    Re: NFL Off Topic

    I would rank Ben and Brees ahead of Luck and Flacco ahead of Romo. Other than that, nothing sticks out to me.

      I think Brees belongs no where near tier 1 and neither does Manning.

        I think there should be more tiers. There needs to be a bit more separation within some of these rankings.

          Manning is only there because of his name...and also look at Brees inside domes and outside of a dome. It's completely opposite of how he plays. So I can agree that he shouldn't be in tier 1 for that reason. Those elite guys should be able to perform greatly in every situation a perfectly sunny day where it is 60 or 70 to a snow storm where it's 20 or 30.

            Derek ****ing Carr. Who did these rankings? There isn't a single QB in tier 3 I'd pick over Teddy. He's firmly in tier 2.

            This isn't anything unexpected though. He's been doubted his whole career.

              Seriously?

              Flacco has a career QB rating of 84.8, Romo's is 97.6. Flacco posted a 91.0 rating in 2014; Romo's was 113.2.

                Not sure how it changes those figures, but career averages do little for me when it's a snapshot of rankings right now. This isn't a list of HOF worthiness, but rather current ability.

                  Well, last season's Dec-Jan Peyton sure as Hell does not. Dude had nothing left in the tank at the end of the year.

                    A simple test for exit from tier 3 is how well a QB played against the Bears last year. Teddy's still firmly in tier 3.

                      OMG I love Patriots fan. Let me preface this, first and I am not looking up exact details. But in an article with SI, Darrelle Revis, said that the Patriots didn't allow his mother into the ring ceremony where all the players got their rings. He was in Disney with his kids. So listening to sports talk radio, and people are calling him disrespectful, it was inappropriate, bad form, etc. that he didn't go and get the ring himself at this ceremony. Also one caller said that it could be against the law for the mother to come and get the ring. Honestly I hate 95% of Patriots fans.

                        But Romo sucks because he's a Cowboy and people hate him and #reasons.

                          How would that be against the law?!? It's his mother picking up HIS ring. What's the big deal? I hope the host gave that caller an earful for his stupidity.

                          I don't see how it's disrespectful if he had a trip planned with his kids and decided to spend time with them instead.

                            Yea I have no idea why she said that. I just find it hilarious, how far Patriots fan will go to defend the team. THIS NEXT THING WAS A JOKE OBVIOUSLY. They brought something about genocide and that fans would say that those people shouldn't have standing there or something to that effect.

                              Yeah genius, because as a Steelers fan I obviously want to exalt Flacco.

                              Stats are nice and Romo has an advantage there. However, Flacco has come up big at big times. More so than Romo.

                              Anyway, these rankings are subjective. Believe what you want.
