Matt Ryan - If for no other reason than his nickname is Matty Ice. This is presumably because he's ice cold in big games and doesn't get rattled. Has taken his team to 1 playoff game and got absolutely boat raced. Easy on the ice, literally.
Joe Flacco - I can't give credit where it's due to the person who stated it. It was noted that with being 6'5, having a strong arm and agile for his size, he has all of the intangibles. Do you know what's better than intangible? TANGIBLES.
Alex Smith - Here's a former #1 overall pick who has been in the league 7 years....7 horrible years. Now he's leading a team that's 7-1 and I'm hearing he's hit his stride. If you married someone who couldn't cook anything better than ramen noodles for 7 years, then one day they surprised you with hamburger helper....would you say it's time to host a large dinner party? I didn't think so
Tony Romo - He, like Flacco, puts up numbers to keep the fantasy players happy and keep the Cowboy fans groaning. Don't trust him with your wife, kids or the ball in the 4th quarter. I asked one of my cohorts to list their top 5 suspect qb's and he purposely listed Romo twice....says alot
Tim Tebow - We all know Tebow isn't elite. He's not even approaching avg. Ok, let's be honest, he'd have to improve to get to not very good. I think he's almost at the point where he'd have to consider switching positions. I can honestly say he may be the only NFL starting qb that I wouldn't want qb-ing my flag football team.
on matt ryan - maybe they call him that due to his love for natty ice.
ReplyDeleteon joe flacco - you stole my tangibles quote.
on alex smith - you're really going to compare alex smith to ramen noodles?
on tony romo - sustained.
on tim tebow - see joe flacco's 'tangibles' quote.
I just borrowed the quote without giving credit. I couldn't think of anything lower than ramen noodles to compare him to....so yes, noodles it is
