Funked
I used to think you where just a narrow minded fox sports fan.
Now I know that you are some kind of extemist fanatic QB hater.
Do you realize how boring the game of football would be if now one threw the ball!
Or they could only lateral it...
The whole game would look rediculous. They might as well take the pads off....
What happend..did the QB get your girl in highschool?

Best quarterback Ever? hardly, granted, he's a great one, but he wouldn't have done **squat** without the rest of his team. He had the best support for his talents, and that is all. For example: Dan Marino, another "Great" quarterback, but he was hampered by never having the team to support him. Just look at the records, Dan holds more than Joe by far (I may be biased, I'm from California and have always loathed the Fairy-Niners

)

You can say that about any player in team sports. The Niners did have great defenses to go along with the offenses of the 80's and 90's. No doubt about it

Bottom line??? Joe Montana took Al Davis' advice to heart. "Just Win Baby". And Montana did just that. No less judges of football talent than John Madden and Sid Gillman agree that Montana was the best ever.

The only QB whom i put in the same class as Montana was the great Sammy Baugh.

Pongo, you're right that football would be boring without QB's. But linemen and defense are what wins football games. If you don't have that stuff in place, the QB is gonna have a long and painful day every Sunday. And if you have that stuff in place, there are a lot of mediocre QB's that suddenly become stars. Even Steve Young and Joe Montana paid the price when the Niners had bad years in these areas.

No the QB didn't get my girl, I just spent a few years chasing them around. My line coach kind of instilled a hatred for them. Listen to Deacon Jones talk about QB's sometime if you want to know where I'm coming from.

Also the changes in NFL rules in the last few years to favor QB's are ridiculous. I'm talking about how they've twice changed the pass interference rules and made several rule changes putting silly restrictions on when, where, and how QB's can be hit. QB's used to have to play football like everybody else. Now they play some variation of two-hand touch while the other 21 guys are playing FOOTBALL.

Who brought up Dan Marino? LOL! Dan Marino was a selfish, one-dimensional, immobile, stat-potato.

CFL our Balls are Bigger!

WWF?

Isn't that where corruption rules, the results are fixed, and nobody knows who the real champion is?

Sounds like college ball to me...

My bad funked, I meant the upcoming XFL is like WWF.

And the NFL is like Saturday Night Live, especially with monday night fotballs new *host*.

I live in "The Pro Football Hall of Fame City". It is a HUGE event for us here. I am glad that your favorite players were inducted recently.

But, I have to tell you that the highlight of this years celebration, were the 110 or so living member inductees of pro football that attended. This was the first time that that was done. What a sight!!! What a group of great players.....all the best of their era!! That is the part of this years Hall of Fame festivities that was purely a celebration of FOOTBALL!

Congratulations to those that were unducted this year and a hefty salute to those past inductees. Whew! What a sight!!

The only downfall to this years festivities was the debate about the invitation extended to O.J. Simpson. Yes, he is a member of the Hall of Fame, and you know the rest. By the way, he was invited, and no, he did not attend.

I am not looking to start a debate over this, nor am I posting my opinion on it. (the OJ thing)

I am just expressing the fact that seeing all those GREAT people that MADE the game of football in one place at one time was, well, rather kind of emotional

I hope you all enjoy your favorite teams and players this season! And good luck!

As a history nut, again, what a sight it was in Canton, Ohio, seeing a living history of football walk around and enjoying the many festivities surrounding our celebration of Pro Football.

A special Thank You to those that attended, both inductees, and celebrants!!
What a PARTY!! hehe
