Flacco and Roethlisberger


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I hate when players aren't being "team guys". This is a business. Just shut your mouth and do you job. Let your play do the talking. If someone else beats you out then it's time to take a lesser role, go to another team, or just retire.

ben's been talking about retiring for a couple years and then he starts whining about them drafting a QB? lol

dude's a less talented bret favre.

That's my problem with it, you say you don't know if you want to keep playing, then when the team gets themselves ready for the future just in case you get upset. 

If he woke up tomorrow and retired without the team drafting young options in back to back years they'd be fuged

The guy's 36. If he can't stand having a potential replacement on the team at this point then he's living in fantasy land.

I never really thought Flacco was that great, to be honest.

Yeah, he has a Super Bowl ring. So does Trent Dilfer, with the same team.

Flacco was great during their Super Bowl run, but were it not for the failure of the Denver secondary on the hail mary, he'd have never been paid. (to the extent he was)

Bens always been a no good big mouth rapist. Can't expect him to suddenly act any differently. 

Rudolph is a kid who's gone on mission trips and done relief work.

So yeah, I wouldn't really want Roethlisberger mentoring him either.

To be worth what he's been paid, he'd have to be practically legendary over the last few years of his contract.

Trent is a good example of this, but no one mentions Brad Johnson winning a SB. That year the Bucs played their scout team basically bc Gruden knew every play that was being called. Heck, Clausen could have won that year.

Johnson is a valid comparison.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
