yep 2 rings, 3 afc champs. 92 life passer rating but only 2 pro bowls lol. so much disrespect and it's like that with every afcn qb within the past 5-6 years. I think most of it has to do with some of the most dominant defenses this game has ever seen overshadowing guys like bb, flacco, Dalton isn't terrible either. It was that way back when we had air mcnair and the bungles had carson as well...
Absolutely. The defenses in the AFC have been monsters. Tho in the NFC you do have great defensive players, but typically the rest of the D will suck. Demarcus Ware neone? But it is harder to compare AFC and NFC defenses. NFC qb's are ridiculous. Rogers, Brees, Capernick(I think he'll be a fluke) Matt Ryan, Newton, and Eli Manning. There's some really good QB's across the way.
I really don't have much beef with BB not getting pro bowls. He has to work against Brady and Manning, and imho this coming year, Luck. Competing for AFC pro bowl QB is a mo fo. But he still shines. And I'll send Eli more love, he's incredibly underrated too. 2 rings, beat the only ever 18-0 team, beat Brady 2x in the super bowl. (I still consider Brady to be the best in the NFL, outside of his cheating BS) Eli just does so bad in the regular seasons that people dis him. But here's a simple comparison that rates him perfectly. Matt Ryan vs Eli. Ryan kicks ass all season, and chokes when it's important. Manning, doesn't.
