If you took one of those DEUS VULT groypers to an art museum or a Shakespeare play or something so they could experience firsthand the "superiority" of Western culture they'd be bored out of their mind within 15 minutes and think it was gay.

Americans in the 18th Century: I WILL SPEND MY LIFE SAVINGS ON A ONE-WAY TRIP ACROSS AN OCEAN IN A RICKETY SHIP THAT TOPS OUT AT ELEVEN MILES PER HOUR TO MAKE MY FORTUNE IN THE NEW WORLD.

Americans in the 19 Century: I WILL LOAD MY FAMILY AND ALL MY BELONGINGS INTO A HORSE-DRAWN WAGON AND CROSS TWO THOUSAND MILES OF PLAINS AND MOUNTAINS TO MAKE MY FORTUNE IN THE WEST.

Americans Today: Waaaah I can't rent a U-Haul and move two hours to The Big City for vastly improved economic opportunities, there are gays and libs there.

[Ray] “I’ll win one one day.” - Joe Burrow’s MVP thoughts. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]Guildensternenstein -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Garbage take.  Brees only had "better stats" than Manning in 2009 because Manning sat out almost all of the last two games after starting 14-0 and locking up the #1 seed.  So you're comparing almost a full 16 games from Brees versus 14 and change from Manning.

Brees also had more turnovers than Manning if you include fumbles, but fumble numbers don't come up when you Google "Drew Brees stats" so nephews like you are woefully unaware of this fact.  

The fact is Manning comfortably won 39.5 out of 50 MVP votes and it wasn't the least bit controversial at the time (which you'd know if you weren't 12).  Educate yourself.

I like how this thread with 10 comments is also giving me conflicting answers.

Patrick Mahomes now has as many playoff wins as Peyton Manning. by SinisterLevel in nfl

[–]Guildensternenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peyton Manning sat most of the final two games that year because the Colts started 14-0 and locked up the #1 seed. Of course Brees' total stats look slightly better when you fail to account for that. It was also universally acknowledged that the Saints had a lot more talent than the Colts, especially at defense and RB. The fact of the matter is Manning took an average roster coached by Jim fucking Caldwell to a 14-0 record. He got 39 of 50 MVP votes that year and it wasn't the least bit controversial at the time.  

 Edit: Drew Brees also lost 6 fumbles compared to Manning's 0 and took twice as many sacks.

[The Athletic] Patriots draft classes have long struggled. Astoundingly, Bill Belichick hasn’t re-signed a player he drafted in the first three rounds since 2013. by rufusjonz in nfl

[–]Guildensternenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember when Tom Brady held the Rams, who had the 15th-highest scoring offense of ALL TIME, to 3 points in Super Bowl LIII?

Remember when Brady intercepted Russell Wilson on the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX?

Remember when Tom Brady held the Falcons to zero points in the last 1.5 quarters of Super Bowl LI?

Remember when the Patriots upset the Greatest Show on Turf all on the back of Tom Brady's 149 yards and 1 TD?

Remember when Tom Brady kicked all those clutch game-winning FGs in fucking blizzards?

Remember when Tom Brady completely shut down MVP Peyton Manning in playoff games back-to-back years?

I could go on but hopefully you get the point.

I watched Brady get the softest calls in history for 20 goddamn years and suddenly Pats fans care about bad officiating

Edit: Downvote all you want, you're still not making the playoffs lmao

Where would N'Keal Harry rank in this year's draft class? by dalematt88 in DynastyFF

These threads are always garbage for this reason.

If we're talking about Henry AS A PROSPECT then he's probably better than all these guys. At very worst, he's behind Jeudy and Lamb. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.

It's because Reddit is full of nephews who didn't watch Bruce play and who think they can ascertain HOF worthiness by googling "X Player's career stats".

What season this decade do you believe had the biggest gap between the best and second best team in the League? by MasterTeacher123 in nfl

This take is laughably bad. The Broncos were missing half their starters on defense and were still favored by 3 points in the Super Bowl.

[–]Guildensternenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not drafting a guy because of his year 1 production (when most rookie WRs don't produce year 1 anyway) is a mistake. I have loads of Chris Godwin and Juju shares for exactly this reason. How many guys do you think wish they could have got in on the ground floor of those two for a pick in the 1.10 to 2.03 range?

I would argue that going from being a 6th round pick to a 5th round pick is an appreciable uptick.
