I like how Jimmy said "I played the entire Titans game with it hurt, so I think I can go this week." Uh, you had one of your worst career games. How about sit this one out…
I agree he didn't play great but let's get real he had an 88 rating. If one of your "worst career games" is an 88 rating
Did you watch the game or just look at stats? He lost us the game.
To a degree.
But then also to a larger degree anyone who believes that one single player loses a game that features 22 men on the field at almost all times is being extremely short sighted.
Jimmy played his part in the loss without a doubt. So too did the defense that allowed Tennessee to get into field goal range and allowed a 20 plus yard scramble to Tannehill with the game on the line. That after bottling up Tennessee's offense for the entire first half with Tannehill having a high completion percentage but no big plays started to rather routinely give up big chunk plays in the second half.
Heck Trent Williams jumping early was a big play that turned a makeable 4th and 1 into a 4th and 6th that we didn't convert late in the game. Didn't Alex Mack have a holding penalty or someone did to erase a nice play as well?
I'm no "Jimmy stan" whatever we call that or wherever we came up from that. I think all in all he's been a pretty good quarterback and I've defended him on here because if nothing else I've seen franchise after franchise get it wrong year after year if not for decades trying to find their go to franchise quarterback. Jimmy it would seem is clearly not that but the grass isn't always greener with other guys either.
People can't have it both ways. They can't say, "You can't cite Jimmy's won loss record because that's a team stat" and then say, "Jimmy lost us the game" when there were 10 other guys on offense, and more than that subbing in, 11 guys on defense, and more than that subbing in, and guys on special teams who in multiple cases and perhaps at multiple times screwed something up along the way.
Absolutely love your post Ohio, always the voice of reason.
Thank you
Yes it's a team game where the QB matters the most. He lost that game. Inaccurate, won't go deep, timid, holding on too long etc etc. he was a mess.
And yet again, kind of like the Seattle game where he started hot, got hurt, and played poorly until he ultimately left, if he got hurt and especially if he tore his UCL ligament than yes his accuracy will suffer and yes his confidence in what he could do on the field might have suffered as well.
I'm not trying to make excuses for him as he is who he is. But what's funny is what everyone who wants to continually throw him under the bus for almost literally every single loss in a given season, and yes that occurs, almost none of those same people credit him for finding a way to battle through and rally to almost every single team come down the field and tie the game or take a lead.
And if the QB matters most than the QB matters most on
both sides of the field and on both teams. Which means conversely you'd better be able to cover the other team's receivers. And too many times we can't do that. Particularly with Norman and Thomas, or even Lenoir or *gasp* Dontae Johnson.
Team games are team games, in
all team sports and if there's a letdown somewhere than it's up to other guys to play a bit better. If your pitcher gets shelled score more runs. If your hitters aren't hitting pitch and field better. I know that's easy to say behind a computer but the reality is too even as Kittle said, "Our best players didn't play their best game." That means not only Jimmy, but Kittle, Williams, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner... but of course it solely and completely is Jimmy's fault. Sorry not buying it.
