The great Skip Bayless everybody

[Legatron4]

Getting paid to troll since 92...or whenever he started gracing espn with his presence.

I had to look. Oh, boy, what a moron.

I don't normally say many bad things about writers although I've called Bernie a baby several times. But whenever I hear his name I think of the word bloviate for some reason.

That was in 2012 though, during RG3s rookie season. A lot easier to say that then.

I'm a moronanis too, because I didn't notice that.

Doh! I didn't notice that either. Still, it's always a treat to see him proven wrong lol

What I find funny is how there have been lot of people here that insist Luck isn't anything special.

Here's the 2014 strength of schedule for each NFL team (Combined 2013 record of all 16 opponents, combined winning percentage)

1. Oakland Raiders: 148-108, .578

2. Denver Broncos: 146-110, .570

3. St. Louis Rams: 144-111-1, .564

32. Indianapolis Colts: 110-146, .430 One thing's for sure, he's hell on inferior opponents.

You have to remember that Bayless is the ONE writer in Chicago during the Jordan era who would openly rip on MJ. He found all kinds of reasons to criticize the best NBA player ever. Biggest hack in the history of journalism, but his schtick has made him millions.

What do you mean by special? I think he's a top 10 QB but I wouldn't call him special. But the phrase "anything special" could also mean average or mediocre so I'm not really sure what you mean.

I think he's a good QB but is a bit overhyped. Here are my top 10 QBs:
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Peyton Manning
3. Tom Brady
4. Drew Brees
5. Ben Roethlisberger
6. Philip Rivers
7. Tony Romo
8. Andrew Luck
9. Russell Wilson
10. Matt Ryan

I didn't know Luck was solely responsible for Indy's wins? He has no O line, not much of a running game, and a mediocre defense.

I won't ever put Russell Wilson in my top 10 anything. He's a perfect system QB. But I really don't think he's all that great.

If you're top 10 in the NFL, I'd call you special. I'd definitely put him ahead of Romo and maybe Rivers, but that's not really that important. He's in the top 10, IMO.

RG3 stock was way up back in 2012. Skip is always a moron though.

I think Luck is a little hyped, but still the best QB of his group. Has a chance to really emerge when playoffs roll around.

 

[SierraRam]

Me neither. He's a good QB but he's not "special" yet. My point was he has plenty of opportunities to get well, and to his credit, he takes advantage of them. Titans X2, Jags X2, Houston X2, sweet! His stats sparkle against their tough division rivals.

Back to topic: Is he better than RG3? Yes. Is Bayless an idiot? Hell yes.

Nah. Healthy Rivers is underrated as hell. He's a brilliant presnap QB. Romo is also a better QB. Luck can get there but those guys are more mentally mature and that makes a big difference. Luck has lucked out(no pun intended) with a really easy division and schedule the past few years.

He's a top 10 QB. Guy has his faults but he has a shaky OL, lacks weapons at WR/TE and is still playing well.

I used to think the same thing about this guy, but one thing I know is he would have made this Rams squad a team that nobody would want to mess with come playoff time this year.

Bayless = Bernie on the national stage...Presumptive, prone to knee jerk reactions and just plain generally irritating..(At least to me)...

 

[Mojo Ram]

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Peyton Manning
3. Tom Brady
4. Drew Brees
5. Ben Roethlisberger
6. Philip Rivers
7. Tony Romo
8. Andrew Luck
9. Russell Wilson
10. Matt Ryan

Looks good to me, but i'm putting Romo down there with Matt Ryan and Wilson. Luck belongs right around Rivers and above Romo.

A.Rodgers has been the best QB in the league for a few seasons now.
