And that's what's holding them back from true greatness. You won't even remember those guys in a year.

Agree... Just go out and do your job and let that prove how good you are. If you need to tell people how good you are, there is a problem.

Joe has put together some nice stats in his first four years, although at times he has driven me a little crazy. He has had some serious "happy feet" in the past. This is the first year that I have finally felt pretty confident in him as the Ravens starter.

NFL records
First rookie quarterback to start all sixteen games and make the playoffs (along with Matt Ryan)

First rookie quarterback to win two playoff games

Most starts by a quarterback in first season: 19

Most starts by a quarterback in first two seasons: 37

Most starts by a quarterback in first three seasons: 55

Most wins by a quarterback in first 60 consecutive starts: 40

Most combined regular and postseason wins in first three years as a quarterback: 36 (tied with Dan Marino)

First quarterback to start and win a playoff game in each of his first four seasons

Most regular season wins by a quarterback in his first four seasons: 44

He also leads the league in awkward First Mariner Bank commercials.

That's only because Brady was injured for the 2008 season. Dial it forward or back a year and Brady's got the record for sure.

Also Belichick was fined $50k by the NFL for the ref grabbing incident. No suspension.

He should have had a more fitting punishment, like tying his arms behind his back, making him spread his legs, and then having all 32 teams' kickers and punters give him a "free kick" in the "red zone".

Cundiff gonna **** up his knee.

On a more serious note I do think Peyton Manning will start to play better once he gets more experience under his belt. Hopefully Eli will give him some pointers.

I just worry he's too old to start on the sport.

I figure he will probably pull a jimmy Morris.

I think Peyton will get better, Brady will get better, Rodgers will get better, Brees will be ok as long as the team doesn't implode, RG3 will level off or get worse as defenses adjust to his game, Vick may be in trouble.

Flacco needs to grow the mustache again.

Except for the part about RG3. He will only get better, bigger, faster, stronger, RG3'ier.

That may be the case, but the Skins D is going to kill them this year.
