<![CDATA[Coolest QB who wore #12.]]> Gimme the Snake, Ken Stabler.  Best book I read as a kid.  F Tom Brady and Roger Staubach.  And especially Terry "can't spell cat" Bradshaw.  Dumb thread, I'm bored.

Guys who didnt wear 12 I thought were cool was Don Meredith And Roman Gabriel and I gotta put John Brody in there... They were just good guys that I liked growing up.

And our final wrapup of the coolest NFL QB to win the #12 it appears (alphabetical order) that  Namath and  Stabler pretty much have it locked up. 

Now the most uncool to wear #12 the list is pretty long.  I'd start with Bob Greise or maybe  Jim Kelly.   I'm sure a few Rodgers or Bradshaw voters will pop up but there are PLENTY of others.   Your pick or picks ?

Switch #12 Stabler with #12 Brady Freaky Friday style.  Stabler never gets hit and thrives while Brady cries home to mommy.  No 7 rings.  Just Pampers.

Take any of the quarterbacks from the 70s, 80s and more before all of the CTE facts (and NFL payouts)  which led to all of the new rule changes. 

It goes beyond Brady all of these quarterbacks,  Brees and others playing at 40+ and putting up video game numbers would be nonexistent  ! 

Ask Bradshaw,  Namath,  Unitas, the Stabler family and more if this is true.  Can you imagine the numbers and SB rings they'd rack up.

Again this was about coolest #12 but big numbers can be cool too.   And Namath #12 and Joe cool #16 were my coolest.

Namath wanted to kiss Suzy Kolber.  Kenny would have got her on the first date if he dated pigs.  Stabler coolest #12 in a landslide.  Made the Hall of Fame right after he died.  What a disgrace.

* EDIT !  Even though Jim McMahon was with 6 teams he didn't really play at all at GB and  AZ largely due to injuries.   After his football life he had a lot of other issues like some other football players had.  Some of these guys were old men at 40+ but almost all of them would say that they'd do it again.

And don't forget our Cleveland INDIANS All Star Kenny Lofton back in the power years.  

They brought the TRIBE back from the Major League days to the contenders year after year. 

And not to drift off ot the cool #12 how about Robbie Alomar or Francisco Lindor ?

Now back to football. 

Kenny Lofton was awesome.  True leadoff hitter.  No power, caught balls at the wall and could grab a bag.

Eh..I guess it depends on how you define cool.

I loved the time some big D lineman picked him up and slammed him.  I believe it was way after the play was over.

Biggest Johnny Manziel Controversies

Belongs in a thread debating the most worthless fuck of a QB . He takes the #1 spot imo.

The topic should be who was the second coolest. Stabler gets my vote.

Mr. No Class shows why !

A stack of bills with the $1 on top,  probably going to  " make it rain "  somewhere.   Wasted 1st round draft pick in the BROWNS era of bad draft picks ........ you bet it was !

Moving right along from JFF hopefully for a long while.

Baseball was cool when you had Rickey Henderson and guys stealing 100 bases a year.  Metrics ended that.  Shame.  Guardians is garbage.  Guard my balls.

And don't forget our Cleveland INDIANS All Star Kenny Lofton back in the power years.  

They brought the TRIBE back from the Major League days to the contenders year after year. 

And not to drift off ot the cool #12 how about Robbie Alomar or Francisco Lindor ?

Now back to football.
