:huh:  Russel Wilson has a better playoff record than Eli Manning.

Barely.  Eli is 8-3 (72.7%).  Russell is 6-2 (75%).

Brady is not 25, however.
Unlike Manning he doesn't have a bionic neck, is over all healthier and is sixteen months younger to boot. I think we can expect to see another two, maybe three good years out of him.
Yep, he's determined to play as long as he can. We can expect a few more championship seasons and maybe another Super Bowl appearance by the Pats. They have a great core team, many are very young, and who knows maybe the second string QB will take over in a couple/three years and continue the tradition.  :)

If the New York football Giants can just get to the playoffs they're golden.  Tough part is getting there.
:huh:  NYG are 24-24 in the playoffs.  Not golden. 

They have won 4 of the 5 Super Bowls they have appeared in.  Perhaps that is what you meant.

I meant in recent years.  As in the Eli Manning-Tom Coughlin era.  Their playoff losses in the 1930s really don't mean shit today, regardless of how vivid your memory is.
:huh:  Russel Wilson has a better playoff record than Eli Manning.

Keep making that face and it will stay that way.

You are right.  "Truths" will overcome my facts.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I'd rank 8-3 record with 2 super bowl wins over 6-2 with 1--winning percentage isn't everything.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

In other news, Johnny Football has checked into rehab. The NFL draft is such a crapshoot. You pick a Heisman winner expecting him to be your QB of the future, and then this. No way to anticipate this happening.

I'm hoping there's a lot of sarcasm there....

Meanwhile, more from the "Dorsey4Rehab Never Saw It Coming" files--

QuoteThe NFL officially suspended Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon for at least a full calendar year without pay on Tuesday after another violation of the league's substance abuse policy. The suspension begins immediately.

That was a fun article.  It's interesting how scathing their metrics are to poor Dalton.

Oh and it gets better: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12278830/cleveland-browns-gm-ray-farmer-face-texting-sanctions

QuoteA suspension for general manager Ray Farmer, a loss of a draft pick and a fine for the team are among the possible sanctions the Cleveland Browns are facing in the NFL's investigation into allegations that texts were being sent to the sidelines during games, league sources told ESPN, confirming a report by Cleveland.com.



Well cheer up Browns fans, so long as the Washington Redskins are around you will never be the worst franchise in the NFL.

Just confirms what we all knew.  I don't pin this past year's playoff loss on him, though.
