Around the NFL-Week 1

Peyton has TWO games with 6 TD passes too. G.O.A.T.

7 TD passes in single game:

Y.A. Tittle
Joe Kapp
George Blanda
Sid Luckman
Adrian Burk


Only one I've never heard of was Kapp. TWO of those 7 TD games were against the Skins. :doh:

I happened to be reading a Joe Kapp article a couple of days ago. It was really about the Vikings and how they were poised to be the next great team (it was written in 1969) and a big reason was the defense and QB Joe Kapp.

Anyhow, interesting side note on Kapp. He was drafted by the Redskins....in the 18th round (of course, fewer teams back then). He went to the CFL instead

Adrian Burk doesn't ring a bell

Peter King ‏@SI_PeterKing 5m
Last night: 14 kickoffs, 0 returns. And 104 passes (2012 ave per game: 69.4 passes). Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos were scary good against Baltimore Ravens | The MMQB with Peter King (http://mmqb.si.com/2013/09/06/manning-in-full/)

Denver is stacked with weapons on offense.

Thanks for the breaking news.

The only one I didn't recognize was Burk. The rest I could even tell you a little about their careers. I thought them all pretty famous in their day.

So I looked up Burk - couple cool tidbits from his life after football: He became an NFL referee/official and (1) worked the game in which Kapp tied his record; and (2) was the back judge on the famous Immaculate Reception and was the official to initially signal it a TD.

Wonder how long he's gonna hold out as a QB before trying something else.

Wow, what a moron. :doh:

I Love Tebow's character but he is done as a QB at the NFL level in my mind. If it was 1942, he would be a star, but in this day and age in the NFL, you have to throw for 60% or better completion as a QB to have success, and he can't do that. Call it mechanics, or reading a Defense or whatever you want. Call him Joe Schmoo or Tim Tebow but his career completion percentage according to profootballreference.com is 47.9%. That is waaaay below average and won't keep you on any team.
