RGIII time in Baltimore. 3rd string QB Trace McSorley a rookie from Penn State might see some action too.

Was several years since the Ravens carried 3 QBs on the roster but McSorley deserved his roster spot with a good pre-season

Very little to set the pulse racing apart from 9ers at Seattle. It's a pity there's so little at stake.

BonnieSituation

But that's gonna be something. Last game between them was a classic.

Maybe it's my anti-Dolphins bias as a Jets fan but Marino making the NFL 100 team is just wrong. Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are much better QB's that are currently playing. Marino should have been nowhere near that top 10. Seriously no Joe Namath, who was on the panel?

I know this is not actual week 17 discussion but it just happened and I didn't see an NFL100 thread.

I would have thought Marino features in far more conversations about GOAT quarterbacks than Namath.

Bradshaw is also a surprising omission, four Superbowl wins and 2 of those as MVP. They only have so many spots I guess.

The whole thing seemed like a complete shambles, like every NFL voted list. They make a mess on an annual basis for the pro bowl, when they only have to look at a few weeks so they're never getting a 100 year list right.

Spent more time thinking about these than any other week. So many games you have to factor which team has something to play for, and if they don't, which team is fielding fully. Example: going for the Bears because the Vikings are resting the whole team because they've nothing to gain (technically neither do the Bears but a .500 season would sure feel a lot better than a losing one if you're in that building). Pretty sure that holds true in a lot of these games. Shame there's so little at stake this week alright, very unusual end to the season.

I saw the Manning TB/BB conversation last night. Left it there. Like, if you're throwing out a 10 it's always gonna be weighted more recent than anything. I didn't know Bradshaw from a pov of watching him so didn't think about him or make it until I read This thread so yeah... For me as it were, it would be:
Rodgers
Manning P
Brees
Elway
Brady
Jim Kelly
Favre
Marino
Montana
Aikman
Warner...

And that exactly shows recency bias...

It also shows that the top 5 are indivisible and also it's a top 11...

On a personal level, Rodgers astounds me constantly and I wish BB got to use him; but Brees and Peyton have always disgusted me at their play action shít. They both made me fall in love with the NFL tbh.

Watching TB and Bill last night wax Lyrical about Peyton was just something. Brady is great but he's also such a lucky son of a bitch.

Imagine the pats with Brees or Peyton... Christ.

Anyway...

I made my picks for week 17 two days ago but I made them without taking into account the fact that with teams not playing for anything that teams might not play to full strength. I'll go through my picks tomorrow morning and see if I need to change any picks.

This is an ideal week to try redzone for the first time.

jack presley

I love week 17 with some teams not giving a sh1t and throwing in trick plays.

First time ? As in ever ?

Well not exactly. I always found it way too distracting to watch it chopping back and forth. So usually give up quickly enough. But sticking with it tonight... for the 6pm games anyway.

ScrubsfanChris

Sanu drops three passes inside 20 minutes. Worst signing in a long time.

Masked Man

Terrible throw by Brady. Thought we were safe from the Dolphins this year!

Kev8360

Pick six for Miami!

MileHighGuy

Brady looks way off today. Some wild throws in there - granted, only following on Redzone

ScrubsfanChris

Brady overthrows the receivers two plays in a row by huge margins, not even close.

Dolphins aren't even getting much pressure on him. He's having a stinker.

Itssoeasy

Brain dead penalty by the packers early in this drive.

MileHighGuy

Hard to believe the Packers could be 13-3 with a win. There's been hardly a peep that I've heard about them all season, pretty much being overlooked in the NFC, very quietly built a 12-3 record (if that's possible)

ScrubsfanChris

1:46 left and all 3 timeouts. Yet the Pat's run down the clock instead?

MileHighGuy

Looked like a pretty careless interception to be thrown by Rivers there. I wonder if he'll be back, both in the second half, and just in general for the Chargers?

ScrubsfanChris

Winston throws his weekly INT
Up to 29 for the season with 33 total turnovers

One more and he'll have a 30 TD/30 Int season.

This will be a remarkable achievement, the likes of which will never be seen again. I don't think I've seen a QB throw 30 interceptions sine, maybe the Nineties....P Manning rookie year maybe?

Was mentioned Farve threw 29 in 2005.
No idea what kind of season he had that year though.

MileHighGuy

Just had a quick look, Vinny Testaverde threw 35 in 1988. Manning only managed 28 in 1998, his rookie year.

I think George Blanda's record of 42 in a 14 game season is safe for the foreseeable future!

MileHighGuy

Panthers might be back in it, kicking a short field goal, down 35. Whoever is coaching is clearly not a candidate for the full time job next year.

Itssoeasy

Mahomes throws an INT. chargers ball. I hate that the eagles game was moved to 9:25pm. Leave it at. 6pm and let me get it over with.

Itssoeasy

TD chiefs after terrible defending by the chargers.

ScrubsfanChris

3&15 and Brady throws a............. 5 yard pass

Ugh

Davante Parker single handedly putting the brakes on Gilmore's DPOY campaign.
