Brooks is Jeff George... or is he?

Saint_LB · 03-29-2005, 08:28 AM

I think the main difference between AB and George is that when AB throws an interception, he smiles about it. George, on the other hand, usually cusses the coach out about it.

Let\'s not forget that both guys are coach killers...

At this point, I\'d be happy to trade a DE and QB to San Diego for Rivers too, but Eli would be ideal.

I HATE Jeff George. WhoDat, you\'re right in that the league favors QBs now, but the Offenses that George played in were the most pass happy in the league at the time. (Even though I looked at the attempts and they are similar for the 2 guys.)
I am by no means an AB lover, but I would actually take Brooks over George regardless of what the numbers say. I just never liked the guy at all. At least AB has a winning smile.

Or at least a .500 smile. :rollinglaugh:

Very interesting, WhoDat.

I once did the same type of comparison for Archie Manning and Roger Staubach.

I would do it again, but I don\'t want to make Archie look that bad.

Just for the fun of it .....

Any guesses as to who was the chosen Golden Boy under center for Mike Sheppard the last time he was an Offensive Coordinator .....

I do-archie is overrated..he was good, but he wasn\'t all that saints fans turn him out to be...staubach..was the man...or was it all landry? who was a man among men.

I like the way Gumbo loves to bash Archie -- well here is a good question -- besides Gumbo I bet most would gladly take Archie in his prime versus AB. Gumbo -- you want to talk about poor teams -- dropped passes -- bad offensive lines -- no running game -- well except for the one cocaine year (Cocaine Chuck Muncie, Wes cokehound Chandler) AB is sitting on a veritable gold mine of talent. Archie was a class act -- a smart football player -- knew the game -- could read defenses and played on a team far worse than AB ever has -- Please don\'t even mention Archie in the same sentence as AB ---

I\'d probably take Archie in his prime over all but just a handful of NFL QB\'s that ever played.
How many QB\'s went 8-8, and got MVP?

I\'m not an AB hater but to mention AB with Archie is laughable.

Kinda like saying Kerry Collins was as good as John Elway.
