it has to do with how the html code is altered when you copy and paste some articles in. The poster isn't doing it. or the mods do it when they alter a post.

Yeah. It was automatic when I posted it. I think its because its in the featured discussion? I didn't mean to post it there, but it was too late when I had realized where it went.

Psycho: Im not necessarily dissagreeing with him on the full comment I just think he gives Brees too little credit. So does the rest of the leage. I have never seen a QB in my 20 years of watching the NFL with his kind of talent. Though there are some arguably greater QB's duet to the championships they've won, Brees is still very underrated.

this. He's a pocket passer but he's not a tree. Anyone who's watched a game knows that. He'll get a sack here or there but c'mon

I just can't believe Brees is still being compared to Manning and Brady. I feel like Brady was over rated and Manning is probably the only other QB in the league that can compare to Brees. Manning and Brees work ethic are alot alike. This might be the year Brady shows his true colors. The only reason he was so explosive was because he had the supporting cast. Of course it takes a supporting cast for any QB to be success. The O line needs to get more love. Without them hed be getting sacked and hurried every down. Shout out to the O-line: Jonathan Goodwin, Nick Leckey, Carl Nicks, Jon Stinchcomb, Jermon Bushrod, Jahri Evans, Zach Strief, and Jamar Nesbit for doing such a good job on protecting Brees.

His comment about "pocket passers" is ridiculous. Look back thru history and tell me how many running QB's have won championships in the NFL? Maybe a couple but all of them were able to stand in the pocket and make the throws necessary to win.

I guess it depends on what's meant by "running QB's"

There have been few great QB's who could also run the ball well when necessary...

John Elway
Steve Young
Johnny Unitas
I think Doug Williams was a decent runner too.

But if you mean the real running QB's like Vick and Vince Young, yeah, I'll take a so called pocket passer all day long.

Williams wasn't a running QB. Maybe you are thinking of Warren Moon? He wasn't a "running" QB but he took off when needed. There's also Staubach, Tarkenton, Cunningham, Gannon...

I guess is all semantics... someone says "pocket passer" and people think Drew Bledsoe or Byron Leftwich, guys who stand there and literary don't move. Maybe we should have another term for QBs who are able to move efficiently within the pocket.
