QBs with fewer than 2 playoff wins
Mafioso replied to Bleeding Bills Blue's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Despite the knocks on Cousins, I really like his story... People forget that Cousins was a 4th round pick (drafted by the same team as RG3) and was a 2 star recruit coming out of high school...he wasn't expected to amount to much (if anything) in the NFL, unlike others on the list in this thread. Michigan State was the only Power 5 school to offer him (at the last minute)...a team that already had Brian Hoyer and Nick Foles on the roster. Cousins ultimately beat out Foles who transferred to Arizona. What he has accomplished in his career despite obvious athletic limitations is amazing. He had to sit behind RG3 for years before finally beating him out...then had to play two years on the Franchise Tag before finally getting the monster deal with Minnesota. Good for him. -
Wow...I expected the Lions to have the inside track with Saleh since he grew up in Dearborn, Michigan and still has family there. Dearborn is within spitting distance of the Lions’ practice facility in Allen Park. The Lions are an atrocious organization but I’m not sure the Jets are much better. Interesting to say the least...

Forgotten cautionary tales of Reich's Colts

Diggs looked like he’s dancing just fine! -
I don't believe there is some sort of conspiracy going on but I definitely agree that NFL officials have made some horrible calls...even with replay. The Lions game yesterday comes to mind...WR clearly had possession with both toes dragging (could see the rubber pellets fly up) and it was called incomplete on the field. The Lions challenged it and the ref ultimately said the call on the field stands, incomplete! The commentators and on air rules analyst were completely baffled as to how it wasn't changed to a completed catch after replay.

I thought it was good too but depth perception may have been off due to the camera angle. Obviously, the official standing directly under the upright had a better view than any of us or the cameras.
