I was kind of upset when reading this. I had an overwhelming nostalgic moment thinking back to some of our rookies fantastic seasons. I mean, how could anyone not remember the best season ever by a quarterback by Cam newton? Luke Kuechly leading the league in tackles? Star Lotulelei havin the best run stop percentage at one point? How about Julius Peppers taking the league by storm? Or even the phenom that is Steve Smith, that contributed right away as a returner.

 

Alas, not even one player made the honorable mentions.

 

(P.S. If you read the comments, beware of Eric Wagner if you don't want to get mad.)

Cam wasn't even an honorable mention.  Lol, Matt Ryan gets an honorable mention for doing nothing but handing the ball off to Michael Turner, and Big Ben for being drafted to a stacked team... but the greatest QB rookie season of all time doesn't get an honorable mention.

 

I expected Dan Marino to be the one to get the QB spot, but it's retarded that Matt Ryan is even mentioned yet Cam isn't.

Toughest competition: Sammy Baugh, Bob Waterfield, Otto Graham, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, Russell Wilson.

 

 

 

lol wut

 

Yeah, a few of those names (Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan) are hilarious indeed. LOL

 

And of course, Big Ben did virtually nothing on a stacked team besides hand the ball off to Bettis (was it him). Lol

All of these lists are made up in someone's head before they are written. You think they did extensive research? It's just rose colored glasses for one idiot reporter. If you are in a bar you might say someone is the best ever at something and completely forget someone even better. Same here.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder.
