Quote:Look at his stats outside of the Bucs and Saints.   5 TD's, 5 INT's and QB rating significantly down.  Doesn't mean you can't be happy with his production, but put it in perspective.  

 

Bingo...  On top of that, BB5 is asked to throw the ball about 10 more times per game.  Again, he's being asked to do more than MM.  It's just the fact.  I mean, if you want to say MM has flashed potential, fine.  I can concede that.

 

But don't come here and tell me he's on the same clip as BB5.  It's just not the fact.  Marietotes is a game manager...  He checks down more than he pushes the ball down the field.  And based on thier D and their coaching that's what they are asking him to do.  Nothing wrong with that.

 

But BB5 is carrying the entire team on his back.  Our running game puts us in 3rd and intermediate or long alot.  He's gotta go down the field.  And he's doing a great job of it.  Let's see what happens when people start realizing that MM is captain check down...  Maybe he'll over-come it.  But we just don't know about him yet.

 

On the other hand, I think you are beginning to see how much of a threat BB5 is going to be for a very long time.
