Topic: Ranking NFL Quarterbacks by Manliness (Read 84 times)

Today let's take a look at a QB who helmed his team to a victory "against all odds" against the San Francisco 49ers... He was one of the 3 QBs who appeared in the Netflix docuseries, "Quarterback," alongside Patrick Mahomes and Marcus Mariota.

Kirk Cousins


Height: A (6'3")
Chin: A-
Forehead: A
Voice: A-

Despite being an "on-again, off-again" quarterback, Cousins certainly has all the trappings of greatness for a star player. Of sizeable height in both stature and forehead, he looks like a man who carries around a 100+ play playbook in his cranium. Despite putting up solid number through much of career, he has yet to come close to a Super Bowl victory. We can't blame his physical characteristics for this, however; perhaps he just hasn't been given the proper arsenal of players he needs to let his true talent shine.

Let's continue our analysis of contemporary quarterbacks. Up for today we have Jimmy Garoppolo, currently of the Las Vegas Raiders. Unfortunately Jimmy has been ruled out for his next game, but I daresay the Raiders are decently happy to get him from the 49ers.

Jimmy Garoppolo


Height: A (6'2")
Chin: B+
Forehead: B
Voice: A

He's 3-2 so far this year, and given what he has to work with, that's not bad at all.

Fun Jimmy G fact: upon signing with the Raiders, he was offered free sex for life from a Las Vegas brothel.

OK today let's take a look at another contemporary QB... is he destined for greatness?

Patrick Mahomes


Height: A (6'2")
Chin: B- (goatee is a giveaway sign that a less-than-stellar-QB-chin may be hiding)
Forehead: B-
Voice: C (sounds a bit like Kermit the Frog)

Interestingly, Mahomes is highly regarded as one of the league's premier quarterbacks. He's got moves inside and out of the pocket, precision aim, and a keen running game as well. However, our analysis suggests his career may not be long-lived. To his credit, he already has 2 Super Bowls under his belt, and 2 children as well.    Will he hold up for a decades-long career? We'll see...

Well, Ranking NFL Quarterbacks by Manliness... 

Virility!... I think it's a question of cultural jargon, but I understand where your ideas are going, in any case I will give some ideas of what I think in reference to that idea...

Perhaps, you are referring to those physical qualities that certain athletes must have for the expected performance in certain positions, it is like having a center of less than 2 meters in basketball, it is impossible, it would be unmanly...

A notable case is perhaps the Astros player José Altuve, he is perhaps the best representation of the idea of what a major league player should not look like, seriously, this guy is one of the best players of recent times, but he does not have the "look" of being a big leaguer, and even less so that with his physical attitudes or his mascunality, he could achieve the hitting achievements that he has achieved.

So, based on that, it is perhaps a bit strange to make a classification by Manliness for any sport, unless the idea is to demonstrate that despite enjoying that attitude, they achieve your goals, and/or otherwise, those who enjoy physical such advantages; so-called prospects, they don't make it.

Having said the above:

Well, there is nothing more to say about the first two, they are more than recognized for their quantitative and qualifying achievements.

In fact, they have transcended so much that you may not even follow the NFL, but you recognize them, and that in some ways is a very staunch quality of the idea of your post. (right?)

In my case, for some reason I don't know, of those things that are impregnated with childhood I always remember Dan Marino and Joe Montana, they are my selection.
