I'd love for you to back up your assertion that he's top 10ish for his career with any sort of objective metric.

I already gave you the players top 100 perspective.

Pro Bowl:
2012: 1 of 11 (last NFL alternate so you could argue as low as 11th)
2013: 1 of 6 originally selected
2014: 1 of 6 originally selected
2015: 1 of 6 originally selected, starter
2016: Not selected
2017: 1 of 6 originally selected
2018: 1 of 12 (first NFC alternate, so you could argue as low as 10th)
2019: 1 of 6 originally selected, selected as starter
2020: 1 of 6 originally selected
2021: 1 of 10 (second NFC alternate, you could argue as low as 10th)

Brady has been to 9 Pro Bowls in that time. Rodgers has been to 8. Brees went to 7 in his 9 years of this span.

Big Ben went to 6...total in his career. Matt Ryan's been to 4 total. Mahomes has been to 4 straight. Eli went to 4 total. Lamar's been to 2 in 4 seasons. Cam made 3. Matt Stafford and Josh Allen have been to 1.

Russ has firmly been inside the top 10 the vast majority of his career, and is probably around an average of the 5th best QB at any given point in his career. I get you don't like the guy and that's fine. He's not especially likable.

I doubt you have any real argument for his as "top 10ish" for his career. You certainly don't have any argument for "pretty good at best". At his best he's absolutely the elite of the elite. I agree he's not been that consistently. But he's been a lot better than pretty good, and certainly better than pretty good at best.

Good enough to win a SB with an elite defense. Good enough to also lose a SB with an elite defense. Their playoff record since then was laughable with wins against very suspect teams, as was pointed out. Top-10 during his era, yes, but I would have him closer to 10 than 1. I don't think he's HOF material at all, but I seem to have higher standards than many people because I also think Eli should not get in and that more than half the guys in Halls of Fame are not really deserving.

Eli shouldn't be near the HOF but he won the Super Bowl twice! And New Yawk

Holy shit. This is fucking embarassing.

I think that whoever takes it, the first call should be to Schotty or Bevel. Someone that knows what they are getting into, and that has dealt with Russ before, when he was good. It’s a freak show. I don’t know if Sean Payton is gonna want to sign up for that…

My guess it’s going to be Dan Quinn HC and Schotty OC. They both are on the Cowboys coaching staff and it makes too much sense. Denver has an elite defense (Russ fucked them over early with shit field position and they gave up yesterday) and Russ’s best years were with Schotty calling playing.

Sean Payton isn’t a big enough of an idiot to take over that dumpster fire. He will get paid handsomely wherever he coaches next, he does not want to go to that situation in Denver unless he’s pulling a Tyrone Willingham and just collecting a check.

Russ gets this year as bad as he has been because of his overall body of work but if he has another year even close to this with a brand new staff then he might not be playing in the NFL in a couple of years.

He will get 1 more year but if he is even remotely close to this year you have to cut him. I think Payton wants the Chargers job. They aren't going anywhere big with Staley. This is so depressing to look at if you are a Broncos fan. The extension hasn't even started.

Seahawks aren't much better off than Denver. Schneider isn't drafting them another SB defense. Flash in the pan.

SF is a vastly superior organization. So is LA.

The Rams are toast. Donald is old and they have no draft picks. The 49ers don't have a QB and don't have a replacement for DeMeco Ryans. Seahawks are winning the the division next year.

I never saw this. This is hilarious.
