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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
