Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Sneakylong

professor As if there's some sort of legacy in Chicago as it relates to a quarterback?

Yeah, low bar for sure. Jim McMahon comes to mind since he won a Super Bowl.

Sneakylong eah, low bar for sure. Jim McMahon comes to mind since he won a Super Bowl.

Oh, thought he was a tight end. LOL

Sneakylong Jim McMahon

That guy was fun to watch. Those crazy eyes!
......and The Fridge - '85 Bears!

Sneakylong

propman He definitely makes throws that very few can.
As a bear fan, if he can only be more consistent, the sky's the limit.

Yeah, once he gets the layups down he’ll be even better. It’s also possible that he’ll always struggle with the easy throws, but will thrive on the off schedule athletic throws. Time will tell.

propman

McMahon best known qb in Chgo. He was alot of fun to watch but he was injured so often.
Sometimes his being "macho" actually got him hurt and of course, did little good for the team.

propman

A few weeks back, for grins, I looked up McMahon's stats. Not impressive at all. I was kinda of surprised.
That being said, he is still revered in Chgo because he was the qb on a SB team. He deserved the SB MVP imo.

professor

propman He deserved the SB MVP imo.

LOL Nah, that belonged to Buddy Ryan!

professor

propman No proof of this but have the suspicion that alot of criticism of him is related to color of his skin.

I cannot contest such a statement but would think we’d be beyond that…?
Guess not when the equity-established Rooney Rule remains a joke - even here.

propman

professor I agree "you would think".
Unfortunately I see and hear it occassionly in social settings and in rare cases, on brain numbing sports talk.
Is it widespread? No.
Just my experience living in Chgo and Chgo area my whole life.

propman

professor problem was McMahon acted as if he was an off tackle.

I live outside of Philly. Best one knows their place and space there. And it makes no sense whatsoever! Randall Cunningham, Rodney Peete, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, and now Jalen Hurts. All the 'Philly Experts' know that missing piece of his game... Didn't matter his performance that garnered him a Super Bowl MVP. That was simply an anomaly, right? LOL

Yah, he was definitely off... 😏

propman

Jax vs Buff. Good watching. Like both QBs.

Swarthmore?

professor

sdandrea1 Swarthmore?

Great town!

propman

McNabb, saw him in high school. Played for maybe the best all time high school in Illinois, Mt. Carmel. Him and Simeon Rice.

Threadjack. My grandfather (Dad's side) emigrated from Italy in 1901. They settled in Patton, near Altoona. His 9 kids mostly settled in Spangler/Barnsboro, but Uncle Guido moved to Swarthmore and opened an insurance agency. My Dad went the military route and never went back to PA.

Bills prevail. I thought we might see OT, but that pickoff ended it.

loathe the Bills

I use to feel sorry for them during the 4 lost Super Bowls era.🤣

sdandrea1 Hard to dislike Josh Allen, must be a border thing.

I actually do like Allen. He's a class guy
