I've got a better one. Here are quarterbacks who have turned in a Top 100 performance, or a mere 67 rating, in my QBA metric for the 2012 season:

Peyton: 9 games

Russell Wilson: 7 games

RG3: 6 games, including the top rated performance of 89

Cam: 5 games

Ryan Tannehill: 3 games

Ryan Fitzpatrick: 2 games

Brandon Weeden: 1 game

Kevin Kolb: 1 game

Andrew Luck: nil

Brady: 6 games, Rodgers: 4 games

I wasn't going to go through the whole list to prove a point

Well, what game caused Weeden to be in the top 100? Also, how do you measure your QB rankings?

IMO, Lucks better games is better than Weedens better games

QBA methodology is here: http://50.116.44.142/qba/about/

And Weeden's single top 100 score was 70% completion percentage, 322 yards, 2 TDs and no turnovers. Luck just missed barely out on a top 100 score with his week 2 performance at Minnesota and his performance at the Dolphins, being hurt on both occasions by his lower completion percentage, and in the second game for not turning 433 yards into more offense than two scores and for also fumbling.

Most of us know that Luck has been hyped for 2 yrs as the second coming of God Himself. He is the son of the greatest Pro Football Hall of Fame Snub ever!!!! Oliver Luck

While he might be better than dear ol' dad. I am not ready to start his HOF mold just yet. He had an extremely soft schedule and won 2 games against Quality opponents. Minnesota and Green Bay (Green Bay was abysmal when they played) Houston had nothing to play for in week 17. All of them were at home. 54 % completion with over 600 attempts. Sack 41 times.. and on and on.

Luck lived on the ESPN hype mobile all season long. Had RGIII or Wilson not come along his pedestrian numbers would have won him ROY just because no one wants to admit they were wrong.

Luck may have a great Career but as a rookie he was OK. Definitely not ROY worthy.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
