3. Dan Marino (Dolphins, 1983)
Marino, the sixth QB picked in the 1983 draft, didn't start for the Dolphins until the sixth game of the season. His debut, against the Bills, was a harbinger: he threw for 322 yards and 3 TDs in a close OT loss. He then led the Dolphins to the playoffs, in the process becoming the first rookie QB to lead a conference in passing. He also set a rookie record with a 96 passer rating, and became the first rookie QB to start in the Pro Bowl.
2. Bob Waterfield (Rams, 1945)
Waterfield was a runaway selection for NFL MVP and led Cleveland to the NFL Championship, throwing the long ball: he averaged 9.4 yards per pass attempt, and completed 52 percent of his passes. He also tossed 37- and 44-yard TD passes in the Rams' 15-14 championship game win over the Redskins.
1. Greg Cook (Bengals, 1969)
Cook had the potential to be one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. The Bengals drafted him out of the University of Cincinnati, fifth overall, and he stepped right into the young Bill Walsh's offense and threw deep often, connecting with tight end Bob Trumpy and wide receiver Eric Crabtree.
I really don't agree with this list, as Cam Newton has beaten most of the rookie records last season! Cam is number one right now! But Luck will be on his heals for sure!

Who wrote this list?
Tim Tebow wasn't even a rookie last year. How does his name get mentioned next to Cam Newton for 2011?
Where is Ben Roethlisberger?
And if they're going to mention quarterbacks from the 1940s they should include Otto Graham.

There are always some mistakes made on these lists and there are going to be some people that aren't on them. With the exception of a few glitches I thought it was a darn good list.

Okay. So when some dummmbass speaks his dummbass opinion on rape happens to be a republican your media uses it as a reason not to vote for Romney. This is a trust issue and not a truth issue.

You just made a great point. What that candidate said has nothing to do with Romney but the main stream news networks are trying to convince their viewers that it does. Most American citizens are concerned with the sluggish economy.
What kills me is the fact that people are so loyal to their plitical party that they defend it to an insane level. Anyone wo thinks that one party has their best interest in mind compared to the other is just plain ignorant.

QUOTE(#16):
Anyone paying attention knows that Mitt Romney has nothing to do with that clown. Anyone claiming that Akin's remarks are his or her reason for voting against Romney is being dishonest. If you equate the two, you're already voting for Obama. Duke, I admit to being pushed leftward during the previous administration, but I don't think I'm a liberal. I see flaws in all news coverage, but God almighty, at least to my ear, Fox News is outrageously biased.
I don't think you will find many who say they are not biased. But it is ridiculous what the other networks focus on as well. All the media does is divide the country with pointless talking points.. I don't care what channel you watch. You won't find anyone talking about the real issues for more than one segment an hour if that. Its more about who said what and we are all supposed to hold our hands over our mouths with a shocked look on our faces and go to work on Monday and gossip about it. All media deflects attention from real issues, and as horrible as the other ones are, Fox News gets most of the grief.
I don't want to come off as defending Fox, the only news I watch anymore is the World News at 6:30 and sometimes its ABC but mostly NBC. But I think people are judged unfairly by what network they choose to watch. Just like I said about people and their political parties, if you think one network is less biased than the other, you are being ignorant.
Either way, good morning and happy Sunday. My Niners are on TV today, first I will get to see this year.
