duus Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Earlier today, on a local radio show here in Pissburgh, I heard a brief interview with Beano. They start talking about Benji the Stealer QB. Beano made the comment that "there might be 2 better QBs in the league, but Ben is the best athlete". Really? Ben is the best athlete playing QB today? So, although I was very tempted to put this under the Smack area, I decided to take a deep breath and not get all crazy once again about what these idiots around here say from day to day. Instead, I started thinking about the statement and thought it a bit interesting to list the top 3 overall QBs and the top 3 overall 'athletic' QBs (whatever that means!). Oh yeah, I am trying not to look at this from a historical point of view, but instead how these guys are performing now (last year or so).My lists:QBs - (1) Brady, (2) Manning, (3) Palmer 'Athletic' QBs - (1) Vick, (2) McNabb, (3) CulpepperThese are surely arguable, and I am not even sure of the order of each of these, but I couldn't imagine taking any of these guys out the respective list. Benji might be next in either list, but he DEFINITELY is not the most 'athletic' QB ... and there are DEFINITELY more than only 2 QBs better than him. Give me a break.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Why would you distinguish with "athletic" QB's? Is Beano afraid of the race card being pulled? Silliness.Vick is not the QB Brady, Manning, Palmer or Ben is. I'd take Culpepper or McNabb over him every day also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was I actually allowing race to influence me and just didn't realize it!?!?! Oh no, I'm afraid I might be racist deep down inside!!! Nah, seriously ... it's either that those guys truly are more 'athletic' (again, whatever that means) or the media has convinced me of it and I just didn't know it. It really is hard to argue with those lists, regardless. BTW ... I would not have considered Moon athletic, and during his time he would have bee high on my list of the 'non-athletic' side. Whatever ... silly, stupid comment. Which is really the point after all ... why distinguish? These guys are all very, very good QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
