That's what happens when people skip Warpath OTAs. See, they are supposed to be voluntary, but there are some consequences for missing them. LOL.

Uh, Brady's first SB winning team was pretty run of the mill, and not all that much better in the first round of the playoffs. I think, moreover, there have been plenty of near-miss super bowl stories from not-so-great teams, like Marino, as you mentioned, but also Warner this year, the 2003 Panthers, the 1985 and 1996 Patriots as well.

I guess the Raiders of 1980 would probably be called the "worst" super bowl winner of all time, but Jim Plunkett isn't exactly on the verge of Canton. Anyway, looks like your big picture point holds. Downright sucky teams don't win the SB.

Define good, because they played very well and were coached well. That is a good team. If you are talking talent, sure I agree.

There's probably something to Cowher and Martz getting outcoached in the playoffs there. By run of the mill, I mean "fringe playoff team for most of the regular season."

Of course, you win your division, you get to the playoffs, but I don't think that if it happened a year later (after the divisional reorganization) that they would have had a bye in the playoffs, and without that bye week, there's more or less zero chance of that team coming out of the AFC.

What they started, of course, was the launching pad of more than a couple hall of fame careers, and the very genesis of one of the best 5 year runs in NFL history under Brady, but I think that team was more in the right place at the right time than anything else.

Though I want to extend full credit for playing THE perfect game against the Rams, much like the Giants played THE perfect game against the Pats 6 years later.

While I hope that the Cowpatties do not make the playoffs, it will be sweet if/when they set that record for futility.

What you say is true.
But they still are the top team in playoff history at:

Total Wins (32)
Most consecutive seasons in the playoffs (9)
Most games (56)
Most seasons in the playoffs (29)

Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose.

Name those 15 my man because I say he is a top 7 QB in the league.

1.Brady
2. Manning
3. Brees
4. Rivers
5. Mcnabb
6. BIG BEN
7. ROMO
8. WARNER
9. E.MANNING
10. CUTLER[/quote]

You are letting regular season stats skew your ratings. I am not talking about a fantasy league, I am talking about a playoff game. Read what you are responding to.

In no particular order...

Brady
P Manning
E Manning
Big Ben
K Warner
J Delhomme
D McNabb
B Favre
P Rivers
C Pennington
J Garcia
Carson Palmer
M Hasselbeck
David Garrard
Drew Brees
Kerry Collins
Joe Flacco

Every one of these guys have proved that they won't throw up all over themselves every time it is a game that counts. All Romo has done is proven that he will find ways to lose. He would probably have a few wins by now if he had just managed a couple of games or held on to a field goal snap.

Id put Superbowl Winners Warner and Eli Manning easily over Romo. Romo and Cutler look better next to one another 9 and 10.

No ,not really.NFL has been around along time,count the the teams and game since it started in 1927,not just since the super bowl was formed.

Yes and no. By doing that you discount half the league. The NFL did not REALLY come into being until the merger.

saden1 · 07-13-2009, 12:20 PM

Jacobs done won a super bowl, Romo never won a playoff game. This means Jacobs 1, Romo 0.

So , do you mean we start over every time a new team comes in?The NFL has been around since 1927...teams have come and gone but the league started in 1927 and that is when the records started. So ...ahhhhhhh no.

Don't over think it. By simply recognizing NFL Championships and disregarding AFL Championships, 10 AFL teams are neglected from the discussion.

Brady for sure
P Manning for sure
E Manning maybe
Big Ben yes
K Warner yes
J Delhomme maybe
D McNabb yes
B Favre NO.....older version of Romo
P Rivers yes
C Pennington NO.....choker
J Garcia hmmm...maybe
Carson Palmer maybe
M Hasselbeck maybe
David Garrard NO......your reaching now
Drew Brees for sure
Kerry Collins hmmm...maybe
Joe Flacco ROFL...NO...maybe in a year or two

And we are only talking about ONE game, otherwise Romo would have to move higher. I hate Dallas as much as anyone, and I still say Romo is overrated. But when you make the list, he has to make the top 15. Id put him somewhere around 10, but talking heads like to put him up there with Brady/Manning. This whole list might look alot different following the 2009-10 season.

BTW....Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Matt Cassel, Jay Cutler.
