right, this is an extreme case. but for someone like DBs, who are often judged by picks and tackles, this is far bigger issue. you have a safety that picks some deflected passes and gets a pick from nothing. he couldve completely fukked up covering what he was supposed to, and still get a pick...

a 5 yard slant taken to the house by a WR can distort stats as well
but this wasnt a jab at QBs, for once. more to show even though stats are a big part of estimating whats good and what not, context is still extremely important.
thats why Im starting to dislike redzone babies. redzone shows all the redzone and scoring plays, but neglects the context of drives.
Minnesota has horrible options at QB, why do the Vikings refuse to get AP some real help

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
@bk if enough posters want to neg a poster in one thread can that poster then be temporarily banned from posting/making threads? 
I say that b/c I think @yseJ deserves a timeout for his views on QBs and awful thread making about QBs. Somebody had to say it brehs I'm gettin tired of seeing his bullshyt

awful thread making about qbs ? this is my first thread about qbs Ive made in forever 
I barely even make threads.
and funnily enough, its not about qbs at all, if you bothered to read it. its about stat distortion

Just remember Matt Cassell's first yr starting compares favorably with Tom Brady's first yr in the league @YouMadd?
Tom Brady's first full year as a starter(after already winning a superbowl) he put up 28TD/11INTs while Cassell put up 21TD's/11 INTs
That gap is a little farther than Matt Ryans 17TDs/11INT to Ponders 20TDs/12INTs in their respective first full seasons as starters
Now If Matt Ryan had a bunch of superbowls and was considered a top QB of all time, do you think I would be using his stats as a comparison to Ponder?

WRONG
Tom's first full year starting was in 2001 where he passed for 2800 yards, 18 TDs & 12 INTs
Cassell had almost 3,700 yards passing with 21 TDs & 11 INTs.
Again their first year starting they compare favorably

nothing wrong with a DB that can catch or be around the ball
we had a thread on here a few weeks ago saying Darren Sharper was underrated, primarily because he was a ball hawk.
IDA yeah the TO are cool but when you blow assignments and allow long gains because of freelancing that DB hurts the team.
OTOH unpredictable DBs do give QBs problems.

im actually cosigning. id rather have the reliable DB who i know will cover and will make a stop, versus the 1 in 10 guy.IDA yeah the TO are cool but when you blow assignments and allow long gains because of freelancing that DB hurts the team.

But, having a ball hawk isnt bad either.
