BBTV Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I don't think he's an awkward looking guy at all - I think he looks like your prototypical QB, and should be wearing 7, 11, 12, 14, 14, 16, 17, or 18. Maybe even 9 or 8. Just not 2. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Well, at least the Colts could be looking at a Top 5 pick for a QB next year if this is a sign of things to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justpassingby Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Probably nothing, but I found it interesting the Broncos announced the Simmons extension by first showing a hanging color rush jersey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out 1:49. There was a time that he looked like a sure-fire HOF player (unfortunately, a pretty short time.) (have to watch on YouTube - won't play embedded, thanks NFL!)

The goal of anything you do competitively is to be the best. Winning the most games makes you the best. Losing all year just to get hot in January and February has no logical path to an argument that you're the best. If you were judging two businesses, and one did $12M in revenue, spread evenly over every month, while one did $3M in revenue in February, with $1k the rest of the year, would the second be better just because it's February?

Businesses goal is profit, sports goal is the championships and trophies. So you're basically saying that because sports are fundamentally different than everything else, they do not provide any lessons at all that could ever apply to anything else? I think the goal of anything done competitively (business and sports just two examples) is to be the best. That's not apples and oranges. I just don't think winning a championship when you're not the best team by any other measure somehow makes you the best. 3 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: Best regular season record means little when you don’t win when it matters. I don't think regular season record is what matters. The Patriots won 18 games that year, something that has only been 3 times in history. Meanwhile, 55 teams have won the Super Bowl. One is just obviously more impressive. If the Patriots had lost their first playoff game, it wouldn't have been nearly as impressive. 3 hours ago, Sec19Row53 said: Nope.

Nothing else in life compares to putting so much insane importance on the exact same thing depending on month. Like besides the words "Super Bowl", how else could you make an argument the 2007 Giants were better than the 2007 Patriots? The Patriots beat the Giants that year as well. If the only thing that makes them better is that they beat them in a slightly different month, I think you need to rethink your definition of better. And if you agree the Patriots were better than the Giants, what relevance does a trophy have that doesn't signify the best team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold 1 - Yep, because only leagues that televise an sell tickets have a championship game. Bold 2 - I don't. They weren't when it mattered -- in the last game.

So your best argument is that the Super Bowl is important because look, everyone says so. That's a bad argument. And every single pro athlete cares about their contracts above all else - which they get by being the best they can be, not by winning championships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
