Oh....it really is JUST a list. :eyeroll: I thought there was gonna be a point made. Haha

They say art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder...the same can be said of lists.

As you cast your eye upon this list, what jumps out at you?

A lot of QBs who are better than our current one. You could just actually state your point instead of playing the internet equivalent of the "I Spy" children's game.

You're overlooking two big factors on your list while touting the lack of rings though. 1. Top picks are almost universally drafted into awful team situations. 2. A lot of these guys are still young and have a lot of football left to play.

I've drawn no conclusions nor am I touting anything. 

It's simply a list that looks interesting and I was curious what others might think about it. 

That said...that your immediate and first written thought was to denigrate Teddy -- is telling.

Calling every race baiter out. Racists are the assholes that preach about it daily. Some of us just like football and like to share our opinions. I'm out for a few days. Cant believe that I come to talk football and the NERD crew turns it all to race. Later bitches!

    • Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over 
    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
