Quote:I could do the same for Gabbert, Mallet, Locker, Henne, etc. The point is good QB's don't need excuses, they make things happen and make the team around them better. Luck walked on to a team that won what, 1 game? He still produced. Mariota walked on to a team with 2 wins and was one of the worst offensive teams last year, yet threw for 6 TDs in two games. They aren't just 'arbitrary' stats, they are an attempt at providing an objective analysis, that when coupled with game tape, give insight into the relative performance of players.

 

sometimes stats tell the story.  Sometimes they don't, my friend.

 

By saying you could do the same for Gabbert, specicially calling out Gabbert and comparing him to BB5 shows you don't really know what you're talking about.

 

You can indeed point to statistics that show Gabbert as OK instead of a bust, but if you actually WATCH jaguar football and have an understanding of the game, you know he's a bust and not OK.

 

The converse is true for BB5.  The stats don't show the entire picture.  Whether you want to believe it or not is irrelevant.  The facts are the facts.  

 

Just because you live in a cave and see shadows projected on a wall does not make it reality, no matter how much you want to try and believe it...  

 

You don't watch Jaguar football, so you don't know.  Don't try to come here and act like an expert.  It's pathetic.
