Last year his QB rating was 86.4. The two other seasons he was 90+. Not a down year in 2013, he nearly went to the SB for the 2nd straight season. He never plunged to the depths of the 70s, or in the case of Manning, the 60's in QB rating.
He's in year 3 as a full-time starter. Those seasons for the above QBs happened in Year 3, 5, 6, and 10.
So you tell me, since these QBs are natural pocket passers, understand their progressions, are "real" QBs,.. and all that good stuff.....how is it they had such terrible seasons? They had quality skill positions players to throw to, go look up their rosters. What was their excuse? Since there is no excuse for Kap, he just sucks, right?
I just pointed out 3 highly regarded QBs in a span of a few seasons that had down years worse than Kap's. There's many more throughout NFL history if you take the time to look, and yet people continue to blow it off like it never happened, and that Kap's situation is somehow "different" and that he could "never" overcome it.
People want to doubt Kap, and that's fine. Completely warranted. I have my doubts as well, but I wouldn't close the book on him just yet. We still have 13 games to play.
Oh please. He's clearly on a downward spiral. Preforming worse with no pressure at all, deep ball accuracy declining each year, turnover to TD ratio suffering, in 2014 it was 19 TD's to 15 turnovers. So far in 2015 it's 2 TD's to 5 turnovers!!! It just gets worse when we look at the stats closer. PFF ranking arent pretty.
