"Lets talk a little football"

so lets talk a little football shall we. more specifically, lets talk about great qbs. and why we are seeing the greatest qb ever right now (and why terrific tom and big ben arent him.) frist of all id like to say that without a good D then a qb isnt worth anything. maybe even a good safety. take a look at the steelers this year. without troy palalalamaalllo they are terrible on D and more than likely are out of the playoff. the pats? same thing. sort of. didnt resign potential hall of famer rodney harrison and traded away stout dt richard seymour and their D is hurting and so instead of being 12-2 or something close to that they are about 8-5 and look average. another reason why the tom isnt the best ever- last year. dude doesnt even play and they still went 11-5 and made the playoffs. granted with brady they probably go 12-4 maybe even 13-3 but still they put in a guy (matt cassell) that had never started a COLLEGE game, much less an NFL game. and went 11-5. cmon people. its not brady its the system. granted tom has 3 rings and ben has 2, but how many would they win if they had to win based only on what the offense can do? then i bring you the greatest QB ever (and for sure of this decade) peyton manning. he lead his team to the most wins ever in a decade, throws for 4,000 yds every year of his career. and does it all with no D. oh and lets not forget peyton has had 3 head coaches. tom-1 and ben-2. so things change and he still wins. how about his great safety. former defensive mvp bob sanders? yeah he is out. and they still win. heck he plays more with out sanders then he does with him. lose one of the greatest wideouts ever (marvin harrison) no problem. he made stars out of no names. trade away not one, but two future hall of fame backs (marshall faulk and edgerrin james) dont worry he'll do what he does. which is get his team to win. take this past game for example. the jags carved up the colts D and peyton lead his team to victory again. the 7th this time that they have come from behind in the 4th qtr (most ever btw) and they are still 14-0. maybe its just some rambling but neither brady nor big ben have had to carry the load like peyton. both of them have had great D and big ben had the bus bettis to carry the load. the one year that peyton had a healthy D that actually played ok they won the super bowl. im not saying that they are gonna win it again this year, but if they can get some guys healthy on D the offense will be good enough to do the job.
