I would rather have Peyton Manning as my starting NFL quarterback (QB) than Tom Brady. I just think Peyton Manning is a more honest and moral person than Brady. As for their QB skills on the football field, Brady probably has a slight edge over Manning but I would have to check their ratings to be sure.

While size does matter for some things, in football the most important aspect of any NFL player, regardless of size is fitness. Can you imagine a 350 pound lineman with his huge hulking legs trying to kick a field goal or run a down and out pattern like the “skinny” wide receivers?

No. NFL GM’s are not prejudice against black quarterbacks (QBs). In the last twenty years the NFL has made a lot of progress hiring African-American quarterbacks. Early in the 2017-18 season there were 18 black QBs and seven were their team's regular starter. There were eight until the Buffalo Bills benched Tyrod Taylor but that only lasted one game because Nathan Peterman was terrible. ...

I don’t think the NFL is in danger of folding in the near future but maybe in 20 years or so. My reasoning for this is there is still a lot of kids going through the high school and college “system” and there is still a lot of education that needs to be disseminated on the dangers of head injuries before a big difference will be seen.
