Smokin’ Jay Cutler: (puffs smoke) “The twilight of my career began the day I was drafted…”
Wtf are you talking bout cutler should be a 1st ballot hall of Famer for the Packers
Lol
lolol. fun fact jay went 11-35 as a starter at Vandy..
Wow! Out of nowhere. Honesty, if he had even a little more O-like help in Chicago could’ve been different. He spent his time there running for his life.
I remember there was so much focus on Young and Leinart. Some people did say not to ignore Cutler because of his physical tools. It's safe to say he did have a better NFL career than the two ahead of him, if nothing else lol.
I think in 10 years when Tom Brady starts to approach the twilight of his career he will struggle too.
We can only hope but the refs won’t let him get hit
We thought it was his last season in the Patriots
I think you're a little optimistic with that timeline, honestly.
Of course someone blames the ref... not like Brady takes care of his body and is smart when taking hits compared to amount of QBS in the league currently acting like idiots running around trying to play hero outside the pocket.
Plus if the case why did Brees retire compared to Brady? He played under ref ball
@@lakevapor5182 All Qbs have the same rules
Peyton and Drew Brees are both legends but seeing them in their final seasons was painful
The Broncos defense carried Peyton and Peyton knew he was running on fumes by the time he won the Super Bowl. He knew he didn't have anything left after that. For Brees he just kept getting hurt and it took longer for him to recover. With Brady it's just he hasn't suffered a major injury since that 2008 ACL tear.
It was really only his last season where Peyton was real rough. 2013, his third to last season, was statistically the best of his career.
At least Peyton ended his career a champion. You can say all you want about how bad he was but nothing can change that fact.
I think what made these guys so great is that they left everything on the filed. They did not need to question themselves and think they ended it too soon.
@@redmustangredmustang Definitely a combination of incredible dedication to his physical fitness, play style, and a bit of luck. His longevity is unprecedented though. We may never see anything like it again.
Dan Marino did not deserve to go out the way he did. That was brutal. Dude got straight up Boba Fett'd out of the league.
Steve deberg would poo on dan marino.
I sat through every minute of his final NFL game, and you're right. Dan Marino didn't deserve that ending.
Hey, Danny wanted to be the hero, but he ended up a zero. Boo yah! Diarriah!
Oh, hey there, Eli. Didn’t see you there
(He’s a Giants legend, at least…cut me some slack)
Exactly! 😔
He’s the only qb able to say he beat Brady 2 times
@@quandaledinglejr2536 beat Brady in the Superbowl 2 times*
Eli is one of the greatest that ever played the game, I don't fucking care what people say, man gave it his absolute 110% throughout his entire career. Management did a shit job keeping the offensive line in shape & I'm fairly confident that if they had managed to keep the o line good, he would still be playing in 2021
@@superslayerguy you know what I ment
In my lifetime, I've seen Johnny Unitas wearing a Chargers (?!?) uniform, and Joe Namath wearing a Rams (?!?) uniform. Both were SO bizarre to see. And both went out with a whimper. It was really hard to see these two heroes of mine have to limp off into the sunset.
I thought Brady in a Tampa Bay uniform would be the same. I was a damn fool.
@@freeparking301 So far, so good for Tom Brady. Although I stopped following the NFL intently back in the 1980's (those strikes really soured me, and the passing game had FAR overshadowed the running game), even I...basically a non-hardcore NFL fan now...would have to say that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time.
@@williamhild1793 I begrudgingly agree about Brady. I don’t blame ya for not paying attention to the league as much as you once did. The game is weighed too far towards the offenses and as good as some of these modern players are I wish we could see them play under the old rules to see where they stand against the all time greats. Those strikes did occur pretty frequently back then. I was seven years old in 1993 when I fell in love with my hometown Philadelphia Phillies and started to embrace baseball and learned how to play and the 1994 baseball strike was something that my love of the game never recovered from to the point that when the Phillies won in 2008 I don’t hold that team in as high of regards as the 1993 team so I totally get how you feel.
@@freeparking301 That strike basically killed baseball in Montreal and Toronto as well. Those places were packed prior to the strike.
@@boltinabottle6307 Montreal got screwed in 1994. All that young talent was coming into there own only for what should’ve been a playoff run to be taken away from them. In September 1993 the Phils went up there for a three game series and all year the Phillies were in first place and all of a sudden the Expos got hot and some of their September call ups that year would be mainstays in the league for over a decade. We were lucky to get one win which kept us in the driver’s seat but that series was a warning shot for what was to come. Then that piece of shit Loria got to own the team and the owners actually let him own the Marlins after he ruined them. If I were a fan I definitely would’ve became jaded after that. And the league using the Canadian dollar as an excuse for players not going up there didn’t help either Montreal or Toronto.
"Manning looked like OJ and Al Cowlings, a slow white Bronco" LOL that was good
Such a shame Dan Marino never won a Championship, he was The Truth
Dan deserved to play in another Super Bowl, let alone take home a championship.
I feel like Brees deserves at least an honorable mention. His decline was especially painful because it was over the course of four years and some would argue more then that. He also really got banged up over the course of those four seasons as well.
4 years? He received MVP votes in 2018, and only slowed down in the last 2 because he kept getting injured. Brady has stayed good partially because he hasn’t had any major injury since his acl tear.
@@PixelSprinter I'm saying four years more in the aspect that 2017 and 2018 ended terribly for the Saints with the Minneapolis Miracle and the no call DPI on the Rams. It's a combination of bad luck, injury, and a bad game to end it all.
The fact that he was robbed of going to two super bowls is hard to swallow.
You usually don't give up the game.
The game usually gives you up.
Like joe namath, who retired every year when he was young. They had to tear the Ram uniform off his back.
Can't wait to see Brady on this list after 2049 season
or whenever he has to stop taking PEDs
This didn’t age well
@@ProjectRaijin This didn't age well either
Like Tom Brady, the Robert Kraft cracks never get old.
Peytons final year deserves a dam son
Yeah that was pretty rough. A Top 5 all time QB, but there’s something dissatisfying about his 2nd Super Bowl win being in spite of his limitations.
@@FilthyCasual268 I’d argue that was his best game of the year
Johnny Unitas had the wrong offense around him in San Diego. As a unit, they were not ready for a strong passing game. The O line couldn't hold back defenders and the pocket would collapse. Receivers and Tight Ends were not used to, or ready for timing routes, bump and runs, or long, gun-slinger type passes.
When Foutes was under center, he ran a more balanced offense, and found huge success with the team.
"Just like Robert Kraft at a massage parlor." OMG THAT KILLED ME
Steelers fans: “Ben. It’s time.” 😄
2018, but we know who runs the show in the Burgh, & what a shitshow it's been for the last 5 seasons.
@@chizorama Yeah 2017 seemed to be the start of the decline. Losing that game to New England (yes it was a catch) then Jacksonville in the playoffs was painful. The blowup in 2018 was embarrassing. 2019 Ben got hurt and hasn’t been the same since
Favre's final season was the definition of "Time to Hang Up the Cleats"
Donovan McNabb as well.
Yeah, that season was a horrible nightmare for Bret and Minnesota.
@@CJEstradaMartinez 11 TDs, 19 INTs. 😳
@@sludge4125 Yeah, not only was "The Gunslinger" breaking down, but Bret Favre was misfiring badly.
And it was a terrible way for him to go out in his last game. Honestly the Vikings should have never played at TCF Bank Stadium for that game. That stadium wasn't built for the cold winters. It didn't have heating coils underneath the field so that turf was rock solid that night.
Pretty sure 95% of quarterbacks out there would trade their best season for Manning's worst
I was about to disagree, but winning a ring is pretty nice
i have such a soft spot for unitas. he's lithuanian like me and was a great player. i've only ever heard good things about him. may he rest in peace.
As far as I’m concerned he’ll always be the greatest QB of all time.
Joe Namath‘s athletic peak was his All-American Alabama college years. Unfortunately, in that era ACL surgery wasn’t refined, but he was still a great NFL QB on hobbled knees.
Unitas struggled to play with the Chargers. But I’ve seen Fouts talk about how invaluable it was having him there as a mentor. Can you imagine having the greatest quarterback of all time there to help you through your rookie season?
I have no idea how Mr. FivePoints can possibly come up with all the video ideas he does…
I'm not saying it's easy, but you have almost 100 years (and counting) of NFL history. If your channel is dedicated to NFL football, surely there's always something to discuss.
Favre’s consecutive start streak ended in Week 13 of the 2010 Season against the Bills. He suffered an AC sprain from linebacker Arthur Moates and missed the next game which ended his start streak at 297.
That AC Sprain is a bitch. I got one when I was 14 and couldn’t do shit for 2 weeks
I was checking some of the QBs I had in my mind as retiring later than they should have - dunno if he fits the category... but those of you who don't know, guess which year Warren Moon played his last game in the NFL. Answer below.
It was in 2000. He was 44. Crazy. Moon and Tom Brady played in the same NFL season...
Joe Namath grew up in the town next to my childhood home. He's looked at as a legend locally obviously, but would love more in depth video on the subject...
Ouch... 62-7 i knew it was coming. Dolphins wasted a hell of a career...
That was the worst beatdown I ever witnessed.
Add up the score of Marino’s last game
😈
Nice
nice
Bradshaw's final pass? Touchdown.
Ken Stabler had an awful final game with the Saints where he immediately retired after said game. 38 used to be the Wall, I remember the class of 2000 QBs all hit the wall between 2009 and 2011
Would love to see the inverse of this video. Like some late career resurgances
Anquan Bolden had a pretty good year with the lions in 2016 for his age and helped us make the playoffs.
Carson Palmer in Arizona comes to mind
Good ol' Rich Gannon would be on there.
It was kind of a U curve, but Kurt Warner. And of course Jim Plunkett
As someone who was an adult when it happened, the OJ and Al Cowlings joke was just *chef's kiss*!
Favre’s start streak was ended by Arthur Moats of the bills, it was a rare highlight from that era as a bills fan
I'd give them credit for hanging in there and doing their best to stay on top.
'Slow white bronco' I'm weak 🤣😂
This is what make Brady playing at the age of 44 years old incredible.
Yet the haters still says it's all purely " Defense" 🤣🤣
Also, he has some incredible receivers. Any quarterback would kill to get a set of receivers like Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Antonio Brown (as long as Brown is on his best behavior). Granted I'm sure Brady himself is at least pretty good on his own, but those receivers might be an even better receiving corps than he had in 2007.
@@andysee6996 Its funny because this is truly the first time that Brady has Elite weapons.
He's won Super Bowls with 3rd and 4th string WRs in reality. The only true HOF player Brady as won with was with Gronk.
When he got Moss he broke alot if records but didn't win a Super Bowl of course.
Either way every other Elite QBs in the league right now has Elite weapons on there offense as well.
Murray, Dak, Maholmes, Rodgers, Allen, Backer. They have more or less are on par weapons with Tampa Bay weapons.
But most fans don't want to give Brady credit. There's always some excuse to excuse Brady.
When Brady has clearly been the common denominator. Pats this year has top 10 defense but are still struggling to win games at 2-4. Brady comes to a 7-9 Tampa team that's been massively underachieving with Winston who had the same defense in 2019 as the 2020 defense as well.
In Comes Tom Brady and instantly made them a Super Bowl Champion.
I'm 90% sure if Brady was on the Pats right now they would be 5-1 or atleast 4-2 because Brady elevates the players around himm
Wins and losses are a function of the team you're on. Look at Marino, one of the best ever. Having said that I'll admit I think Brady is THE GOAT, and that he's cemented his status winning with multiple teams, and not always having the greatest talent around him.
@@andysee6996 he recruited alotta people don’t forget that Bruce didn’t know of or really want or need so it is true if Brady had weapons like Peyton or joe people would say he was only good because of his weapons
Roids
Meanwhile Tom Brady at 75: *the empire marches on*
I’m from Mississippi and I loved the joke with Brett Farve
I can tell this was an attack on urinating tree in the yinzers.
It’s wild how these QBs basically stay dominant for their whole career and then they all have a season they just fall apart in
Wear and tear on their arm over time
Not sure which the bigger cliff is, QB's or RB's. When the moment comes they age like eggs.
@@chizorama probably running backs usually done by 30
I was at that Bears/Vikes game. Cold as all hell!
Lmao that happy ending joke was so good.
Loved hearing that joke made at Rub'n'Tug Robbie Kraft's expense!
It may have been ugly, but at the end of the day Peyton Manning walked away with a Super Bowl ring. It’s the other Manning brother, who belongs on this list
Eli doesn’t he was mediocre his whole career, but in the playoffs for some reason he played like a elite qb
@@saintsforever3751 for two years at least. Every other time he was one and done
@@saintsforever3751 he doesn't even have a winning record
I'm still trying to figure out how Eli won two Lombardis, but I'm glad he did, especially the first one.
Well In Ben's Defense if he were to retire before the 2021 Season the Steelers would have been screwed over financially due to his contract so he had to play out the final year of his contract. Also he is no where near throwing as many ints as Manning or Marino did in their final seasons.
and his receivers keep dropping good throws
Cam Newton seems like a good candidate for part 2
He hasn’t retired yet
I think the Legend condition prohibits his inclusion from this series
He’s not a legend
@@saintsforever3751 broke records early, put Carolina on the map, had a magical 15-1 season. Yes it ended in disappointment and his career wasn’t the same after the super bowl and his lingering injuries. If he isn’t a NFL legend, he sure is a panthers legend in my book. If only he learned to be an accurate QB…
@@alphadelta3964 yea maybe a panthers legend for taking them to a super bowl but I wouldn’t really call him a nfl legend if he never got hurt dude could of still been a starter
Can’t wait to see Big Ben on this list next time a vid like this is made.
Slow white bronco line killed me haha
I would’ve hurt myself if I saw Drew brees on here. Thanks FPV
Haha, FivePoints is never gonna let Bob Kraft off the hook for the massage parlor thing.
It never gets old.
Video idea: Coaches who did well in the NFL, but were bad college coaches.
Rod Dowhower is number one on that list.
Kliff Kingsbury might make that list.
lovie smith
Mike Singletary
If you swapped it around for coaches who were bad in the nfl but good in college then nick saban
I’m a huge fan of your videos, but we gotta talk about this Joe Namath take you have. IMO Namath’s status as an icon, and his SB win, are enough to make him a franchise QB alone. I feel like using stats to decide whether they’re a “franchise” player or not is a moot point with any QB pre-Marino. That being said about stats tho, Namath would put up Rodgers-like numbers in today’s league if you ask me.
Would you do a series about sports around the world that are big in countries or regions that people might not know or ever heard of
It was the Bills that knocked out Favre on Dec 5. First and only game I saw Favre play. Didn't start against Giants on Dec 13 note played at Ford Field.
This the best football channel on the Tube. 🙌 ⬇️
Love the paid promotion's brother!!!! Best commercials ever....
Big thumbs up for the “slow, white Bronco” joke. Glad my boy Marino (Dolphins fan here) decided to retire as a Dolphin instead of signing with some other team.
The tackle that injured Favre would've been flagged nowadays
It was brutal.
Roethlisberger's stats arent as bad as the ones on this list, but his arm and mobility, which were once phenomenal, are all but gone
Big Ben the gunslinger isn't done yet
Joe Namath was probably the best pure passer with the best mechanics of all time, unfortunately for him he had two knees that were beyond repair
Are we going to ignore the sound effect after him saying “a happy ending”?
"Yeah"
-marshawn lynch
But No one can respect women the way Big Ben does
He wanted a happy ending 😂😂😂
I knew Johnny U would be in this video.
Marino was never given a consistent running attack to keep opposing defenses off balance.
that or a good defense. The 49ers in the Super Bowl just exploited the hell out of those linebackers and they just couldn't keep up with Roger Craig out of the backfield.
@@redmustangredmustang I'm not necessarily saying that they would have beaten the Niners but Marino would have probably seen more superbowls with a better running attack.
@@karlcooper8460 Marino's best and really last shot was the AFC Championship against the Patriots in 1985. The Pats had n't won in Miami in years and the Patriots just totally ran all over the Miami defense. This should have been an easy win for the Dolphins, but it wasn't. The AFC championship against the Bills in 1992 was no contest. The Bills had the Dolphins number when it came to playoff games.
I can Brady making his way on to an updated version of this list in 10 years...
I would’ve loved to have seen Marino in a different uniform during the twilight of his career
The actual video starts at 1:39
Man Tom Brady is gonna take everybody's soul.
Hey Five, would you be interested in doing a stadium vid about F1 tracks?
Big Ben: If you duct taped two sticks for arms on to..the winner of the "Fat Bear" contest.
It still hurst to see Johnny Unitas in a Charger uniform.
Hey at least Big Ben had one more playoff appearance before the end if he had a decent o line this year I think it would have been more similar to how he played in the 2020 season
The fact that Namath made the Hall of Fame really discredits the institution. Some deserving player lost out on his HOF bust just because Namath played for a team in New York City.
brees, eli, maybe cam if he retires for pt2
Your info is slightly off about Favre. He missed the start the week prior against the Giants because of swelling in his hand (a game played at Ford Field due to the Metrodome roof collapsing). He played the next week against the Bears as mentioned, got concussed (because there weren't any heating coils under the field yet), then missed the rest of the year.
Great to see Brady avoid this kind of ending
New title: QB's who wouldn't admit that they were in their twilight.
I know it's not a QB but Emmitt Smith playing with the Cardinals was sad.
Dear God, I would like to forget seeing Emmitt Smith in a Cardinals jersey.
How about Snake struggling in Houston?
I'm not surprised that Dan Marino is on this list
FIRST KTO NOW FIVEPOINTS BAH GAWD!
Ikr. KTOs video ends, 5points uploads this one. Beautiful timing
“His most embarrassing moment”….. Wait a few years and Brett Favre took this statement to a whole new level💀💀💀
#WelfareBandit💯
my dad was at SB III so that shows you how impossible of a ticket it's become lol, I always told him how important it was that the Jets won but they were rooting for the Colts lol. Oh well a week in Miami
This could be interesting
If Joe Flacco had retired a Raven (hell, even after the year in Denver), his number would probably be retired.
Now, Hollywood is associated with the number, and Flacco can’t even keep his 5 in Philly.
Flacco got carried by a elite defense
Recently I heard that Mike Westhoff had interviewed for the Dolphins coaching job sometime during Marino's career, either when Jimmy left or Shula left. He said he would have put Marino in the shot gun a 100% percent of the time. He felt that it would have complemented his ability to throw the football because he could still throw it at that time. Marino also had the chance to go to the Vikings or the Steelers if he would have played one more year. He would have played with Randy Moss and Chris Carter. He would have lit it up. The problem, at the end of his career, was Jimmy Johnson. I love Jimmy because I am a die hard canes fan as well. However, telling your veteran QB to stop audibling and forcing him to run stretch run plays when the poor guy's legs could barely handle that was ridiculous. He also ran two man route plays out of the play action with a terrible running game. The play action pass doesn't work if there is no running game. Great coaches take what his players do best and complement his players' skills. Marino could still throw it. He had a lot of injuries during that time because he had the worse offensive lines at the end of his career, but he could still throw it. Watch the videos. Just compare Marino and Elway's last 4 years in the NFL. If you draw parallels between Marino and Elway's last 4 years in the league, the difference was the team around them. Before Mike Shanahan took over the Broncos and built a legendary running game with Terell Davis, a Hall of fame tight end in Shannon Sharpe and a great defense, and great young receivers in Rod Smith and Mcaffery, and an awesome offensive line, people were thinking Elway was washed up. The team that Shanahan put around Elway resurrected Elway's career. If they would have built a great team around Marino, he could have ended his career with the greatness he deserved. That last game against the Jaguars was disrespectful. Apparently, Jimmy overworked the team the week before playing Jacksonville, a team full of veterans who were fighting through injuries and the team lost 60 something to 7 and gave up over 500 yards of offensive. Marino was pulled at Half time when Jimmy threw the towel. As a Marino fan, I wanted him to play for the Vikings or the Steelers. The steelers and the Vikings had very good teams at the time. What if.
"Manning looked like OJ and Al Cowlings: a slow white Bronco." 💀
Well In Ben's Defense if he were to retire before the 2021 Season the Steelers would have been screwed over financially due to his contract so he had to play out the final year of his contract.
Too bad about Marino. If ever a QB deserved a SB ring is Marino.
I remember the hit on bret it was a nasty hit
Should definitely make a Overrated “Legends” of the NFL video
Joe Namath would be on that list as well.
Some guys just don’t know when to hang ‘em up… and some teams are just delusional about their over the hill QBs… it’s kind of sad.
Coming from a Steelers fan I get that I’m biased however we had gone 16 games without over 100 rushing yards and we now have two straight which means something is improving even if it’s very slight and Ben hasn’t looked as horrendous the past two weeks. Jesus bless y’all.
Ben is certainly diminished though not washed as the current notion is out there. That being said, I think this is his final season, Pittsburgh will move on and he will be forced to retire.
People making such a big deal about Big Ben, like this doesn't happen to every aged veteran
And like it isn't the brand new O-Line barely giving protection, he's literally getting hit on quick passes. The last two weeks when they did just marginally better, he improved the same.
This video needs to be updated to include Big Ben.
John Elway, Denver's version of Bojack Horseman.
Part II coming next year featuring Big Ben.
And Cam Newton
@@andrewmeyer4124 I was going to mention Eli and his final year too but figured I'd be kind.
Ah the jokes that are about to come in😂
Namath (after FOUR knee surgeries) managed to convince the Rams to put a clause in his final contract that he was NOT ALLOWED to be sacked more than (once?) a game (and with the Rams truly awful offensive line, that was PRAYING a lot) he would be PAID, he got his money but just to watch Namath HOBBLE onto the field was painful.... BUT HE GOT PAID!
