Manning's have 4 Super Bowls between them, but don't think Eli is a Hall of Famer. JJ and TJ could both end up in Canton. Bruce and Clay Matthews for me. Both multiple All-Pro who had long-lived careers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good, but not Defensive Player of the Year standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both multiple All-Pro who had long-lived careers I didn't see Bruce play, but Clay Matthews was never at the same level as the Watts. Very good, but not Defensive Player of the Year standard. The Watts both play a position that is naturally going to attract attention, it's also a position that is even more prominent now than in Matthews era thanks to the proliferation of passing offense. Clay Matthews was an above average player for the duration of his long career. The fact that he wasn't a pass-rush OLB and later became the sort of Mike that doesn't really exist any more doesn't detract from what a special player he was. IMO he was every bit as good at what he did as either of the Watt brothers, he just played a far less prominent position that is never going to garner the attention of a pass-rushing specialist. By the time the Watt brothers are done playing, then yes, I think it's entirely probable that they'll be regarded as the finest set of brothers to play the game, but right now one of them is in his 5th year and I don't think you can realistically consider him alongside someone who played at a high level in something like 280 games over two decades. Any player with that resume at a skill position, a QB, or down lineman would be considered an All-time great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looks like no matter how Watson's court cases turn out, he us definitely done in Houston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiochas III Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not sure the praise they're getting. None of them have won the Superbowl.

Boo Khaki Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I thought that was an odd conversation to be having right after being papped oot as the No.1 seed playing at home. Fair fucks to him for being honest and answering the question, but I think that was a time for a generic 'not the time to be discussing that right now, I'm just disappointed and trying to deal with the emotions of this defeat' type non-answer. Certainly gives the impression that he's not entirely enthused about staying in GB, but that in itself could just be a reaction to the disappointment of last night. They're certainly in Cap trouble, so even if they don't tender Adams and let him walk something else is still going to have to give. I don't think the financials are bad enough and the team lacking in talent enough to require a full scorched earth rebuild, but I've seen this with the Chargers when you are trying to retool an 'almost' team while keeping a QB with a massive salary around. It doesn't really work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think Rodgers will stay and Adams will leave.Can't see Rodgers signing an extension though. Can probably get something ridiculous like 50M in Free Agency next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Aaron Rodgers still has the same number of SB rings as Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco and Nick Foles, and one fewer than both Mannings and Ben Roethlisberger. He's also played in the same number of SBs as Kerry Collins and Rex Grossman. Sum boi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
