I think you'll be glad you did. Chew, since you havn't seen any of it, I think all it will take is just 1 to 3 episodes, and you'll know right away if you're into it. And most likely hooked. Yep, Spader is awesome in the show. Genuine laugh out loud moments, moments of being a badass. That's it, I'm gonna dive in again this weekend.

I won't discount PEDs or even recovery-enhancing drugs. But they probably do take care of themselves better. Plus, the league takes care of them better. Curious to see if there's any rapid diminishing of arm strength as players age. And can they compensate for that loss in arm strength in other ways. 38-40 was the event horizon for QB's. The only one I know of to keep going for any considerable length of time was Vinny Testaverde, and he was awful. Favre played around that age, and was subsequently knocked unconscious. Gannon too, maybe, but you remembering him getting the Joe Black hit too, and leaving. If there is any surefire reason why that is changing, the only thing I can for certain say is that now, you can no longer breathe on them. But it's nothing to take to the bank, not even in terms of training. They may be exceptions to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just watch the first 90 seconds. I didn't realize that Tom Brady was SOOOO bad in the combine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmZofANQu74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm generally opposed to sequels that are released WAY after the original because I can't think of a time that's actually worked. But if the Coens are doing it and John Goodman is back as Walter....I'm gonna try not to get excited. I'm going to try beat that excitement down to a bloody, filthy pulp in the bottom of my soul. EDIT: Oh wait. It's a superbowl commercial. And it's on a Sunday which sucks because Walter SURE AS **** DOESN'T ROLL ON SHABBOS!! Shomer ****ing Shabbos.

The Evil Genius Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Also its not like they all came from the same region. Imagine Brady, Brees, and Big Ben all coming from the same small part of Indiana. That's what we had with Montana, Marino, and Jim Kelly (from Western PA). That **** is spooky.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Roethlisberger to me is the most impressive, considering his carefree playstyle, getting walloped for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 @Riggo-toni you sure Jurgensen was 40 when he won that passing title? Didnt know that but checked, and I dont see anything about a passing tittle in '74 or '73. I see his last Pro Bowl/All Pro season listed as 1969 (which would make him 35-ish, not 40, assuming a passing title earned you both accolades) And I saw this SB nation article, which talks about his last couple seasons. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.catscratchreader.com/platform/amp/2013/2/5/3945948/in-respect-to-the-legends-sonny-jurgensen Quote Two years later the Redskins would hire another hire profile head coach, George Allen (think John Fox before John Fox). Allen, the conservatively natured defensive head coach, did not mesh well with the gunslinging Jurgensen. After incurring a shoulder injury during a preseason exhibition, Jurgensen would lose the starting job to Billy Kilmer. Jurgensen would see sporadic action over the next few seasons before concluding his career after the 1974 season, in which Jurgensen saw four starts as a forty-year old QB. Edit, wait, you said NFC. Doesn't explain the bolded part though. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 From Wikipedia: In 1974, at the age of 40 and in his final season, Jurgensen won his third NFL passing crown even though he was still splitting time with Kilmer.[3] In what would be the final game of his NFL career, Jurgensen made his first and only appearance in an NFL postseason game[dubious – discuss] in the Redskins' 19–10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the 1974 NFC playoffs.[2] He came off the bench in relief of Kilmer and completed six of 12 passes but also threw three interceptions.[2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I thought it was just NFC passing yards, not NFL...I am just going off memory though. Checked, and it wasn't the entire NFL...in fact it looks like his stats weren't that great, BUT...the Skins led the NFL in scoring, which I never imagined for a George Allen team.

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yeah, Jurgensen posted a 92 QBR and started 14 games at 37 years old...with a flask of scotch in his sock. Dude was a ****ing boss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do all my physics in metric, but if you ask how many centimeters tall I am or what temperature in centigrade it feels like outside, I will not give a good answer.
