Vick defeated them by trusting what he saw, not by depending on his athletic ability. If Vick can become more cerebral in the pocket next season, we will see more of what we saw against the Cowboys and in 2010. Turnovers are what haunted Brett Favre...

Joe Theismann won one Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins during his 12-year career in the NFL. Theismann was named All-Pro twice while posting an impressive 77-47 record as a starter. Theismann retired in 1985 after throwing for 25,206 yards while...

Although Montana gave them hope, he didn't push them over the hump. KC also missed out on crucial draft picks, passing on possible franchise quarterbacks because as far as they were concerned, they had one. Brett Favre's history is pretty recent and is...

'Like all good quarterbacks he had great poise. Very confident in any system, west coast or not,' Sherman said. 'Any quarterback has to be confident in his own skin and believe in himself. They always say a great quarterback makes those around him better.

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, who coached Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill this season, said Tannehill is very confident and can play in any offensive system. "Like all good quarterbacks he had great poise. Very confident in any system,...

Team President Mark Murphy has been working to maintain continuity within the corporation, having succeeded Bob Harlan four years ago, while shepherding the ongoing growth of the franchise footprint. Under Murphy's watch, the Packers survived the...

Clements is heavily credited for molding Aaron Rodgers into the 2011 NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV MVP. Clements came to Green Bay along with coach Mike McCarthy in 2006, one year after Rodgers slipped to No. 24 in the first round of the draft. Rodgers was...

In other words, this is a great time for Ben to learn that all games are 60-minute marathons; sometimes, you have to know when to turn off the inner gunslinger. Just ask Brett Favre. Thankfully, Roethlisberger's career has seen clutch performances with...

Culpepper overachieved in year one (3,937 yards, 33 TDs, 16 INTs) and took them to the NFC title game in 2000, but they were humiliated, 41-0, by the Giants and never really returned until Brett Favre arrived ten years later. The point is, though...

In 2011—his best statistical season—Sanchez ranked near the bottom in the NFL in completion percentage, passer rating and passing yards per game. The Jets had no problem bringing in a veteran in 2008 with Brett Favre. Who's to say they won't do it again?

Five of them finished their careers on teams other than those with which they became famous. None of them qualify as happy endings. You recall Favre's ignominious finale with the Minnesota Vikings. Less quickly remembered is Warren Moon. In his last...

The relationship between Manning and the Colts has so soured that a divorce is inevitable. We have seen this before. We saw it with Joe Montana in San Francisco, Johnny Unitas in Baltimore, Joe Namath in New York and Brett Favre in Green Bay. All great...

What we're seeing now is Manning and the Colts posturing to crank up the pressure on the other side. Neither wants to be the bad guy in this fast-dissolving relationship. We've watched this before. Four years ago, Brett Favre's illustrious career ended...

In 2009, former Jets quarterback Brett Favre talked repeatedly about how a partially torn biceps tendon hampered his performance during a late-season free fall that saw the Jets go from 8-3 to 9-7 to end the 2008 season. But the Jets hadn’t disclosed...

Whether it's desperation like Terrell Owens, seeking validation like Randy Moss or straight ego like Brett Favre, retiring sooner than later prevents sad endings such as these players experienced (although T.O. and Moss aren't technically retired). And...

The reality is there is nothing concrete happening in the NFL right now. But the league is so compelling that no one wants to stop talking about it. Enter Terrell Owens and Randy Moss, playing this year’s versions of Brett Favre, stirring up hype,...

Andrew Luck with their number one pick. “You look at Peyton Manning’s age, and then the situation, and it’s not going to be a long term thing,” Madden said. “They would look at (Manning) for the short-term thing and they would obviously look at Andrew...

What we're seeing now is Manning and the Colts posturing to crank up the pressure on the other side. Neither wants to be the bad guy in this fast-dissolving relationship. We've watched this before. Four years ago, Brett Favre's illustrious career ended...

The NFL is a league of what have you done for me lately and lately Manning hasn’t done anything except stand on a sideline coaching his fellow quarterbacks. In 2008 Brett Favre announced his retirement from the NFL. Since Favre was retired the Green...
