Dilfer making himself look like a tool... again...

[MalFunkShun]

If we call the current NFL a quarterback-driven league, the group of young quarterbacks coming up dictates that it'll be this way for quite a while. For me, it really starts with the under age 27 group. If you consider Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers the elite older group, you could easily point to 10 young starters in an under-27 group that will see a few members rise to the elite level. But the question I hear often isn't just about who is the best among the younger guys, it's about who could rise the highest. It's a phrase you hear a lot in baseball: Who has the highest ceiling?

So let's take a shot, but first add a little context.

As people see all this success from the younger guys, I think they need to wrap their heads around some reasons it has happened. It starts with the way the college and even high school game translates to the pro game.

Apologies for it being slightly difficult to read. I cleaned it up as best I could.

I swear after all the love Newton has gotten after a loss is sick. I really hope the pack spike this kid into next year.

watch the game...he played pretty ****ing well for his first time out. he will struggle, but he has a pretty good OL, a great running game, and a solid WR with 2 damn good TE. He fell into a pretty good situation. Newton didn't cost the Panthers that game.

I guess I don't see what Dilfer said that would make him a tool...other than that Sanchez is the 2nd best QB up and coming (although he looked improved against the Cowboys)

I didn't find any problem with that article. Might not be perfect but nothing to make him sound like a tool.

I dunno, I suppose using himself as an example multiple times to describe how these guys are going to be "elite" makes him a tool in my book.

That and swinging on Sanchez's nuts or equating him to the football Jeter.. Put him on the Seahawks/Browns/Bungles and see if he shows to have such a high ceiling... Flacco is wayyyy too low also.

I'll just make my response simple: yes Dilfer is a tool. Still the worst QB ever, in my opinion, to have a Super Bowl ring. Rode his defenses' coat-tails for 16 games and the playoffs.

If memory serves, Tony Banks was the starter at first. When he failed, they switched to Dilfer.
