I know it was cold, but ...

"One year ago, this weekend, Eli Manning had one of the greatest performances by a quarterback I’ve ever seen, in miserable conditions in Green Bay in the NFC championship game."

21-for-40, 254 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT.

That is one of the greatest performances by a quarterback that Ralph Vacchiano has ever seen.


"The Giants are going to have little choice here. Prices go up and a year ago the Steelers made Ben Roethlisberger the seventh member of the Million Dollar Quarterback Club when they handed him an eight-year, $102 million deal with $36 million in guarantees."

I think you mean "seventh member of the Hundred Million Dollar Quarterback Club."

But it's funny that you wrote "seventh member of the Million Dollar Quarterback Club."

As if only six NFL QBs make a million dollars.


As for your NFL QB observances: I think Jim Kelly played about 300 regular season games, and if he ever went 21-for-40 for 254 yards, he would have quite football on the spot.


I remember a game where Jim Harbaugh and the Colts beat the Dolphins 41-0. I remember Harbaugh had over ten yards per attempt. It was one of the greatest physical achievements by a human being ever in the history of human achievement. Which is probably why I can remember it so well.
