Continuing To Struggle And Saturday’s Picks Plus Why Dan Marino Isn’t A Top 10 Quarterback

I can’t get my bankroll to $2200 and I’ve now dipped back down below $2100 again.  I’m now at $2070 and haven’t had much success lately without following it up with at least a set back or two.

The NFL playoffs are down to 8 teams with 3 of them featuring quarterbacks that I would consider to be Top 10 Quarterbacks not just currently in the NFL but in all-time NFL history: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.  Before I get into that list, I will make my Saturday picks:

Green Bay 27, Seattle 17

Green Bay rolls as Shaun Alexander fails to show again.  I was counting on him last game but he never showed and I’m assuming theirs nothing left in the tank.  Favre plays well and continues on this magical run.

New England 31, Jacksonville 17

This is that game where everyone has decided to annoint the Jags as the great underdog that for some reason is now considered to be destined for greatness but I think it might be time for a reality check.  The Pats haven’t lost all year, and to the chagrin of Mercury Morris, they aren’t losing this week either. 

Saturday is the HORSE Championship qualifier on Surfers, the Silver Iron Man on Full Tilt and the Bounty tournament at our home game for the LAPT.  I need to step up my game and get back into the groove.

Finally, back to my list of the Top 10 Quarterbacks in NFL History and where Marino would fall on my list (an argument I will elaborate on a later date!):

  1. Joe Montana
  2. Tom Brady
  3. John Elway
  4. Steve Young
  5. Brett Favre
  6. Johnny Unitas
  7. Roger Staubach
  8. Peyton Manning
  9. Troy Aikman
  10. Bart Starr
  11. Terry Bradshaw
  12. Warren Moon
  13. Fran Tarkenton
  14. Jim Kelly
  15. Dan Marino
