Vic picks top 5 NFL Quarterbacks

[arrellbee]

There is a mailbag by a Jaguars.com senior sports editor, Vic Ketchman. Besides comments about the Jaguars, he has some very interesting comments that apply to NFL in general and really has a remarkably sensible view of salary cap management. Miguel has referenced his work - that's where I first found out about the site.

At any rate, the reason for this post is to refer to an answer that I found kind of interesting.

Chris from Crestview, FL: I assume your QB rankings have Brady at the top, but who do you think are the top five guys in the league?
Vic: 1. Tom Brady, 6. Peyton Manning, 7. Carson Palmer, 8. Trent Green, 9. (tie) Ben Roethlisberger and Jake Delhomme.

Vic's comment is hilarious. Why do we have to have a wRONg Borges and Jax gets a guy like Vic?

Was that gap a misprint or a statement??? Tommy appears to dominate Vic's top 5.

Thank god! For a moment there, I was starting to think my glaucoma herbal remedy was starting to affect my reading comprehension.

Kay... so Brady is #1 thru #5 and Paymetons is #6. I can live with that.

The Cowher anecdote regarding “circumcising the rule†was priceless, laughed my arse off.

Derek from Lehigh, FL: What is your take on no forcible hitting below the quarterbacks' knees (the Carson Palmer rule)?
Vic: As I said, all they did was lengthen the quarterback's skirt. You know what's going to happen. We all know what's going to happen. In some game next season, on the dramatic final play of the game the quarterback is going to throw incomplete or be intercepted in the end zone and everyone's going to think the game is over, but then we'll see this little yellow flag lying on the ground next to where the quarterback is standing. The official will invoke the “Carson Palmer rule,†then TV will show us the replay of a defensive lineman reaching out and tapping the quarterback's big toe. Everyone will cry outrage and accuse the officials of cheating. Will it be the officials' fault? No way. The league adopted another sissy rule this week that will make the game more difficult to be officiated and will, no doubt, cause fans to be more frustrated, and the crazy part is that the “Carson Palmer rule†wouldn't even have been used on the Carson Palmer play.

I like his response on this one with one minor correction. Rather than the "Carson Palmer rule", I will always think of it my mind as the "Kimo von Oelhoffen rule".

Another great read from Vic -- the Cowher story is priceless!

I really like the stuff he writes. He is very supportive of the Pats' way of doing things, which is good to see.
