It isn't fair to compare their numbers. It isn't telling either.
Right...because Alex didn't have the right coaching, because Alex had too many offensive coordinators, because Alex was hurt, because Alex didn't have the surrounding cast, because Alex had diaper rash when he was little, because Alex got yelled at by mean Mr. Nolan, because Alex is still young, because Alex is the second coming of Joe Montana but is just pretending to be Steve Dils to test our loyalty, because Alex had all the pressure of being the #1 pick in the draft, because Alex had to deal with tough questions from the media, because Alex just needs time to adjust to the speed of the game, because Alex didn't play in a pro style offense in college, because the Zone is mean to Alex, because Alex didn't get enough love as a child, because Alex broke up with his girlfriend, and is, like, TOTALLY heartbroken, because Alex's teammates aren't nice enough to him, because Alex is a sensitive young poet of the gridiron who's just misunderstood, because Alex had to worry about taking care of his family, because Alex had to have his family take care of him, because Alex is a Mormon and Mormons are discriminated against, because Alex is white and whites are discriminated against, because Alex is male and males are discriminated against, because Alex is a black albino and black albinos are discriminated against, because Alex has ADD, because Alex is too thoughtful, because Alex had to concentrate on fighting the evil Sauron, because Alex was busy preparing propaganda for the coming proletarian revolution, because Alex was busy editing his dialectical treatise on the hermeneutics of pocket presence in the age of Michael Vick, because Alex....
because Alex...
because Alex...
