Former quarterback-turned-analyst-turned-coach Trent Dilfer found himself in hot water following his controversial take on modern quarterback play in the NFL – especially after he singled out Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
“The modern-day game does not impress me,” Dilfer said in ESPN’s “30 for 30” documentary on the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. “It’s super easy when you don’t get hit as a quarterback and when you can’t reroute receivers and when you can’t hit guys across the middle.
“I love Tom Brady. I love Aaron Rodgers. I love these guys. It’s not impressive. What’s impressive is what (old-school QBs) did.”

For what it’s worth, Dilfer is a very good analyst – But needless to say, there was a long line of people sharpening their knives after this particular take…
Trent Dilfer was so bad that the Ravens moved on from him immediately after winning this super bowl
That’s almost unheard of. That’s how bad he was https://t.co/TwPA8Y1V3e

Tom Brady is only 5 years younger than Trent Dilfer lmao
Their career overlapped for 7 seasons and it would have been longer if Trent was any good https://t.co/eToKHVRWqA

Dilfer was the worst QB to ever win a Super Bowl

Unfortunately for Dilfer, he is widely considered to be the worst quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl (2000 Ravens) – and some fans will never let him forget it…
