I'm always amused by the armchair QBs who wax nostalgic about past glories while at the same time making their missives both redundant and ironic. Some would deem them imbeciles and I'd be hard-pressed not to disagree. Case in point:, Stepa's inane babbbling with a sprikling of BFMGoalie tossed in. Granted, Johnny U, Starr, Tittle...great QBs of their era. But those boys were being tackled by an average line of 250 pounds and linebackers who checked in under 2 bucks on occasion. Not to mention their speed! At his best, Butkus ran the 40 in about a week and a half. Now you have 300#ers with 5.0 speed and lines that AVERAGE over 300#...it's apples/oranges. As for no running game, Stepa? Not that you didn't sound like someone who should be covering womens softball already, but did you see Maroney with 130 yards last night? Geez...your brilliance would be better used commenting on computer games

Tom Brady just continues to win and set records at the same time. A 92% completion rating in a playoff game to Jacksonville - a team with a pretty solid defense (6th overall in the AFC). It's just another reason why, if he stays healthy and continues playing another 5 seasons, Tom Brady will be ranked as the best quarterback of all time. I have been a Joe Montana fan for as long as I can remember because he set the bar for other quarterbacks during the 80's, but Tom Brady is now on track to go another step beyond Montana. Players like Brady, Montana, John Elway and Brett Favre have proven that while it's important to be athletic, the best asset for the quarterback position is the mind. All of them have displayed other-worldly decision making skills - especially when the game is on the line.

Until Joe Montana came along I always thought that Johnny Unitas was the greatest qb of all time. And I think that one could still make that argument. However, in general I would have amend that sentiment in acknowlegement of the fact that the game has changed over the decades so that it would be more accurate to state that Johnny Unitas was the greatest qb of the first 25 years of the NFL, with Joe Montana being the greatest of the second 25 years--the modern NFL having come into being in 1950 in the form of the merger with the old All American Conference. Taken together, Unitas and Montana are the "gold standard" against which all qbs are measured. The comparisons, however, are invidious. The game of pro football during the first 25 years when Unitas reigned (1950-1975) was played differently than the game that was played during Montana's reign (1975-2000). Unitas was a classic drop-back qb who basically called his own signals and was a "coach on the field". Montana's agility combi

Today, 16 games vs. 12 of the past. No aggressive hitting the QB, running backs, receivers, etc. No blocks lower then the waist. Can't tackle by grabbing someone by the back of the pads or God forebid, wrapping your arm around a runner's neck! Gimme a break! Johnny U, Bart Starr, just to name a few would tear up today's records. And the running records? Imagine if Jimmy Brown played 16 games a year and for 12,13,14 years. Ha! Don't compare today's stars with yesterdays. Gimme Dick Butkus, Ray Nitscke, Mike Curtis, Lee Roy Jordan, Tommy Nobis over the Ray Lewis' of today. How about Jack Tatum?
Greatest games ever? Dallas/Detroit playoff game. Remember the score? It was 5-3. With today's rules, games like that are frowned upon. Its more important to run the score up, like the Patriots did that this year!
Oh, I am a Colts fan. But I will not compare today's teams versus the teams which established this league. Back then, it was about your team. Today, its about bucks. How sad all sport

if brady had played under the same rules as johnny unitas the great quarterback of years ago he would be held in the same breath, now you can't hardly touch a quarterback and the recievers you can't touch them either, how would brady ever play under those conditions, there's a long line brady has to get into before he's considered great

The Patriots are the embodiment of Madden Football 07! Caricutures of football players with absolutely no personality at all. Bill Belichick has all the grace, glow and charm of a hooded cobra and he takes all the fun out of actully being 16-0 and possible winning a super bowl. You cannot even start to compare Brady with Montana or the imortal Johnny U, the greatest QB of all time. Johnny U wasn't protected with all thes sissy rules that protect QBs and receivers today. Helmet to helmet hit - no problem! Crack-back block? Be my guest. I'm sick of all these creampuff, marshmellow rules of today. Don't even try to compare Brady with the QBs of yesteryear. It's like having a foul shooting contest in basketball and the winner makes 95-100 and all of a sudden you're comparing him with Rick Barry. Barry did it under game conditions when he was fatigued and sometimes injured. The slob who hit the 95-100 just stood at some foul line, all rested, and made shots with nothing on the line. You do
