Cassel
Garrard
Henne

4. Brett Favre
5. Carson Palmer
6. Matt Schaub
7. Phillip Rivers
8. Donovan McNabb
9. Aaron Rodgers

25. Trent Edwards
26. Mark Bulger
27. Josh Freeman
28. Matt Stafford
29. Alex Smith
30. Derek Anderson
31. Jamarcus Russel

 

You either think VY is extremely bad, or you have a pretty skewed perception of how bad Bulger, Edwards and Delhomme actually are.

 

The homer eyes are absolutely hilarious to watch games through. Ask a random football fan who is indifferent, and you will see MASSIVE difference. Same reason on the wagering menu, EVERYONE picks the Titans to cover EVERY week. That worked out well so far, eh?

 

Ask a random football fan about VY and they'd base their decision on stats from 2 years ago. Very few people have seen VY play this year. The two games were Titans/Jags and Titans/49ers, both of which had terrible national coverage (aka almost none outside of Nashville, Jacksonville and San Fran).

Also, I'm pretty sure most "homers" are realistic. Yeah, I'm a Titans fan, yeah I'm a VY fan. Do I really think he's top 10 in the league? No. Do I have faith in him doing well? Yeah. I think it's more unrealistic to put him below the likes of Bulger and Delhomme than to put him over guys like Campbell, Garrard and Henne.

From what I've seen so far since VY started playing, the so called "homers" have a much better grip of reality than the haters.

 

Guys on the list that appear to better:

Brady
Rothlessburger
Palmer
Flacco
Manning
Schaub
Rivers
Manning
McNabb
Romo
Cutler
Favre
Rodgers
Ryan
Brees
Warner
Hasslebeck

Guys on the list that may be worse:

Henne
Sanchez
Edwards
Anderson
Garrard
Orton
Russell
Cassel
Campell
Stafford
Delhomme
Freeman
Bulger
Smith

VY's right in the middle IMO. He's tough to compare to all of these guys though because they're all for the most part pocket passers. VY's completely different obviously.

 

Skepticism is fine, it's realistic to have doubts whether VY will be able to keep up the way he's playing when looking back at his inconsistent past. As a matter of fact, I'm actually pretty skeptical myself. I hope he does well, but I really wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't keep this up.

The thing I have a problem with is idiots saying he hasn't played well this year cause he hasn't thrown for 300 yards and 5 TDs per game.

 

QBs Clearly better:

Brady
Rothlessburger
Palmer
Flacco
Manning
Schaub
Rivers
Manning
McNabb
Romo
Cutler
Favre
Rodgers
Ryan
Brees
Warner
Hasslebeck

QBs Probably better:
Henne
Garrard
Orton
Cassel
Smith

QBs probably worse:
Bulger
Delhomme
Campbell
Russell
Anderson
Edwards


Too Soon:
Stafford
Freeman
Sanchez

I'd still take Smith over him even after last game, possibly because I've been a 49er fan alot longer than a Titans fan. If you want to yap about winning %, then Shaun Hill must be better than Vince right since (I'm pretty sure) he has a better/similiar winning percentage to Vince even though he's on the 49ers bench.

We'll see what happens as more games go by.
