I realize that sacks weren't kept as a statistic until after he retired, but every move that a player has made on the field since the 60s has been cataloged. It seems feasable that someone would know how many QB sacks the man had.

According to the site I found, Deacon Jones unofficially had 173-1/2 sacks.  This places him 3rd behind Reggie White and Bruce Smith.

Yeah but the NFL decided to make Manning their Poster Child. So they say well look at all these records. Yeah and look at the recievers and the running back, he SHOULD have the records. He isn't anything special.

He was one of the first media personnel to really study the NFL Draft, back in 1979 when he first did his work, no one really studied the draft, he did a good job with it when he was a kid out of college and then his scouting reports became more popular as his information was correct and teams actually paid for his info on college prospects, I believe he was even hired by the Baltimore Colts.  A few years later he was hired by ESPN.  He was the first expert of the NFL draft and he's been doing it the longest.  Some people have their specialty and when ESPN isn't focused on the draft Mel spends the rest of the year scouting talent and studying prospects. So that's why he's the Draft Expert.

I think Romo has benefited from being on the sidelines for the last few years.  He has had time to learn from some good quarterbacks and also get a good handle on the playbook.  Judging by the way he's playing right now he is going to be a good quarterback for a while.  He is very mobile and he's giving the Cowboys another weapon...  something Bledsoe couldn't give them....

Probably...thats how many QBs are...just look at Eli Manning.

I think you're talking about the book called My name is Barry and I'm a jerk.  The way he quit the NFL was horrible, he completely screwed his teammates and his fans by not letting them know of his intensions to retire until right before the season began.  He's on my permanent sh*t list.

Their signing of Testaverde was a mystery.  Senior backup quarterbacks are like second coaches and maybe they brought him in to help Cassel.  Cassel has not been permitted to do much for the Patriots, but maybe they're trying to get him up to speed in case, Heaven forbid, something happened to Brady.  \nRemember that it was unthinkable that anything could happen to Bledsoe and the unknown Tom Brady came along and won the Super Bowl.  Maybe speeding up Cassel's training is insurance against something like that happening to Brady.

Julius Peppers.  His stats will never tell the story.  His teammates will reap the rewards of his greatness for a long time.  The amount of attention he deserves (and gets) allows his teammates to rack up stats.

Being a huge Steelers fan, I think he has great on field potential, but these mishaps are definatly reason for concern.  His 1st arrest for disorderly conduct, i'd say, isn't to much to worry about (whatever, he was drunk on a holiday weekend- so was I), but the latest domestic violence charge for alledgedly hitting the mother of his children, would be something the Steelers should look into more.  I'd like them to give him a last chance and let him prove what he can do on the field, but excessively warn him about the consequences for his actions.

Im sure there have been some..They always have players that were QBs and Rbs in college/highschool play WR and defense in the NFL..im sure there has been a player that went from safety to WR...Im not sure of any specific players though.

I agree that he is playing for Marino's record now.  As long as he is still active, Green Bay will not be able to groom a new quarterback, which they desperately need to do.  The spectacle that he pulled last year keeping the team hanging while he made up his mind whether or  not to play this year was ridiculous.

Stats don't really matter. Favre threw for the 3rd most yards last year but the Packers were 4-12. Manning threw 49 tds and...um...o ya nothing done in the post season. Those are just a few examples that prove my point.\n\nSo you have to weight Championships alot for the Best QB of all time.  If Marino won just one Superbowl, he would be.  If he had won two or more, hands down Marino is the best Qb. But it never happened so he forever will be know as the best QB not to win a Superbowl.\nIt is funny to see how different QBs are looked at and see that if the won/lost the Superbowl how they would be looked at now.  One big one is Jim Kelly.  If he and the Bills had won those 4 SBs(Superbowls) he would be easy HOF and maybe considered One of the best QBs of all-time.  At least one would have helped him.  If the Bills would have at least won the last 2 of the 4, Troy Aikman would be a nobody.  Yes, he was "good" but many people could have been in that situation.  I'm not saying I could do it, maybe, no I couldn't.  But da Bears of 85 I sure could have won with. And yes if McMahon played in the Dolphin game they still would have lost.\nOk enough babblying from me.  \n\nSo the Best QBs has to come down to,\nBig Ben-1 (My name is Ben, so I liked him.  I never thought he'd win a superbowl so soon though)\nTom Brady-3 (unfortunatly)\nJohn Elway-2 (I hate him)\nBrett Farve-1(I hate him even though he plays on the Pack)\nTroy Aikman-3 (A cheerleader could do as good as him)\nSteve Young-1 (for some reason I thought he won more)\nJoe Montana-4 (Ok, thats why)\nJim Pluckett-2 (Didn't matter what city he played in he still won)\nTerry Bradshaw-4 (and still balding)\nRoger Staubach-2 (Aikman 3, Staubach 2, Good debate for best Cowboy QB.)\nBob Greise-2 (17-0, thats all that I can say)\nJohnny Unitas-1 (47 games in row with a TD pass, crazy)\nBart Starr-2 (9-1 in the postseason and 4 championships before the Superbowl came.)\nNo Namath, I guarrantee that he isn't the best and that I can't spell.\n\nIt's your pick but my top five are:\n5. John Elway\n4. Terry Bradshaw\n3. Tom Brady\n2.  Joe Montana\nAnd the Best QB ever is...\n1. Bart Starr\n\nJust imagine if he played today. What would he do?\n\nI hope I helped you out.

Bill Coward is a schmuck. He's gonna retire at the end of the year... he should have retired after the super bowl... he's in the last year of his contract, he's gonna finish 3-13 and not be offered a contract after this season. From Hero to Zero to Coward. Quite the season!

hell yeah he had hall of fame career b4 the roids issues.. Just look at all the numbers and gold gloves he putting when he was with Pirates.. I think he could of retired with them and still would of been considered for the hall of fame.. The numbers he has put up since joining the Giants are ridiculous!!!!! the guy always had pop in the bat and if he took the roids it only made him stronger and thats it.. his hand eye cordnation is out of this world and before the bad knees his defense was top of the line

It all boils down to his health.  If he can stay healthy for a whole season he can be a game changer.  He has developed over the years, but his injuries haven't allow him to show his full potential.  We know he wont be anywhere near the passing QB of a Manning or Brady, but he can be a heck of a QB and lead his team to a Super Bowl which is all that matters.

I hadn't heard he was considering it.\nInteresting.  I agree it'd be dumb. \nNot only is USC as close to a dynasty as there is in college football, but he already tried the NFL and didn't do so great.   He should just stick to what works.

Mike's Defense couldn't even begin to approach Robinson's. The idea of that is absurd. Brooks Robinson was a defensive phenom the likes of which has not been seen since. We are talking about a man who perfected the barehanded fielding of a bunt and throwing to first in the same motion. This is the man who nearly single  handedly won the 1970 world series with his dazzling display of defense. The fewest errors Schmidt committed in over 100 game in a season was 15. He committed as many as 27. The most Brooks committed in over 100 game in a season was 18. In my mind it is not even close. Brooks is the greatest hands down. As far as hitters at third Pie Trainer was a much better hitter than Mike and a better fielder. Mike is not rated among the top fielding third basement at all by most experts of the game.
