Cursing and throwing sh!t at the TV is not cheering.
Jerry Tagge - GB West. Saw him play up close a few times when they faced off with Sheboygan North. Our neighbor (Mike Krueger) was the better QB but blew out his knee Freshman year at the AF Academy... was never the same.
Craig Nall was such a waste of potential tallant.
He was no Kevin Kolb.
Jerry Tagge - GB West.
And the alma mater of bvan, class of '62.
Go Wildcats!
You are old ain't you.
I have been watching the GBP since Starr's great years. Think about it: Starr's last year as a starter of significant time was 1970 (in '71 he played only three games). Dickey, a pretty darn good QB on bad teams, started in 1976-77, and again from '80 through '85. Then came Majkowski, Favre, Rodgers. You could argue that the 57 years from Starr starting in GB to today, us fans have had to suffer only nine years of truly bad starting QBs. I'm not saying they were all perfect QBs all of the time, but they sure weren't the garbage most other teams/fans have had to suffer through.
Think about it: almost 50 years of above average/great QBs. I cannot think of another team that even comes close to that.
Packers have 3 HOFers- it's amazing.
49ers had YA Tittle, Montana, Young, and Garcia- that might be a better list, if you think about it.
Cowboys had Staubach, White, Aikman, and yes, Romo.
Pittsburgh had Bradshaw, O'Donnell, Roethlisberger.
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.”
Its not about the QB. It's the team. Bart embraced it. Favre distanced himself from it. Aaron might be the best QB I've ever watched in my lifetime. He appreciates and understands his place in history. He wants that second SB trophy worse than any of us will ever know.

Majic had one good year. That is it.
Dickey could really throw the ball. He was a huge part of what made those teams worth watching.

Just on the outside!

49ers also had John Brodie.
O'Donnell?!?!?!
does not belong in any discussion about greatness
And Cowboys had Don Meredith and Eddie LeBaron.
Aaron Rodgers is so good his fumbles are Touchdowns.

The moment where Peppers realized his destiny.
"chester marcol! chester marcol! chester marcol!
"and chester marcol scored all 12 points"
Wow, the GB cheerleaders were actually..."fit" back then. Nice.
He looked like he did the first lambeau leap, just without the leap.
Lindsey Nelson and Sonnny Jurgensen on the Marcol call, yes?
As a kid I remember I couldn't understand 75% of anything Sonny said. Good for CBS to hire a guy with a speech impediment.
Peppers on coming to GB: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
A sidenote: Marcol was on cocaine when he scored that TD. Remembering Chester Marcol's Miracle.
Forgive me this moment. My nephew. A natural QB just got his ass beat in the CA state playoffs as a JR. I care about him because he threw me 20 yard outs 10 years ago in a supermarket parking lot in Camino CA.
Sports has no political correctness. You lose you learn. There is always someone better until there isn't.
When wasn't Marcol on coke?quote:A sidenote: Marcol was on cocaine when he scored that TD.
Ok dumb question time, whos house is this
one years supply?
Cam Newton. No wait....RGIII. no wait again....Colin Kaperdick.
Oh, that was soooo my exact thought. 
Ok dumb question time, whos house is this
It's not a current photo, it's from a couple of winters ago.... good call though Yooper, was the response I was hoping for!!!
The original question was:
Does a Yooper in a stupor, covet his fellow yoopers' pooper ?
This one's easy. Any QB coming out of perennially over-hyped USC.
Multiple sources reporting tonight that WASH will start Colt McCoy over Robert Griffin this Sunday. Gruden the Younger has stones, I'll grant you that. Too bad he couldn't do it earlier.
Interesting take on Arod:

Snippet:
First, Aaron Rodgers — apparently unmoved by my ongoing criticism of his failure to throw more interceptions3 — is absolutely tearing it up this year (at least when his team is ahead, which is most of the time lately). Recently, he accomplished something pretty cool that I didn’t know about:
On Sept. 25, 2011, Rodgers threw three touchdown passes as the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 27-17. With that result, the Packers had scored 2,991 more points than their opponents all-time, ahead of the Bears’ 2,989 — and the Packers haven’t looked back. As of last Sunday, Green Bay held the NFL’s best historical margin of victory by 358 points.
From today's Washington Post. lol
On March 11, 2012, the Redskins traded for the pick that would become Griffin. Fans went berserk with happiness. The next morning, at least one sent in his order for RGIII vanity plates. And team executives were also euphoric. Thus, this excerpt from Adam Schefter:
The March night when the Redskins agreed to send three first-round picks and a second-round pick to St. Louis for the right to go up to No. 2 in the draft and select Robert Griffin III, Washington’s brain trust celebrated in a style that was beyond grand. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder boarded his private plane with general manager Bruce Allen and head coach Mike Shanahan, and the men flew to the Bahamas to celebrate their franchise-altering acquisition. The men spent the weekend toasting their trade, playing golf and celebrating a deal that neither Cleveland nor Miami could get done….When word of the Redskins’ weekend trip to the Bahamas filtered back to St. Louis last winter, Rams officials kiddingly wondered out loud, “They’re celebrating? Maybe we didn’t get enough.”
with his team needing a touchdown to tie or take the lead (that is, down 4 points to 8 points), only Peyton Manning has led his team to a higher percentage of touchdown drives:
Yet the stupid author chooses to ignore the stats. Apparently, touchdowns aren't good enough. If he could throw a couple of additional INTs into the mix he would win more games. Brilliant!
Here's a fun one for you.
Name the QBs Tell me who is over-rated or not. NOTE NOT ALL ARE ACTIVE!
| Completion % | TD% | INT% | Y/A | QB Rating | |
| A | 59.4% | 5.0% | 3.0% | 7.3 | 86.4 |
| B | 61.6% | 4.8% | 3.3% | 7.2 | 85.5 |
| C | 56.9% | 4.1% | 3.1% | 7.1 | 79.9 |
| D | 62.0% | 5.0% | 3.3% | 7.1 | 86.0 |
| E | 63.8% | 4.6% | 2.3% | 7.1 | 90.8 |
| F | 60.4% | 4.7% | 1.7% | 7.8 | 93.2 |
| G | 65.9% | 6.6% | 1.7% | 8.2 | 106.4 |
| H | 58.8% | 4.6% | 3.4% | 7.1 | 81.8 |
| I | 61.1% | 4.7% | 3.0% | 7.0 | 85.3 |
Granted, I understand that stats don't tell the whole story, but I DEFINITELY think that there are certain QBs that have a narrative written about them and it is impossible to change that narrative, whether that narrative is positive or negative.
Be back later with results
Haven't looked to closely to the stats above, but if there are comparisons between different eras of football, the numbers won't really reflect properly. Passing has really become the primary offensive threat for the past couple of decades (in general). The QB numbers have been staggering. Even middle-of-the-road QBs are putting up amazing numbers compared to prior decades.
