Nothing else to talk about..lol

The Hall of Famer said that he celebrated his 50th birthday by testing out his jets. If he's to be believed, it appears as though the afterburners still work just fine.

"Quick update from the Birthday Boy," he wrote on his Twitter page. "I think today I became the fastest 50 year old in the world! @9AM today, I celebrated my 50th BDay ... by running the 40 yard dash in Orlando, Florida in a time of 4.43!

Please do understand that it is not me thats great, but the Holy God of the universe that has blessed me!" he wrote on his Twitter page. "I can do ALL things through Him."

Actually its Rod Woodson but the former Redskin fan in me will always think of Green.

Come on, man. I was a Steelers guy (a Woodson guy), and I was not particularly fond of Sanders, but after watching the man talk the talk and walk the walk---shutting down the likes of Jerry Rice---I have to give him his due.

If QBs dared throw his way, he was an every play threat to take it to the house.

Green would definitely be in my top 5, as well as Woodson.

If what Green says is true, he would dust Sanders right now. Sanders looked kind of Stupid on his reality show, riding around the house on his little motorized scooter. He has a hot wife, though.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
