QB Style


Rhys

Recommended Posts

Let me preface this by saying I realize this is an entirely trivial observation, and should have no real weight when comparing the two QB's BUT...

Does anyone else find it annoying Delhomme has always chosen a dated looking facemask? It addition to the huge goofy t-shirt hanging out the ends of his jersey (which has previously been discussed on the Huddle) the facemask comes off as far less intimidating than it could.

Manning wears the Riddell Revolution. Brees' facemask has three vertical bars over the grill. Moore chooses the facemask with two horizontal bars above the eyes and three across the grill. Those helmets look a hell of a lot cooler and much more intimidating to me.

Again, I know it is completely frivolous matter, I just wondered if anyone has shared my thoughts on the subject in years past.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
