Those are the exact words John Sculley used when firing Steve Jobs from Apple.

You're going to see, once people realize that QB teaching resources are being wasted, everything is going to change


I don't know how many examples we have because of the immense pressure to play high pick rookies.Aaron Rodgers is the obvious one, there's Tyrod, and Tony Romo.

Oh boy, every team finishing 8-8.


A good, well-supported minor league system is how most problems in play quality is cured.

Having a minor league system for a sport where guys only really have a limited number of hits their body can take and where the average career length is 2.5 years doesn't really make much sense.

Why? Does Matt Ryan suck? Or did I rate him too low for you? So far I've been called out on Ryan and Carson Palmer, neither of which invalidates my argument, btw, and their lifetime stats seem to generally bear out my rankings.

If we want to argue the difference between a "B" and an "A", I suppose we could but I'm not sure how it effects the overall point I made, which is that there's not really a "quarterback competency crisis" in the NFL at all.

Carson Palmer and Matt Ryan are both perfectly good, solid NFL QB's, neither of which I think are going to the Hall of Fame or anything

Putting Rivers and Romo with Luck, Ryan, Stafford, and Flacco is kinda funny

Best QB season wasted on a fuckface organization?

code:
Year	Age	Tm	Pos	No.	G	GS		Cmp	Att	Cmp%	Yds	TD	TD%	Int	Int%	Lng	Y/A	AY/A	Y/C	Y/G	Rate		
2011	31	DAL	QB	9	16	16		346	522	66.3	4184	31	5.9	10	1.9	77	8.0	8.3	12.1	261.5	102.5
How the gently caress did the 2011 Cowboys go 8-8 with that level of QB play? :wtc:

2010 Rivers is near identical to that. Truly Rivers and Romo are linked

Why is Aaron Rodgers at the top, when he can't get anything done with Nelson/Cobb, while Rivers is passing for 70% and no INTs with basically just Travis Benjamin

I've always been amazed at Rivers' ability to get 100 yard receiving performances out of guys like Eddie Royal, Legedu Naanee, Seyi Ajirotutu, etc
