I might go with Kolb, McCoy, Shaun Hill, Kitna, Dennis Dixon, Grossman off the top of my head.

but did you see the N.E game?


so you weren't impressed with 3 TD's in a game against a team that was just KILLING teams? guess the INT he threw were the receiver quit on his route was his fault too

Wouldn't that be epic?


epic? yes. likely? no

this is going to be the second time that i "root" for the starting QB to be taken out of the game for the backup former LSU QB to be put in.

i forget the year but i think brady's first SB win davey was his backup (3rd string at the beginning of the season i think

Their pass defense finished the season ranked 30th. You're an idiot.

Matt Flynn Super Bowl MVP


Do you remember who played QB in the first half of the Super Bowl on Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?

Because that's the only way it's happening, excluding injury, which no one wants to see.

Yes...3rd worst would equal 30th. Here's a cookie.

I didn't say it was bad. I also didn't say it equated to winning a Super Bowl MVP.

in yards allowed per game. Check out the # of passing attempts made against them. They got ahead of teams very often which caused those teams to give up the run and throw it around. And in turn NE's best move was to back off a little to avoid the big play and give up more yards

Actually...reading the facts. It is pretty bad. That would not be what I would look for if I was an NFL owner.

the INT in the NE game was his fault, it was a terrible pass into coverage even if the receiver did quit on his route (which is overstated).

He played a good game though, for his 1st start. Against Detroit, not so much.

JR was by far the better college QB and that isn't even debatable.

He is capable of doing it. He showed that vs. NE.

Be tough to be MVP on losing team, but I guess it can happen since all are living in dream world....
