Alright, let’s talk about them football throwin’ fellas, the quarterbacks, you know? The ones everyone’s always yappin’ about. Folks keep askin’ me, “Who’s the best? Who’s the hottest?” Well, I’ve been watchin’ these games, squintin’ at the TV, and I got some thoughts.
First off, you gotta understand, these young whippersnappers, they throw the ball a country mile these days. Back in my day, it was all about runnin’ the ball, tough and gritty. Now, it’s all fancy passes and whatnot. Makes an old lady dizzy sometimes.
But, hey, times change, right? So, who’s good now, in this year of 2023? Well, there’s that Patrick Mahomes fella. Everyone’s always talkin’ ’bout him. Says he’s got an arm like a cannon and can run around like a chicken with its head cut off. He’s pretty good, I guess. Wins a lot of games, that’s for sure. He’s gotta be up there at the top.
Then there’s… uh… what’s his name? That fella from… oh, you know, the team with the… the colors. Yeah, him! He’s pretty good too. Throws the ball real nice. They say he’s got some fancy stats, all them numbers and such. I don’t pay much attention to all that jibber jabber, but if he’s winnin’ games, he must be doin’ somethin’ right. Let’s just say he’s one of them “top tier” boys.
And don’t forget about that other fella, the one who used to be with… where was he again? Oh, right, that cold place up north. Now he’s down south, playin’ in the sun. He’s been around a while, that one. Seen a lot of games, thrown a lot of balls. Some folks say he’s past his prime, but I reckon he’s still got some fight left in him. He might not be the “hottest” anymore, but he’s still got that fire, you know?
- Gotta have a strong arm, that’s for sure.
- Gotta be smart, too. Can’t just be throwin’ the ball willy-nilly.
- And they gotta be tough. Those fellas get hit hard, let me tell ya.
Now, some of these young quarterbacks, they’re all hype and no substance, if you ask me. They got the fancy haircuts and the big endorsements, but they can’t seem to win the big games. It’s all about consistency, you see? Can’t just have one good game and then disappear. Gotta show up week after week, year after year. That’s what makes a fella a real quarterback, not just some flash in the pan.
I heard someone talkin’ ‘bout passing yards the other day. Said some fella threw for, oh, I don’t know, a whole bunch of yards. Eighty somethin’ thousand, I think they said. That’s a lot of throwin’, ain’t it? But what does it all mean? You can throw for a million yards, but if you don’t win games, it don’t matter a lick. It’s all about gettin’ them W’s, that’s what I say.
And another thing, these folks talkin’ ‘bout passer ratings and completion percentages. My goodness, it’s enough to make your head spin. They say if a fella throws ten times and don’t complete but a few, and don’t get no touchdowns, well, his rating is somethin’ awful low, like zero point somethin’. Sounds like he ain’t doin’ too good, huh? Common sense, really, don’t need no fancy numbers for that.
So, yeah, there’s a lot of quarterbacks out there, some good, some not so good. But the ones who are really the “hottest,” the ones who everyone’s talkin’ about, they’re the ones who win games. They’re the ones who can lead their teams, the ones who can make the big plays when it matters most. And that, my friends, is what makes a quarterback truly great. It ain’t just about how far you can throw, it’s about how you lead, how you inspire, and how you bring home the bacon.
In the end, the “hottest” quarterback ain’t always the flashiest or the one with the biggest arm. It’s the fella who can get the job done, week in and week out, the one who can lead his team to victory. And that’s the truth, plain and simple, just like I like it.
