Yardbarker: Trent Dilfer

What's Up With Curry?

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 11:53:51 -0500

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of Curry. Always have been, probably always will be. Still, with news that the Seahawks are lessening his workload this year, I am getting a little bit annoyed. I get that Rookies often get a bit of fatigue towards the end of the season -- though, let's be honest, we've only played 10 games which is less than a college season. Still, Aaron Curry is not supposed to be just any rookie -- where is Max Unger's fatigue? What about linebackers ...

On This Day Video- Bucs (WIN??) 6-3 despite Dilfer.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:00:27 -0500

Rocky days for Trent Dilfer. Gone were the feel good months from the end of 1996 through the end of 1997. He started to show his true colors in the '98 season, and by '99 he was downright riot-worthy for the Bucs defense. Dilfer was benched after this game, in which he overthrew a wide open Warrick Dunn in the endzone. Fans Booed relentlessly, and Dungy pulled the plug.

ROETHLISBERGER DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A TRENT DILFER FAN

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:20:00 -0500

Game Manager-turned-talking head Trent Dilfer made headlines on this site earlier this season when he ranked the NFL quarterbacks as he saw them and omitted Ben Roethlisberger from his "elite" and "superstar" categories, much to the predictable outrage of myself and many of you.But after his latest little "rankings" project, Dilfer's drawn the ire of a much larger figure - Ben Roethlisberger himself. You see, the ESPN employee just ranked his top five 2009 QB...

New Yahoo/Tebow: Tebow As Dilfer 2.0

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:22:00 -0500

Just wanted to point you to my latest Yahoo column about Tim Tebow, comparing him to Trent Dilfer and extolling the virtues of the QB as "game manager." Hopefully, it makes you think differently about Tebow -- as different as the new context he's playing in. Check it out here.-- D.S.

ON THIS DAY- 9/21/1997 - Bucs, Dilfer, shine for the rest of the nation!

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:59:42 -0500

We were 3-0. The New Bucs! A new day in Tampa Bay. Pewter, sold out Tampa Stadium, and a national TV audience on TNT. Back then, TNT would get the first 8 Sunday Night games, and ESPN got the last 8 games. One day I need to upgrade my version of this game to get the last few minutes, where Ive heard Trent Dilfer points to Jimmy Johnson and takes a knee instead of piling on more points. The year before, J. Johnson ripped Dilfer when he said hed rather go to coach Miami who has Dan Marino...

WHAT WOULD CRABTREE DO: WORK OUT WITH DILFER

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:07:46 -0500

Turns out Michael Crabtree might not be as big of a douchebag as we thought. The unsigned rookie receiver recently worked out with former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer. Dilfer gushed over Crabtree’s ability and said that he was perfectly healthy. I doubt that a playing [...]

We Have A Crabtree Sighting … Seymour? Um, No

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:30:52 -0500

So Michael Crabtree is perfectly healthy and working out in the San Francisco Bay Area, playing catch in an undisclosed location with Trent Dilfer. Hmm, is that in itself cause for alarm? More importantly: Could the 49ers’ reticent No. 1 draft pick be on the verge of caving in and accepting the team’s offer? Playing catch [...]

BREAKING: BIG BEN NOT AN ELITE QB

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:58:00 -0500

That's what Trent Dilfer says in his rankings of the position today. Sure, Roethlisberger may have two Super Bowl rings at the ripe old age of 26, but of course that doesn't elevate him past Drew Brees and Phil Rivers in the eyes of the most maligned Super Bowl-winning QB in NFL history. In fact, he's lumped in with such also-rans as Matt Hasselbeck and Donovan McNabb. I thought everyone needed a good laugh today. Thanks, Trent Dilfer!Brees, Rivers on cusp of breakthrough [ESPN.co...

Brett Favre Tells Dilfer He Won’t Be Back in 2009

Mon, 04 May 2009 19:07:45 -0500

The latest twist in the Brett Favre saga has him telling former QB Trent Dilfer that he’s not coming out of retirement. ESPN wrote that Favre told “NO,” via text to Dilfer about coming back in 2009. Of course we’ve all heard that before, and we know that in the end - Favre [...]

Because There's Nothing Else To Talk About Right Now...

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:06:53 -0500

On Tuesday, in the midst of the beginning of baseball season for the defending world champs and the stretch runs for the Sixers and Flyers, 950 ESPN will devote a four block of sports talk radio to something they've dubbed "The Great Donovan Debate."Â Hosted by Mike Missanelli and featuring notable guests such as Sal Paolantonio and Ron Jaworski plus a live studio audience, the event was designed to debate the merits of franchise QB Donovan McNabb.Let's save everyone four h...

Gridiron News: July 10th

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:46:29 -0500

Since there is nothing going on with the Colts, lets see about whats going on with our 2008 opponents. The Jags may be having a change of owners. The Bears are getting excited about their rookie running back, a player who I wanted to be a Colt. Packers fans are going through some Favre rumors. The Bengals have a lot going on, unlike the Colts. The Ravens remember Trent Dilfer. The Vikings want the current Packers starting QB, not the former. ?

Dont Double Cross Ray Lewis

I'll be eternally grateful to Trent Dilfer for leading the Ravens to the Super Bowl but you don't take a man's MVP award like that. Especially a man who's good with butterfly knives and getaway vehicles. One would think that would be enough to solidify one's position as QB but one would be wrong. Dilfer was bounced out of town in favor of Elvis Grbac. We all know how that went. It's been six years and Dilfer's still a little pissed.
