There are some commonly stated misconceptions that I hear in forums, media , tabloids etc.. So I figured I would clear some of them up.

QB vs QB
There is no such thing as QB vs QB. Its QB vs opposing Defense. Brees/Brady, Brees/Rogers, Brees/Manning, will never happen unless they meet up somewhere and play golf, basketball, ping pong etc...

Super Bowls/ Rings/ Quarterbacks (this is a long one)

Great Quarterbacks are defined by Super Bowl Rings
Quarterbacks win Super Bowls

BULLH!T

TEAMS win Super Bowls. Brees did not take us to the promise land with out interceptions by Sharper, and Montana would not have all of his rings with out Rice.

Some of the same people who say Super Bowls are won by Quarterbacks also say Defenses win championships... Make up your mind. Unless you are trying to say the Defense won the conference championship but the quarterback won the Superbowl... Which just doesn't compute.

Elite Quarterbacks are not defined by wins or Super Bowl rings. Teams are. Elite Quarterbacks are defined purely by stats, not one years worth of stats but many years worth of stats. "Elite in your position" is not defined by TEAM ACHIEVEMENTS. It is solely based on how you stand up to the rest of the players at your position strictly on YOUR performance. Given that receivers play a huge roll in that.

Defenses do not win Championships
Evident by the past few Super Bowl champions having less than spectacular defenses, and teams with top defenses not winning any Super Bowls in recent years.

Out of the last 5 Super Bowl Champions only the Steelers had notable Defenses.

Incomplete passes
If a receivers finger tips even touch the ball the incomplete is on him. If he can git is fingertips on the ball he damn well better find a few more inches to catch it.

Great Quarter Backs have to be tall

Drew Brees

Great Players make a Great Team

Great players only make a great roster... Great Teams are teams that bond, and know how each other plays. They fit together like a puzzle and each players strengths off set another players weakness.

Enough of the frikken "dream team" designation before the first regular season game has even been played.

Dome Teams are not as good as Stadium teams

Well there may be some truth to this according to the Super Bowl Champions but we are still going to whip your azz.

The Jets are worthy of conversation

Simply no.

Professional Football is a gentleman's sport
No. It is a gladiators sport. It is a sport where penalties and not for cheating, they are for getting caught doing something the other guy didn't get caught doing to you. 60% of the players are not roll models... They are thugs you would not bring home for Christmas dinner with your family. The league does an "ok" job of cleaning up the presentation but the reality is that that most of the players play football because it is the only legal lucrative profession they are qualified for, or could succeed doing.

DeMaurice Smith is at odds with Roger Goodell
Do not be fooled for a minute.. They are in bed, not at odds. The NFL is too powerful of a machine to have any rogue intelligent life form at odds with it for too long. The suspended players and Coaches NEED the League, otherwise all of them would be working at JC Penny telling the league to shove it for the way they were treated.

Lastly.. The CBA

The CBA does not protect the players. It is actually a mask that the league wears to keep the players under thumb... The league knows that if the $ amount in the CBA looks right, the players will swallow any and erery other demand put in it by the league... Thats why we are where we are now with Bounty Gate... Smith and the NFLPA saw a $ figure that looked good and forgot to read the rest that made Goodell King, Deity, and Commissar.
