    • I happen to agree with Ben. Flutie is the best quarterback ever to play in the league. Unfortunately, that League is the CFL, not the NFL.

          • Well, Albert's never seen him play in the CFL. He has no idea what Flutie can do. He believes that 38 year old Flutie is as good as it gets.

              But he was wasted in the CFL only because none of the NFL teams would give him a chance to demonstrate his awesomeness...

              • The first preseason game, Ryan had the Cowboys come out in a "Flex" defense, as an acknowledgment and tribute to Landry. I thought that was way cool. I like this Ryan.

                        • Ben, you should be a huge Leaf fan. He's basically responsible personally for the Chargers' current success. If it weren't for him, the Chargers would've won more games and not had all those high draft picks, and Rivers would be a Chief now or something like that.

                            What, was he a football player? Never heard of him. Should I know him? Was he good or something?

                              • The Chargers traded up to draft Ryan Leaf #2 overall after Peyton Manning in 1988.

                                Entering the 1998 draft, Manning and Leaf were widely considered to be the two best players available, and scouts and analysts debated whether Leaf or Manning should be selected first. Many advocated for Leaf and his stronger arm, while others saw Manning as the more mature player. However, the differences in potential between the two seemed small enough that most observers expected it would not greatly matter whether a team selected Manning or Leaf. The San Diego Chargers had the third pick of the draft, but traded two first round picks, a second round pick, and four time Pro Bowler Eric Metcalf to the Arizona Cardinals to move up one spot and guarantee that the team would get one of the two quarterbacks.[8]

                                On draft day Manning was selected first by the Indianapolis Colts and Leaf was selected second by the Chargers.
                                Ryan Leaf turned out to be horrendous and was out of the league within a couple years. Million-dollar arm, two-bit brain.
                                Just as amazing is that the Cardinals coundn't leverage that trade into turning their sorry franchise around.
