iknowcool Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Maybe if this was 2012. Cam Newton's body language is much improved nowadays and he's always on the sidelines dapping up his teammates and cheering them on (did it last week after Gano choked twice). He was never a bad leader IMO, but he's come along way as a guy you can rely on to be energetic and optimistic on the field and off it. Not really sure about Flacco or Dalton since I don't pay attention to how they act, but I'd agree with Rodgers. Dude always seems ticked off. I feel like it hasn't always been like that.

In Rodgers case, can you blame him for being ticked off? Watching a HOF QB waste away his talent due to an incompetent front office (for years) and coaching staff has not been good for his legacy. Then again, you'd expect that HOF QB to carry or prop up those around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, you'd expect that HOF QB to carry or prop up those around him. Is Rodgers sitting there though thinking "I'm a HOF quarterback, so I'm allowed to be as demonstrative as I want". This is the same thing that Cutler got stepped on during the rare times he showed frustration, but when Rodgers yelled at a receiver for running the wrong route, it was cool because he's a good player. It's just funny the leeway you can get if you're a good player. I guess that means you're "passionate and want to win", but if you do the same thing and, aren't that good, well then you're "just not a good leader". Eli Manning is another good one. His "body language" doesn't fit the status quo of what most people would probably want to see on their television screens. However since the Giants have won two Super Bowls under his guidance, it's brushed under the rug. Here's an idea. How about we consider one's body language being irrelevant to one's ability to throw a football well or move their feet in the pocket, diagnose a defense.

But he makes it more obvious than others when he's really mad. But ultimately doesn't really matter that much, I mean I doubt Rodgers teammates take it personally or anything.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 BTW, shout out to Aarron Brooks who smiled a couple of times after throwing an interception. Trolling his own fanbase. Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would've thought a simple take like this would be so meaningful. Seriously. How can someone judge a person based on "Body language" by just watching TV without knowing them personally? This is one of those cases where most people are over-thinking crap and are just being judgmental for the sake of it. I hate this new generation.

I don't like the players' "attitude", ergo he's got a body language issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The only QB with notable body language one way or the other to me is Rodgers. Notoriously crappy body language, but he always has, even when they're in the midst of a successful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_W Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I feel bad when the camera zooms in on the other team's QB after a defensive breakdown that loses them the game I don't drink tears edit: Rodgers body language is great once he's got the painkillers in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body language IS a real thing, and people subconsciously pick up on certain cues from the people around them. When you are tasked with being a leader, and the guy that the team is supposed to rally around, body language DOES MATTER. It has to do with how your teammates respond to your leadership in times of peril/stress. Why do you think they called Joe Montana 'Joe Cool'? Do you think it was because he drove a fancy car or wore his sunglasses inside? It was partly due to his overall calm demeanor aka his body language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imDelusional Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just going off the OP, I don't really see it from Flacco or Dalton, but I'll admit I'm not really paying that close of attention. Seeing Rivers on the "best" list surprised me, I feel like he's pretty whiney when things go bad. Also, as a few other have already mentioned, Eli Manning is pretty bad and I think Big Ben is up there, too. Mariota never sulks or gets demonstratively bad with his receivers, even though our offense is hot garbage, so I'm gonna throw in the homer pick there because I'm a Titans fan. I also think Bortles deserves some props in this particular category because as bad as it can get for him (or as good), he's always pretty even keel.
