Quote:Here's 1 example:

 

Let's say that team is playing their hated rival in the last game of the season. If your rival, let's say Indy or Tennessee, gets to draft a once in a generation quarterback if they lose to you and your team is 4-11 and going nowhere. In this instance, it is in the best long-term interests of that team to lose. That doesn't mean a fan should root against their team as the game is being played, however they should be happy that their rival won't likely be beating up on them for the next 10 years. Nobody remembers these meaningless games anyway. To say a win gives a 5-11 team momentum going into the next season is hogwash. 

there's that term again....

 

once in a generation...

 

 

I'm sick of it.... College pumps out kids every year. Left and right. QBs a dozen of em every year. Some pan out some don't. Some are selected 1st overall (Manning), some are 3rd round (Wilson), some 6th round (Brady).... some even Undrafted (Romo)

 

Luck isn't some once in a generation QB. He's just another guy who throws the ball really well.

The once-in-a-generation crap is stupid. Because there are almost always 2 QBs relatively close in age playing elite level football in the NFL.

 

A generation is every 30 years. 30!!!!

 

I don't think even Brady can be considered that. There are similar QBs to come out before him, just a few years, and after him by much less than 30.

 

And in another 10 years, there'll probably be someone better than Luck or Brady.

Hell, maybe Wentz.
