    I was responding to your comment about the Eagles scoring 31 on the Niners D.

    No one denies the Eagles have an excellent defense, especially not me. But it's not that hard to get into a teams backfield when you know the QB can't pass. You could put me at Defensive Coordinator and I could have told them to crowd the line because they can't throw the ball.

    Purdy got hit on the sixth offensive play of the game. This wasn't a matter of him being hit too many times. QB's get hit and sacked all the time and don't tear their UCL. It's football, things like this happen. But the repeated 3 and outs and realization that the offense wasn't going to be able to score (because we didn't have a QB) kind of put the Niners D in a different mode.

    Texted with my buddy today who pitched for years in the Majors (and is an Eagles fan). He tore his UCL during his playing days (same injury Purdy has) and had to have Tommy John surgery. He said he knew Purdy did same thing the minute he saw the replay. What a bummer.

    Man I hate to see that. I read an article earlier today talking about it. Out at least 6 months. Like I said, even though he plays for San Francisco he’s an easy one to root for.

    The NFL has to get better Refs! It's no coincidence that all the calls went against Cinn.

    Lot's of talk about who the greatest QB is. I really don't get into to those farting contests, but I know a good quarterback when I see one.

    Some people use NFL QB rankings, and some people measure it by the number of Championship titles, and some people measure it by Superbowl Rings!

    It's awfully hard to compete in the NFL today without having a QB capable of running. So QB size is an attribute that is more popular today. Even Height is a key attribute, as a QB has to see over his and their linemen who average 6'2" throughout the league. Having Speed is essential, so they better be fast when they are running for their lives to reach that 1st down marker on the sidelines.

    Since Mahomes has come onto the scene, I've noticed that QB's are following his lead, and developing side-arm throws to connect on those little quick & outs and slants etc.
    So QB's today have to use a little finesse in their game to be able to compete.

    And one very handy attribute they should all possess, is having the capability to throw the ball downfield accurately on long & outs and fades, corner routes etc.

    The NFL today, has one of these type QB's, on just about every team in the league, that have most, if not all, of these attributes.

    Trying to decide which one of them is the best, is like trying to determine who the prettiest girl in the world is, or who the best guitarist in the world is.

    Some may have more NFL experience, or even more NFL playoff experience specifically, and some may be more injury prone, and some may even have better vision than others, some are better at using the clock, and all these things factor in, but for me, IT IS JUST DAMN DIFFICULT TO SAY WHO THE BEST IS, OR EVEN WHO THE GOAT IS TODAY!

    But, l will say this, this new style of QB that is playing today, has improved the game and made it a more enjoyable experience to just watch!

    And watching two of today's very best QB's competing in this years Superbowl is going to be really fun, and I'm looking forward to watching it.

    And good back-up QB's that can throw as well. And a healthy offensive line helps too!

    As far as I could tell, Purdy only made one rookie mistake in the playoffs, and that is when the clock was winding down in the Dallas Game, and he threw that ball all the way to the sideline- just to get rid of it.

    But, Wow! For a rookie, he was quite the showman out there and I am an instant fan!

    Sociologically, I would always choose Philadelphia over dreary flyover country like Kansas City.

    But Kansas City was a charter AFL team (albeit in Dallas at the beginning, and I'd usually root for an AFL charter team (like my Patriots, duh).
    I go back to those days in the 1960s, after all, freezing my ass off in Fenway Park in December (after after sweating my ass off there with the Sox in July),

    I'll probably read a good book on Super Bowl Sunday and solve the dilemma that way.

    Gotta figure Mahomes over Hurts, though, if he has enough receivers able to play.

    Such a shame. I'll be watching the Superbowl for the commercials again as I don't care even one little bit who wins this thing. I was hoping Cinci would get in so I could have a team to root for this time.

Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    That is me most years. The last time I had an interest in a SB team was the year the Falcons were in it against New England.

    Biggest meltdown in the history of the game. lol
