Some of you are dumb as ****.

Here, how about this for a stupid ****ing correlation? This mother****er won more games than anyone in NFL history:



This mother****er was second:

Montana has 4 rings, Brady has 3. How do they compare to Favre and Marino on throwing down filed?

I think it's a legitimate question.

While I do believe that you have to keep defenses honest by chucking it downfield occassionally, I also believe that some of the greats took their shots sparingly, specifically Joe Montana.

To me, the measure of greatness is more about what you do in the last 5 minutes of big games, in the playoffs, and the SB.

Now, it is a team game, and guys like Marino and Dan Fouts were limited by the teams around them on the defensive side, so it's really hard to get a true measure of their greatness.

On the other hand, I believe a guy like Kenny Stabler is highly underrated.

No, the guy is sitting there saying Montana and Brady couldn't throw down the field or didn't do it with efficiency.

At least that's what he's implying.

Montana made some gorgeous ****ing throws down the field during his career.

Yes but Montana didn't make a living chucking the ball down the field. The West Coast Offense is not an "air-em-out" offense.

You miss his point.

Montana was, and Brady has been through most of his career, very effective and efficient throwing the ball downfield, regardless of the limited number of attempts to go downfield.
