I would rather have a bad right-handed QB than a good left-handed QB

But would you be willing to try a left-footed kicker?

Honestly, my pockets are kind of tight right now with the holidays coming up. I can't afford any left-handed or left-footed footballs.

He's right. Quite a few strong armed righties get pushed that way too, but lefties are more sought after and anyone who has size and a power left arm is highly sought after and given more chances to make majors level select and HS teams.

He's not talking about that, though. He's not talking about athletes who are in (or trying to be in) baseball. He's talking about left-handed football players being taken and turned (or pushed) into baseball players. I played high school, college and independent pro baseball. I never saw that and I must have played on a million different teams between schools, summer travel ball, showcase teams, fall teams, etc.

Sorry OP, but we will have to agree to disagree.

There is no prejudice in all creation that would ever make me rather have Bork Asswiper as starting quarterback ever again.

My team had a bad left handed QB that led us to the playoffs, so I'd say give me the lefty that wants to win over losers like Joe Flacco or Case Keenum.

Joe was a winner, you got him a few steps slower, with a D that deserted him and an oline that was out for pizza....8 sacks in one game means come on in the front door is open....
at least 3 of their loses was the D gave it away after leading in the last moments of the game...
You should thank him for waking those bums up before he was done there by calling them out for playing scared....They finally threw caution to the wind and it worked....
But Fangio stinks like a dead fish left in the sun 3 days as a HC...

"The Snake" was one of my favorite QB's in that era.

Bad right handed QB Eli Manning has 2 SB rings and 2 SB MVP's. Will soon be a HOF candidate.

NEXT

Your definition of bad qb is grossly skewed....Bad is Matt Schaub, Johnny Manziel, Matt Leinart etc...Right and left handed, bad is bad....
Do you mean to tell me that you would rather have a right handed loser than a left handed winner ???
If so, you need help that only a psychiatrist can give you....
Stabler, Young, Esiason, Brunnel, Zorn, etc were great to very good....There are far more righties than lefties in the league so naturally there will be more successful right hand qb's than left...
Just give me a winner, that's all that matters to any normal fan....

The fact that somebody took this thread THIS seriously makes my day. I actually argued having a bad QB over a good one well enough for someone to formulate a serious response. I really should go to law school.
