yeah yeah i know he's been in different systems over the course of his career. interesting though how rookies like flacco and matt ryan lead their teams to the playoffs.

Flacco was not asked to do a damn thing last year. And I think Baltimore's d-fense had a lot to do with them making the play offs.

Excellent point, and 100% correct. There's a huge difference between Matt Ryan -- the first rookie quarterback to make a significant impact in recent memory, and Joe Flacco, who could have been ANYONE last year.

Flacco might very well improve. But age of the prospect aside, if you are given one quarterback between Flacco and Campbell to win over the next five years, Campbell is the proven one.

Ryan is a different story. He's unproven from a experience standpoint, but he was legitimately great last year.

Blah blah blah.

I loved when Doug Williams had the cover in '88.

Lots of Skins have had the cover and didn't become Ryan Leaf or OJ Simpson.

Dexter Manley's in '87 with a closeup of his face in helmet, with the words "GET OUTTA MY WAY!" was one of the best.

Read the article at the barber shop yesterday while waiting for some picky metrosexual guy to get his sideburns adjusted "just right" for about 10 minutes. Good read.

Great to see players from my two favorite teams on the cover on consecutive weeks. Buehrle and Campbell.

Good job, SkinDogg!

Oh, I still hate the cover of SI.

DBUCHANON101, did you arrange this by any chance? LOL.

There is nothing to the SI jinx. It is a silly superstition.

On the other hand, appearing on the Madden cover is the kiss of death.

Great picture. Is that the footwork Zorn has been working so hard on?

JC needs to move on and stop talking about the off season. Get over it already.

"Hey Jason, can we get you to interview for a story that will headline our training camp coverage this year."

"Nah, I'd rather just hide under a blanket until I have games to play. Thanks for the offer."

Does JC really need to say he feels like a piece of toilet paper? Joe Gibbs a few weeks ago was on the radio and said NFL QB's are going to have to go through some shit. And if you can't deal with it then it's not the job for you. You need to have some thick skin. I think JC needs to listen to Gibbs and not worry about it anymore. Instead he keeps bringing it up. Like I said, get over it already. If you play better Snyder will reward him.

The whole quote begins with "I'm fine now". Read the whole article before spewing dumb crap and wasting everyone's time. Also, I doubt other QBs who were on the trading block or lost their starting job didn't at least feel similarly to how Jason did, justified or not.
