    ++ Unitas Best all time ++ another top 10 list

    in NFL General

    Posted

    1. Johnny Unitas— Called his own plays and set the standard for the position. Unitas beat teams with his arm, preparation and the ability to raise his considerable game in the biggest moments.

    Unitas won three championships, including Baltimore's win over the Giants in 1958 that was dubbed the "greatest game ever played." He led the league in touchdown passes in four consecutive years and also set one of those Mount Everest records in the league's history with a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games, a streak that spanned from the 1956 season until Dec. 11, 1960.

    The mark has not been seriously challenged for much of the past 50 years, until Drew Brees' current streak, which opens the season at 43.

    2. Otto Graham—

    3. Joe Montana—

    4. John Elway—

    5. Bart Starr—

    6. Terry Bradshaw—

    7. Peyton Manning—

    Still going and already holds the league record for MVP awards (four), 4,000-yard passing seasons (11) to go with record for seasons with at least 10 wins (11). Has one Super Bowl win and

    holds record with eight 300-yard passing games in postseason. And in era when quarterbacks are often tethered to the coaches, he calls his own plays much of the time.

    ** ( my point , never knew the 300 yard passing games post season record when people talk of lack of postseason success, Helps show its a team thing )

    And in era when quarterbacks are often tethered to the coaches, he calls his own plays much of the time.

    8. Tom Brady— Has fueled the Patriots dynasty to three Super Bowl wins — two of those coming with late drives from Brady — and two additional title-game appearances. Also authored the only 16-0 regular season in NFL history to go with a single-season record of 50 touchdown passes that year.

    9. Brett Favre—

    10. Roger Staubach—

    If the list were a top 11, Hall of Famer Dan Marino, one of the best pure passers the league has ever seen, would be next.

    3 member appeals panel rejects Saints bounty suspensions and overturns them

    in NFL General

    Cliffs: (Because the major nuanced issue hasn't been posted in this thread)

    The Saints, to include the Coaching staff and Players "DO" admit to a "Pay for Performance" program. Not unlike several that have been found to have previously been operating in the league.

    The Saints, to include "SOME" coaches,owner, and staff along with all players "DO NOT" admit this program was a "pay to injure" AKA "BOUNTY" program, which the NFL says it has verbal and written statements claiming this program existed for the sole purpose of targeting certain players to remove them from a game by injury or extreme physical pain to make them not want to continue.

    3 things that often are overlooked when people weigh-in on this matter:

    1) The Saints were confronted with allegations about the program in the offseason of their Superbowl win (2010), to which they; to include Payton,Loomis and the Owner, flatly denied "ANY COMPENSATORY PERFORMANCE PROGRAM EXISTED" (important to note). They were politely told by the NFL then any such program was illegal and to cease immediately.

    2) We know now from the partially released evidence and media leaks that the NFL was given this initial info from a disgruntled Saints defensive coach who personally adminsitered payments, and created a ledger for the program at the behest of Greg Williams (GW). Magically he recanted his story apparently mid-season 2011. The NFL has proof from the seized ledger "A" program did in fact exist and continued operating in the 2010 and 2011 seasons after being warned to cease by the NFL. Payton,Loomis, and GW continuously lied to the NFL about the very existence of any sort of program, until GW caved when confronted with copies of the ledger and "multiple" statements from prior players. Once that domino fell, the whole program was exposed to the sunlight with all the liars in New Orleans having to publicly "Cop" to the program.

    3) The players contrition was short lived and the very definition of the program was manipulated, into pay for performance instead of pay to injure. The distinction was made by the NFLPA (Kessler) after it was reported GW ran similar programs pretty much everywhere he coached. That phraseology is the very key the NFLPA is using to try and limit Goodells ability to impose the punishments he wanted to. Instead of trying to fight the lawyers about phraseology, Goodell attempted to punish under a separate clause in the CBA concerning "Salary-Cap" violations, which meant that the only words that mattered were "Pay For", and that "Injure" or "Performance" were moot, and he could move forward, and sweep this ugly matter under the rug.

    With all that being said, my personal view is Goodell does not want to expose his sources; because his sources obviously are Payton,GW,and Hargrove. To expose the details of this program in it's entirety to the public so Goodell can be allowed to properly punish the involved players will both expose the NFL,Saints, and Players to litigation and possible criminal prosecution. It is beyond obvious to any objective observer that this was a conspiracy at the highest level of that organization, who thought that the NFL would never allow a PR disaster, like whuch that this has become, to ever go public.

    In sum: the players have over-played their hand, and the NFL has only 1 move left on the board, because of Jeffery Kessler's over-agressive tactics. It's going to get very ugly, very quick.

    I really hope it does get ugly and prove what this Saint Organization is really about. None of my saint (aint) freinds would believe

    me when I said these aint players were a bunch of dirt bags and trying to hurt people the year they won the Superbowl. Was I the only one with my EYES OPENED TOTHIS GARBAGE??? The worse part about this is, I live here to close To New Orleans and I have to see and here all the FU-IN of Goodell. For the most part saint fans could care less if they did anything wrong long as they win and do what ever it takes to win, right or wrong. But Sorry to say that's The City of New Orleans for you and for the most part the fans. They do feel with the heart, but are blinder than bats with no eyes. So I have to live in this mess. HELP!!!!!

    Luck's throwing motion

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    The only motion I can think about at this time is, Luck sure seems to me like he is a outstanding young man!! I feel like a father figure for some reason are would be if I could!! That's all I can say, I like the young man for some reason more than for a football

    reason. Something I didn't feel about Manning but that's just me.
