Because the point being made by many here, not specfically yourself was that his injuries are what caused his "downward spiral" and caused us to go from 8-3 to 9-8 when he's been effectively the same guy all year and the difference was the defense not him. 

Some people here actually think he was elite and the reason we were 8-3 even tho he had something like 12 tds 7 ints 7 fumbles around that record. Laughable.

I'm the one that brought the statistical change in his play to the board.  I don't recall anyone saying it all went downhill for him after the injury, if so, call them out. I only said that such an injury affected him and very likely contributed to our fortunes down the stretch as we were in all but the bucs game into the 4th quarter.  So a more accurate pass here or there might've made the difference in a TD or a 1st down or in the results of the game.  It in no way exonerates the defense which had fallen off a cliff down the stretch.  All phases contribute.  The argument was either lost on you or ignored.  I firmly believe we win the Bengals game had he not gotten injured despite the defense and if so, we'd be in the playoffs right now and would be having much different conversations.
