Who Knew That Joe Flacco Had A Brother In The Nfl Prior To Him Being Cut Today

What are the Baltimore Ravens trying to do with Flacco, Jackson, and RG3?

I believe they are doing two things:Get as much as they can out of Flacco this year, maybe even next.The time they buy by having Flacco start for 1–2 years will allow Jackson to get familiar with the playbook and system of the Ravens. This playbook will be catered to his abilities so it will be different than the one Flacco is currently using. In an apprenticeship model like this, which has become commonplace in the NFL community recently for rookies, the rookie learns from the starter. However in this situation Flacco and Jackson play very different styles and this would be a difficult learning process if he were learning from him. This is where RG3 comes into play. He will be tasked to mentor Jackson during this transition period since their playing styles are similar.

Is Eli Manning (football player) right in saying that he's "in the same class" as Tom Brady (football player)?

Here's my prediction for the Manning side of this argument (courtesy of Mr. T in Rocky III):I am really concerned that Eli Manning may have been concussed in the Giants first preseason game. Here are Eli's stats: http://www.nfl.com/player/eliman... Here are Brady's: http://www.nfl.com/player/tombra... Last year Eli threw 31 TDs and 25 INTs. Tom Brady has thrown 114 TDs.... against his last 25 INTs... over the last four seasons.  Just saying.  So, basically: Other than the 83 extra touchdowns, it's really close between them. Manning had one big postseason -- 2007 -- but even in that Super Bowl year, he wasn't lights out in the playoffs, throwing for under 255 yards in all four games:http://www.pro-football-referenc... Keep in mind, he doesn't even win the Super Bowl is Asante Samuel doesn't drop an easy INT with 1:20 left... see it: OR if David Tyree, the fourth receiver on the NYG, doesn't make a ridiculous catch on an ill-advised prayer / quacking duck Manning throws totally up for grabs into coverage on the very next play: History has been rewritten as if Eli Manning went all Joe Montana on the Pats.  It wasn't that way, people. The Manning play was reminiscent of: But at least everyone agreed Bradshaw got lucky on that play! The NFL Network had the players vote on the best players in the NFL.  Brady was voted #1.  Eli Manning didn't make the top 100! Here's how Manning stacks up vs. other QBs currently starting in the NFL: Clearly better QBs:Brady, P. Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Vick. At best, he's #8 at QB in the league right now. And even at that spot, Matt Ryan, Tony Romo, Josh Freeman, Joe Flacco, Donovan McNabb, Sam Bradford, Jay Cutler and maybe even Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Matt Cassell and Carson Palmer could grumble.My closing argument is easy: Tom Brady is better because Giselle thinks so.Who could possibly argue?
