Trent Dilfer etched his name in history as one of the few quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens after a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants to close the book on the 2000 season.
But Dilfer made waves Monday when a clip from his segment in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary “Bullies of Baltimore” was posted into the social media stratosphere. He seemed to downplay the accomplishments of quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.

“Today’s game doesn’t impress me. It’s super easy when you don’t get hit at quarterback, and when you can’t redirect receivers, and when you can’t hit guys up the middle. I love Tom Brady, I love to Aaron Rodgers, I love these guys. It’s not impressive. What’s impressive is what they did,” he said, pointing to his former Ravens teammates.

Dilfer took over the starting role from Tony Banks after Baltimore went several weeks without an offensive touchdown. He won seven straight games as the team’s starter and then led Baltimore to four playoff victories, including the Super Bowl.

He only completed 20+ passes twice that season and didn’t need to complete 10+ passes in the postseason until the game against the Giants.
The defense, behind Ray Lewis, Peter Boulware, Rod Woodson and others, was a real force to be reckoned with. The defense only allowed 10.3 points per game and did not allow more than 10 in the playoffs.
