Good pitchers manage the game too. The guys who can dominate by striking guys out will always be more valued than a ground ball guy.

I'm not misinterpreting shyt. I know what people mean when they say game managing qb. And again, I take offense to that term because the qbs purpose is to manage the game. Another deragatory term is 'dink and dunk', as if throwing 10 passes for 4 yards each is any worse than throwing one for 40. So u have ppl like trip who will never admit pennington or garcia were good qbs because they had meh arms and couldn't throw lasers.

But lets also not call Alex Smith a good QB because he had a top QB rating for half a season.

We will get to see what he really is when he goes to a new team.

I guess we will, but if you look at the teams he came into this league with they were some of the least talented offensive teams each and every year almost.

They put talent around him and he has done nothing but improve.

Since 2009 his QB rating has increased year by year, all indications are that he is a player on the rise.

He`ll never be a great player, but he is a good QB who can win games

I didnt do that tho. I said it multiple times that this season he's regressed even though his qb rating went up a lot.

You are literally the only person I've ever seen call Chad Pennington a good QB to this day.
not my fault you hang with retards :manny:

This bizarre pillage youre on against arm strength and big plays is getting stupid.
I have nothing against big plays and arm strength. it doesnt matter to me HOW you get points.

AS LONG as you limit mistakes.
its YOU who has something against qbs with weak arms who did good job doing what the #1 job the qb has

which is....drum roll...to quote Jim Harbaugh, "to take care of the ball"

Jim Harbaugh saying this basically renders your argument to shyt

bu..bu...why did he bench alex for kaep ?
because kaep could do what alex did, he actually ended up with better int % than alex...

Your take on how the game is played, and how teams are winning football games is way off. .
there is ZERO difference between you getting a first down by 2 incompletions and a 10 yard pass, and you getting 4, 4 and 2 yards by "dinking and dunking"
ZE-fukking-RO unless you need points fast

a groundballer makes the hitter hit the ball to defense
a strikeout pitcher makes an out by himself and without runners advancing possibly

pretty big difference

in football it doesn't matter how you get a first down as long as you get it.

Dink and dunk is derogatory because it's implied that you're incapable of throwing one for 40, so when you need to get down the field in a short amount of time, you're unable to, which limits you and your team.

Same thing with game manager. Of course all QB's objective is to manage the game, but the elite QB's can take on more responsibility.

Alex Smith = game manager

Colin Kaepernick = a game manager who is capable of doing much more. Who did Harbaugh roll with? the one that can do much more

dink and dunk is used in general for everything that isnt long throws.

its just when brady and peyton do it, people dont call it that. they call it smart short throws to pickup a first down

That's dinking and dunking, but they're not known as dink and dunk QB's because they can air it out and score in a heartbeat if need be.

so you see there's double standards with the same base action in question

the fundamentals of football is to get x amount of yards per y amount of downs. it doesnt fukking matter how you do it. in todays passing league, running the ball and short passes are looked down upon unless its a proven flamethrower.

its disgusting.

Who are these QB's in todays game you think are good that get a bad rap for being game managers?

He went with Kapernick because Alex Smith: game manager dink and dunker whatever cliche you want to throw out there is more methoidcal and cant make as many big plays and if you fell 14-21 points down against a good team your chances of coming back with Alex the way he plays are slim to none

Its a big play league now i dont care how much it pains you and how you want a ILB to be as important as the qb it just isnt that way

The team that won the super bowl gave up 500 total yards in the game!!! there are no more great defenses you need to score and score a lot
