QBs will be wearing flags in no time. As I said earlier, rewriting record books isn't hard now. It's a weak comparison with new pansy rules. When Allen gets one SB. Then he can be part of the conversation. ( I love sports arguments lol. Their circular, pointless and have no real answer) This is just crazy talk. Josh has taken hits that would KO most QBs and Josh runs the ball like Kelly could only dream of and welcomes the hits. Like I said, Nostalgia is a seductive liar and is a well known quote.

JMM Posted December 17 Posted December 17 As of NOW, it's Bruce. Down the line, assuming he continues this path, it will be Josh. Quote
DCofNC Posted December 17 Posted December 17 Bruce was great, OJ is a legend and neither are above JA. Quote
SinceThe70s Posted December 17 Posted December 17 43 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: No he shouldn’t. He was very intentionally left off the list. He was great. The idea of Jim Kelly is much better than the player. He was a great player in his era. He was, in his era, what Goff or Hurts is now. He was a pro bowl guy but never once considered the “best in the business.” He won a lot. He belongs in the HOF. He’s a top 25ish all-time QB. As a player, he is not in the conversation with those 3. Honestly, there are multiple guys that are between 3 and Kelly. Comparing Kelly to Goff and Hurts makes no sense to me. Do you have Goff and Hurts in the Hall of Fame? Not saying Kelly is a top 3 Bill but imo if you're gonna do a best player in history you absolutely have to consider the era they played in. Quote

What a gigantic load of horseshlt. Did you see the shot he took on the chin just last night from a guys crown who had a full speed running start at him from 15-20 yrds? Rod Woodson used to end QB's with shots that were not nearly as lethal as that one, yet Allen ripped off a 60+ yrd throw in the face of it and then got up and went back to the huddle like it was a freaking mosquito bite. There is no era in the history of football which this boy couldn't have handled. 2 3 Quote

He did things ive never seen any RB do before on film or otherwise. He was a unique talent who happened to be on a team that didn't have much else other than him for most of his career. Agree and my main argument for him is he has no comp player in the history of the game. One of one. 1 Quote

That's precisely what makes him the unicorn and alien he is. 3 1 1 Quote

And obviously he kept playing. So it wasn't a big deal. Also, he'd be getting in more trouble if he kept running up field in Kelly's era, obviously. I guarantee you there isnt a ex pro who disagrees with me. They know these new guys have it way too easy. Don't tell me- well so and so praised this or that modern jock. Of course they did.

It was just understood that you try and injure the QB when you hit him. Which was largely ok for most of the games existence. Almost promoted. I don’t think it’s a coincidence we are seeing so many dual threat QB’s emerge when you really can’t hit them. I’m sure Allen would still be great and figure it out it just wouldn’t be the same is all. Quote

Doesn't make me wrong. And most everyone here just succumbs to the latest and greatest. Here's the thing. OJs 62 TDs. He worked a hell of alot harder to get those then Josh did to get 63. You can't argue with that. It was far less stress and strain for Josh. Far less an accomplishment. There is no argument. It's absolute fact that todays players don't have half the adversity on the field that they did between 65-2000. Their stats are irrelevant to the actual accomplishments or importance within the sport. Do I still kind of like it? Yeah. Am I somewhat impressed? Sure, some. But don't you dare compare these current homogenized pansies to the real tough guys of before. 2 Quote

Anyone who thinks Josh couldn't play when it was still open season on QBs needs to listen to Steve Young talk about Josh. He's a big fan of Josh and his talent and I think it's because he sees a lot of his game in Josh and has said Josh is bigger, faster, and stronger than he is. Edited December 17 by Billz4ever 1 Quote

Josh just has 4 Super Bowls to play horrible in and lose to surpass Jimbo. Fun fact, Josh already has 5 more TD’s in the playoffs than Kelly and 24 less INT’s. 1 1 Quote
