08:03 AM ET 12.08 | Gary Kubiak, having watched Andy Dalton in high school, knows more than most about the rookie QB. [Kubiak] had some high praise for [Dalton], comparing him at one point to Brett Favre. "He obviously threw the ball a lot more than Brett did coming out but just the way you watched him play the games, the way you watched him find a way to win, find a way to make a play," Kubiak said. "That's what it's all about in this league. You've got to be able to improvise and he can definitely do that. I don't see any throws he hasn't been able to make. I've got one in my mind down in Seattle where he moved to his left and hit (AJ) Green down the middle of the field. I see him making every throw you need to make and that's all that matters."

He's already texting his junk to cheerleaders and is addicted to painkillers?

And that insight comes from a professional perennial back up QB.

He throws interceptions into double coverage, but the receiver "ran the wrong route"?

There is one significant difference in the two...

Andy Dalton isn't a drama queen.

For Dalton's sake, I hope that isn't the only difference.

4 weeks to go. Hotly contested division races in both confereneces. Wild card slots up for grabs. Teams falling out of contention from injuries, or rising from the depths to make a playoff run.

And we get 2 threads about a guy who should have hung 'em up for good 2 years ago.

Two Favre threads today. The floodgates are open.

Kubiak knows alot, since he was Elway's backup and considering all he did in his career was hold a clipboard.

December 8, 2011  08:17 AM ET

If I was Dalton, I'd punch Kubiak in the face.

Yeah, the Texans offense is clearly a garbage unit just riding the coattails of their defense. What does Kubiak know?

Could be worse, they could try to break out a Owens thread.

Wow...way to show love to some other team's QB and not you're own 3rd string QB. That's a slap in the face to all Texans' fans and players in my book!

He knows how to get to the playoffs and then LOSE, sounds like a Norv Turner to me.
