Are we going by volume or number of cans?

Cuz I like drinkin tall boys. And, and maybe this is just me, but I've accidently bought those tiny lil Bud Lite cans before. Thought I got a steal on an 18 pack. Wrong! But I did get a buck eighty in returns. Which is more than I'd get for a twelve pack. But the 18 beers had less beer than the 12er. More was less, while it was more at the same time.

They also made my hands look big. Which helps my self esteem.

I'm drinkin what you're drinkin, I trust your judgement on beer until you try to fool me into buying Stegmaier light, Wilkes Barre's finest...

Warner with 4 votes. Didn't see that coming.

Actually, the trade happened before the back injury.
And Walsh admitted he traded for Young to stir up Joe.

The back injury occurred at the beginning of 1986 and Young came to the 49ers in 1987. Jeff Kemp was the QB that replaced Montana in the lineup. Walsh convinced Young in part to come over by telling him Montana's back injury would probably prevent him from playing long term. Walsh looked at getting Jim Everett from the Oilers first but the Rams offered a better deal. Walsh was already thinking about Montana not being able to play beyond 1986 and even considered trading him at one point after acquiring Steve Young. He brought up the idea during a coaches meeting

"In 1986, Montana suffered a severe back injury during week one of the season. The injury was to a spinal disc in Montana's lower back and required immediate surgery. The injury was so severe that Montana's doctors suggested that Montana"

Yep, you're right.
For some reason I thought the back injury was '88, a year and a half after Young was brought in.

Who is the greatest quarterback of all time?

I tried to be fair and put in the poll everyone who's in the conversation from decades past to the present day, including some choices I thought were questionable.

Vote in the poll, and explain why!

Didn't even read the list. I skimmed it to find Brady and clicked.

Then I died inside.

Graph showing change in NFL body size over the years:

The point? There may be more rules protecting quarterbacks now than in decades past, but quarterbacks take much harder hits because players are just so much bigger and stronger.

It's between Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell.

Brady barely gets into the top 10. Played entire career in a lousy division. Is a cheater and whiner. He would have a legit reason to cry if he played in the 70s and 80s. Can you imagine Marino playing with the rules we have today?

Lol, reggie white weighed over 300 and ran faster than most line backers. Did you ever watch the hits qbs used to take? Getting close lined and getting speared

That is interesting. Wasn't aware of that

Probably because it isn't true.

 

[Rex Racer]

I work out and eat healthy food to maintain my chiseled physique. I never took steroids.

That's why you make Erkel look like Captain America.

Lol at aaron rodgers with 7 votes. Delusional pecker fans

 

[Ricky Roma]

Lol at aaron rodgers with 7 votes. Delusional pecker fans

Why is that delusional? Not that I believe he's the best of all time but, he's the best QB in the NFL today and basically on a historic type run?

 

[Groo]

Never saw anyone control the game like Peyton did.
