While some might look at the results of that game/his numbers/picks he threw that game, I felt he made a several very nice throws that either were dropped or called back.
The point is, you can't just look at the numbers or the win/loss record to accurately judge a QBs performance week by week.
Yessir, that's a good example WB, I agree
I agree too. The other problem that I see a lot is that people tell whatever story they want with certain stats - you have to take in the entire body of work, good and bad. To truly evaluate players. Especially in football, where it's a true team sport/dynamic.
im sure I'm guilty of it at times too but it's important to be conscious of it. I never understood the people who say Jimmy sucked, that doesn't make any sense. You can say you don't look at him as a good qb (aka then he is mediocre), but to say bad - is odd. He did a lot of things really well and a lot of things very poorly. I just view him as an above average qb in this league, which sucks cause I had a lot to hope for him. You can win a lot of games with him with the right team around him, but you're screwed if the team isn't playing super well.
anyways. I'm glad we have Brock and the trust kyle has shown in him. Going for it on the last play before the half against the rams, instead of kicking the field goal, was freakin awesome. When those kind of plays work, they're major major game changers - especially early in the season. Generate so much confidence in the players.
