You are clearly not as smart as you think you are.
Last to lose...that is also accurate. Not sure I'd want to be in line to be the first to lose. Have another beer and enjoy your evening.
How's that bottle of bottom shelf holding out?
3 tackles. 2 TFL, 1 sack, 1 pass deflection that directly resulted in a INT, and 1 fumble recovery for a TD. 3 QB hits. Constant pressure in the backfield all night and had a hand in 2 turnovers despite frequently being double teamed at the LOS. He’s your DPOY and worth every penny.
And not for very long. Just a scant few hours longer than the usher NFL team. But hey-yinz are proud N’at.
Absolutely. I’ve said for years that Elway is the best QB I’ve ever seen. Mahomes is the first to come along who fits that mold.
I'm not anti-Brady nor am I a Brady fanboy but he can carry a team every bit as well as Mahomes. He won a Super Bowl in his first year with the Bucs. I doubt they would have won without him. I know the rebuttal to that would be he's always had a lot of pieces around him to make him look good. But that same can be said about Mahomes. Would he have had the same success without Hill, Kelce, etc.?
And I'm not sure how "physical tools" play into it. I will say a guy can't play 22 years in the NFL without having "physical tools" of some sort. There is a long list of NFL draft busts who had physical tools but washed out. Mahomes and Brady are both excellent QBs who bring their own unique abilities to the table. Brady has been getting it done at a high level for two decades. Physical tools or not, that's a guy I want leading my team.
I agree that he is the new Ben. That td to kelce while he was running for his life was like Ben 10 years ago.
I bet my friends who are eagles Steelers and rams fans that rams would
Be last team standing…. By at least a day. Lol
Brady is, in part, a product of a system (team and league) that has made it easier than ever to play QB. This is not to diminish his skill at all. Rules changes and modern medicine have made Brady last as long as he has. In addition to being the most coddled of an ultra-coddled position, (let’s face it - he’s never had any reason to fear stepping up in the pocket…if he had played a generation before his time, his career would’ve been over after he busted his knee in ‘08 or ‘09?), he’s had help from an organization that has shown no issues with playing beyond the rule book.
Elway >> Brady and Mahomes is the next Elway.
Yes. Dances too much, poor top end speed, and fails to realize he can’t kick everything outside and beat NFL defenders to the edge. May have worked in college . . .
Well said. Three, maybe four years ago Steve Young explained in an interview that QB’s today must be viewed differently due to the rule changes. He went onto say that QB stats and a players longevity is a direct byproduct of rule changes and not necessarily superior skills.

Respectfully disagree. Second in the league in overall yards this year to Taylor. Everydown back who, behind a good OL, would be the rookie of the year. Some games he was the only offense the Steelers had. Dominated the Cleveland game a few weeks ago with nearly 200 yards. My only fear is the inept OL and offense will force the Steelers to pound him into the ground and his career will be very short. The same fear I had for Saquon….
Harris had 1,200 yards rushing and 467 yards receiving this year with 10 TDs. Not bad for a rookie with a below average OL.
And Young would know…he was one tough QB and among the last of the era under the old rules.
I really enjoy watching the game. I actually took an interest at a very young age 9 (maybe 10). I remember watching Fran Tarkenton, Ken Stabler, Roger Staubach, Bert Jones and of course Terry Bradshaw. These guys played with inferior equipment and a bullseye on their back. By the way, I stood 10 yards or so from Steve Young about 9 years ago and he’s not that tall. I’m 5’ 9” and Steve Young was marginally taller, maybe 6’ and I’m being generous. Now think about the devastating hits he took throughout his career.
As much as I love Harris, This team lost Decastro, Pouncey, and Villanueva and did nothing to address those losses. I think Harris has so much talent, but I sure hope he doesn't turn into another Barkley and he is wasted here behind a bad OL.
The bigger loss was Munchak as OL coach. Those very players you mentioned started a very fast decline when he left and 2 of them are now out of football and Villanueva is a shell of the player he once was. I agree they do need to address those holes on OL. That’s why, if the Iowa Center is available when they pick, I think it is a no brainer that you take him. Move Green to G. He struggled at C. They need a legitimate OT also.
This is what drives me nuts. Harris gets them into 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 2 situations and they stop running him. He's a big, powerful back. The Steelers need to limit the number of Chiefs drives, they need to keep their defense fresh. They need to shorten the game against a superior opponent. Instead the best player on offense isn't used.
Garbage time sack. How many rings is he going to get? ZERO! He is not worth the money and his family is insufferable. He probably will not play in another playoff game for the Steelers.
Benny Snell gets more done with his touches than Najee. Same thing will Ballage. Najee hesitates too much. Ben was right, he needs to run more like Jerome.
How about if they get Aaron Rodgers? That might be favored to win it all!
I think what hurt Ben the worst was the beatings he took throughout his career and especially early. Ben was not always the benefactor of the new rules like Brady or some smaller QBs. Heck, even Cam Newton was allowed to be banged upon more than most QBs in the last decade. A large part of it is their style of play, but you still see others get more "protection" when scrambling or "in the grasp." I think officials felt Ben could break free or shake off hits and make something happen, thus they swallowed their whistles and flags.
That’s the Brady Effect in reverse. Brady is immobile so he gets the breaks on roughing.
I don't understand the "Brady gets breaks but Ben doesn't" theory so maybe someone can explain it to me. The first quote above claims Brady received benefits from new rules which Ben didn't even though Brady has played longer. And it's not like Brady is small. He's 6'4" compared to Ben's 6'5". Maybe Ben has taken more of a beating than Brady but Brady doesn't hold the ball as long thus minimizing his exposure. He (Ben) has been sacked more than any QB in league history since they started tracking the stat. Brady is #2 even though he's played four more seasons.
It’s simple. What is easier to hit, an object that moves or an immobile one? And more to the point, which is likely to be more anticipated by observers (refs), one with a reputation for mobility or immobility?
Good argument until you said Brady sacked second most.
Both played forever in more games is probably the reason for that. Ben took beatings because he was the type of player than ran and hit people. Brady stayed in the pocket and patriots offense relied on quick hitters to welker amendola and then Edelman. They perfected that short pass and that prolonged Brady’s career.
