a long time and while they are both in the twilight of their careers, they are not only still relevant but still the best two QB's on the field on any given Sunday.   It's a shame we are down to very few more matchups between them..

Team Game.

Who beat who when it counted last year?

Even that argument doesn't hold water.   They are 2-2 in playoff meetings..

Agreed it's a team game but man for man, I don't think there's much question Denver is the stronger team this year and I think Manning has been blessed with more talented teams throughout their careers yet Brady is 11-5 h2h.

Manning has never played for the defenses brady had. And he had never used a video camera either.

The video camera huh... really?

I'm a believer in this conspiracy theory. It's more than karma at work here. Tough deal for me, I like Brady but hate Belichek.

If you are talking 2007 when they went 16-0 in the regular season,

It wasn't dumb luck. The NYG manhandled New England Patriots. They probably could have been hearing the calls on a direct feed and still lost that game :-D

More like Eli owns Brady and the Pats in Super Bowls. :-P

(seriously though, Eli sucks and shouldn't even be mentioned in a greatest QB of all time thread...lol)

Coming into this weekends game, Denver's defense was rated #1 in the AFC.

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.

      Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.

      Yeah, even Jamie doesn't really push (forward) with the right leg here, so I bumped on his use of that phrase/term early as well. They get away from it, though, and when they show the movements it's more obvious that's not what he's talking about. I sometimes wish there was a better term because, as you note, it often leads to people trying to actually "push" with their right leg.
