[QUOTE=mooby;1191014]I accept your argument. Please support your thesis with multiple examples, i.e. don't point to Brady (aka the GOAT) and use him as the sole example of modern trends supporting your argument.[/QUOTE]Drew Brees is 39. Favre was beat to hell and played till how old? Philip rivers, and Eli are 36 or 37 and will go a few more years.
Same with big Ben.

Are they all putting up the same or better stats they were 5 years ago?

[quote=skinsfan69;1190947]George was one of the most physically gifted throwers in NFL history. Put his arm talent up against anyone who's ever played the position. His release was every bit as good as Marino's, if not better. Where George failed miserably was from the neck up.[/quote]

Had to reply to this. +10 ^^^^^

George had the absolute strongest arm EVER in the NFL, even in today's era where you had guys that had crazy arms like Jamarcus, Matt Stafford, Cutler, etc..

There's no shortage of players to tell you how hard Jeff George threw the ball, it was like an absolute rifle. And his arm strength never dipped with age, go check out the youtube video of his open workout from around 2010 or so. I think by that time George was about 40 and was still throwing 65 & 70 yard deep passes and making it look easy.

But as you said - if only he had the million dollar brain to go along with his arm. He would have been the best of all time, no question about it with his arm ability.

Wait I'm not understanding here are we looking at "stats"or QB's that can win big games when it counts.

Define big games when it counts? Eli Manning is a great example, a two time SB winner who has had plenty of clutch games and moments (including twice on the biggest stage) yet has wasted his last 6 years because the team surrounded him with subpar talent.

Exactly my point ,so why should the stats matter as much,I thought Championships ...Super Bowls are what matter? Rivers is a great example plenty of stats but no Super Bowl,think he would trade ,I do.

Rivers and Ben are better today

As is Brees but as someone else pointed out look at the talent they get to work with.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

Part of the discussion, if this is still referencing AS's age is that his contract and extension is team friendly enough to let us put pieces around him and on the defense. There is no reason, with our oline, that he shouldn't stay healthy for the next 4-5 years barring a freak injury or wild hit.

I’d take both of them a few years ago vs now, they’re still good but past peak

I know you guys are ready to stop talking about KC and wait for 31 qb's to outperform him in 2018, but I for one am excited to peruse his post-signing press conference to see if there's any hidden barbs about the Redskins in it. IE "I'm glad to be in a place that wants me" or etc.[/quote]

Gotta get Theismann in the Monday Night booth to drop lines like these...Did anybody stop to Michael Scott the line after he drop this gem?

Yeah until he played a prime time game or until Redskins really needed a win to stay alive. Or even worse when they played a cruical division game especially when they played Dallas.

Kirk was great in the first 3 Qtrs, then the 4th came. Other than that Tampa game which was against a bad team, he didn't rally us from behind much. The ATL OT game was bad, all of those Giants games were bad.. And yes u made the best point of them all DALLAS, he couldn't beat them.. (JAY AS WELL). When I saw Kirk's overall record against the Giants and Boys I was ok with moving on.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

As we know we owned prime time before Kirk, thankfully we can get back to that now that he’s gone. We should also dominate the division again.
