There's got to be someone better out there. <br /><br />Ernie, who would fit the basic type of situation we had with Spagnolo - a coach who is from a good, aggresive system that is looking to take the next step up? <br /><br />Hey, what about Bill Sheridan?! Oh wait, that didn't work so well..... Just kidding obviously, but is there a Spagnolo-type out there that hasn't even been mentioned yet? <br /><br />Also, it will be very interesting to see who Parcells tries to hire for the Dolphins. I would imagine the Giants should be looking for the same type of DC.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441341177570102832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-79306634075948640902010-01-12T12:57:11.948-05:002010-01-12T12:57:11.948-05:00Even though this post is not about Warner, I think...Even though this post is not about Warner, I think I may be able to help out here. In thinking of HoF QBs in regards to Warner, the thought of Jim Kelly jumped out at me. In non-statistical comparison, Warner has one SB ring and two NFL MVP awards. Kelly has no SB rings and I could not find any info regarding if he was ever NFL MVP, but I don't remember him ever receiving the award. Statstical comparison: Kelly played in 160 games, Warner 125. Kelly had a career QB rating of 84.4 compared to Warner's 93.7. Kelly passed for 35,467; Warner 32,344. Kelly had 237 TD passes, 175 ints, Warner 208, 128. Kelly career pass percentage, 60.1%; Warner 65.5%. Take into account that Jim Kelly played in 35 more games than Warner. Kelly was 0-4 in SB games(do account for one SB he got hurt early and missed the rest of the game), Warner 1-2 (and that one SB victory was about one yard short of a loss). Both are stand-up guys, who are true competitors. IF Warner can continue moderate numbers for a season and a half, he should catch up with Kelly. This is an interesting argument, as I can see both sides' point. Both had good weapons at times and mediocre weapons other times. If I had a vote, I think I would give it to Warner. Maybe not first ballot, but down the road.<br /><br />I am still trying to figure out how Roger Craig and Cris Carter are not already in.CE718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-45959939264152292262010-01-12T12:28:28.339-05:002010-01-12T12:28:28.339-05:00Hey Ern,

He did appear in three Super Bowls (winning one), which is a very impressive stat. <br /><br />But for a six year stretch (granted injuries were a factor) he had a 13-29 record. And in four of those years he averaged less than 205 yards passing. I really don't see it. <br /><br />He had four great years, but that's it. I'm trying to think of a football comparison, but I don't think I have one. For baseball you might be able to use Don Mattingly, but football, I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-56375216115850918862010-01-12T10:38:13.881-05:002010-01-12T10:38:13.881-05:00Red Flag on Crennel.
