Sean Salisbury Had Mediocre NFL Stats, Says, 'I Could Care Less'

Another solid little post MDS. Kicking ass as usual

You had me until the end. Putting Tom Jackson in the same catagory as Ron Jaworski and Chris Collinsworth has to be one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. The man is a Hall of Famer. You should be barred from speaking about football.

Shouldn't the correct verbage be 'I couldn't care less'?

Tom Jackson in hall of fame? Someone should be banned from talking ball but its not MDS


Its clear Salisbury loves himself a lil too much and clearly thinks he is better than he is

For as much junk as Salisbury spits out, you would think that he had a meaningful NFL career. The guy was average at best!

MDS, To suggest that Collinsworth, Jaworski and Jackson had average careers is just stupid. They were an intregal part of their teams. They all have meaningful roles on super bowl teams, all selected to pro bowls. And Jackson was a premier linebacker of his time.

Maybe a ban is in order for MDS, after the Merriman debacle, and now confusing Salisbury with players that could actually play. I 2nd the banning motion.

I am going to have to dispute your assertion that Collinsworth and Jaworski weren't great players. OK, maybe they weren't hall-of-famers, but we are not talking about journeymen here.

Jaworski took the Eagles to the playoffs several years in a row and even took them to the Super Bowl. He was named UPI Player of the Year and won NFL Player of the Year in 1980.

Collinsworth is a three-time Pro Bowler with over 6,500 yds and 36 TDs in his career.

Salisbury, on the other hand, is pretty well the textbook definition of a journeyman quarterback.

The reason why Collinsworth and Jaworski aren't insecure is because they don't have to be -- they were quite successful. There is no need for hang-ups. Salisbury...well, ask him about his Winnipeg days.

If Jaws, Jackson and Collinsworth were average what does that make Salisbury? The water boy?

I agree with post #5. MDS, do you even read the crap you write?

Salisbury was a back up at best and basically an insurance policy for teams if their starter or back up went down. He acts like he was a hall of famer the way he talks on tv, he is a no body. The other guys had good careers and contributed to the league and their teams and I have a lot more respect for what they say. The biggest idiot they had on ESPN was Michael Irvin and he is in HOF so it does not correlate how good you are on the field with how good you are on TV. It is very easy for the guys on TV to get jealous of the crazy money players are getting for what they contribute to the game it is way out of whack. Joe Morgan is a clear example of this but that is how it goes.

I think there is way too many talk shows about football from the draft coverage to all the pre game crap, I would be interested in seeing the guys on TV have to pick the games against the spread and get paid on how well they do that way, put their money where their mouth is.

It's baffling to me that not only is Salisbury on TV, but he seems to be on TV all the friggin' time.

He sucked as a QB. He ain't good looking. He's an idiot.

salisbury got beaten out his senior year at USC. He was lazy and realized when the CFL was the only option he was going to have to work a lot harder than he did in college to have any kind of career in football. He was what Colin Cowherd likes to say a quarterback who kept throwing until he was intercepted enough they had to bench him.

Adding my 2 cents. I laughed when he got that QB job,I laughed when he got ESPN, I laughed when he said what "players had to do to inpress me" (him), and now I laugh cause he thinks he had a good career. He was a profesional bench warmer and has the stats for 12 years to prove it. He never established himself as a clear winning QB. Tom,Chris,and Ron earned their bragging rights. Sean Hasn't anything to brag about.

There is a saying that says "The truth hurts" concerning Sean Salisbury pro football career stats.

At least Salisbury played in the NFL. None of us who entered a comment can say that!!! Mabey he dosen't care!!!!!!!!!! And who cares, if he cares or not!!!!

You all might be underrating Salisbury. He was the 647th greatest quarterback in NFL history — just slightly ahead of Garo Yepremian.

Cris Collinsworth and Tom Jackson had good careers. I don't really agree with the comment. My biggest concern however is Sean salsbury's hair in that pic. What was he thinking?

Reply

Michael David Smith must be about twenty years old. He clearly never saw Jackson, Jaws or Collinsworth play. Favre broke Jaws record for consecutive starts at quarterback. He was a gritty competitor and great quarterback. Jackson was one of the premiere outside linebackers of the late 70s/ early 80s. Collinsworth was an outstanding wide receiver. He used to drive me nuts. He could catch anything. Jaws and Collinsworth stats may not look as impressive anymore, but take a look at Bradshaw's stats and you will realize that the passing game has changed dramatically over the last twenty years.

Whenever Salisbury came in, you covered your eyes.

It's amazing that haters keep hating for the same reason. It goes like this. You weren't a good back up how can you commentate. Give it a rest. How many coaches never played in the league. You didn't play line holds no water. What Sean doesn't care about is people dogging him for being a back up. He played, he's not bitter, don't hate.

Post 12. Is that you Sean??

What we need to look at is how overblown ESPN has gotten. Too many people talking about the same thing. With that being said, I don't agree with someone criticizing players he was never better than. Check out FOX NFL Sunday, Hall of Famers and Superbowl Winners, now those are people you can listen to. ESPN does not care about credentials, only if you can speak well. I pay no attention to Sean, hypocrite. I just which a current quarterback would take him to task.
