Green Bay Packers 20 yrs now of elite QB play

[El Duderino]

The older guys on this board (PP, VV), Pliska's dad, etc.; have worse perspective than the younger guys. Literally half the starting QB's in the league right now or more have a QB rating that equals or surpasses Favre's career number.

As big of a fan of Rodgers as i am, i do think people need to factor in the way football is today when say stats are thrown out about how high Rodgers career passer rating is. I made a post in another thread about Rodgers career stats that even just back in the early to mid-90's, a QB posting a 100 or higher passer rating for a season was extremely rare, last year 6 quarterbacks passed the 100 threshold. Even a 90 passer rating wasn't that common. In 1996 when Favre was the MVP, only he and Steve Young had a passer rating above 90, so far this year 15 QB's are 90 or above.

Go back into the 70's or 80's and even HOF quarterbacks would generally only have a QB rating in the 80's during their prime years. Hell, Joe Montana is often viewed as the best QB ever and he had 9 seasons with a QB rating in the 80's and only 5 seasons with a rating 90 or higher. Dan Fouts is in the HOF and his career passer rating of only 80.2 is hard to image when watch football today. HOF quarterback Jim Kelly has a career QB rating of 84.4 and this year 20 quarterbacks have a higher rating than that.

For a variety of reasons, NFL quarterbacks of today have it quite a bit easier than QB's of the past did to put up gaudy stats and stay healthy so as to be effective longer.

PM me her name ^

It was more tongue in cheek. I think I once did, but it was more of a joke as in "I have this stupid fact so I clearly know you!"

Who is Pliska's dad?

That would be Newbz's dad.

What year did you graduate from AHS?

My two roommates are '07 AHS.

[Wilford Brimley]

My two roommates are '07 AHS.

Where do you go?

[RiotPunch]

UW-Milwaukee. Live near Comet Cafe.

[Wilford Brimley]

Gotcha, I've probably heard their names even though a lot of AHS kids went to UWM.

[trwi7]

I think I hooked up with a girl from Arrowhead or something...

I could believe it. I could think of a few girls who would probably sleep with you.

[Kerb Hohl]

It was a poorly crafted joke. Damnit. Sounded worse on the internetz.

[Wilford Brimley]

Is it true that AHS had the rep of girls being easy?

Is it true that AHS had the rep of girls being easy?

There were some in my class that were incredibly easy.

[Kerb Hohl]

Aren't they all "easy" for you twirlz?

[Turk Nowitzki]

I can't believe I just read 3 pages of Twirlz and Brimley reminiscing about high school and kind of enjoyed it.

I heard Bisbee was weird and had chickens or something. I had Drenzek for Bio who was awful and flirted with a hot chick in the front row all class.

Dude is weird. We had assigned seats in his class so I'm in the last row one seat from the end so I'm way the **** away. So the dude gives lectures almost every day and when he gives a lecture, he mumbles. I doubt somebody sitting in the second row right in the middle would be able to understand what he was saying so we're all **** in the back row because not only does he mumble, he talks quietly. So how the **** are we supposed to take notes on your lectures when we can't understand you?

Anyways, one day I was asking somebody in front of me if she understood what he just said. She said no and while I'm asking her he looks over to me and says Mr. (my last name) then he puts his hands next to his eyes and pushes them forward telling me to focus. I'm like WTF? I'm focused, I just can't understand a **** word you're saying.

Also, like 15 kids in my class got busted for taking the answers to one of his test and using them. He found out about it. Glad I wasn't one of them.

[Wilford Brimley]

Glad we could help, Turk.

I've only cheated twice in my life. Once was a 2nd grade quiz in Science. (WTF gives quizzes to 8 year old kids??) There was a picture of a graduated cylinder and you had to write what the object was. I blanked on the name, so I looked at the kid 's paper next to me, knowing full well it was "cheating." Kid was asian, too.

Once I brought a cheatsheet in to a math test filled with a bunch of formulas that I didn't memorize. Everyone got a C on the test, I got an A. Afterwards, the teacher pulled me aside and told me "good job, this was a difficult test, you did well."

I didn't feel bad, especially when I ended up getting a D in the class anyways and retook it that summer.

[trwi7]

Was that math test in high school? What teacher was it?

[Wilford Brimley]

Yeah it was AHS. I honestly dont remember her name, but it was a Functions class in 10th grade. She had shoulder length, curly hair.
