MMQB Ranks the running Qbs.

Recommended Posts

He's comparing a quarterback who had as he states 2 designed runs (0 successful) to other quarterback's with 37-59 designed runs.

 

Why is Luck even in this article?

 

Because like...

 

if your like sacked...

 

then like, you were running...

 

so it like counts or something

 

 

I'm so stoned

True but this wasn't written by Peter King...

everyone knows that. it's also pretty well known that everything that is produced by mmqb is heavily influenced by that fat man. he carries a lot of weight everywhere, but esp. on mmqb. it doesn't matter who writes stuff there, it all goes through the same set of lenses and has the same biases.

The problem with his his "good decisions" to run is that he said they made the decision only after a play broke down, not if he abandoned a working play.

 

I'm sure there are times when Cam gets to the line of scrimmage and says, this is going to open up for me to make a run, and once the play starts and he sees that happening, he just takes off knowing he's going to make a solid play, hence his high percentage in his scrambles being successful.

The article even concedes that most of Newton's "incorrect" scrambles were postive plays and resulted in some of his best runs.

All that tells me is that Newton has more faith in his ability to make plays than he does his receivers, which was probably true last year.

So I sat down and read the article, and frankly, it's pure off season fluff.  There is nothing you can really get out of it other than "This dude thinks this, now click and get angry!"

 

I mean, all of his "measurements" are subjective.  The fact of the matter is that the entire world thinks Andrew Luck can do no wrong.  Luck is a really great QB with a real great understanding of the game who happens to be a very good athlete.  We get it world.

 

I'm not worried.  Cam has done nothing but get better, and he will continue to do so.  We play in a tougher conference than the Colts do so Luck's numbers will always look better, and his offense is more QB stat friendly.  I'm not going to discount that Luck isn't a heck of a player.  No way, dude is a great player already.  But I still love Cam, and I have zero desire to trade QBs with Indy.

 

So when it comes down to it, who cares.  Cam was a major part of why we won 12 games last year.  In the playoffs, our holes got expsoed by an angry team who came in with a huge chip on their shoulder.  We tried to get better (like everyone else in the NFL), and we'll see what it all looks like in a few months when the season starts.

 

I feel good about my team =)

contrived drivel       No Defensive Co. in the league will say they fear  Lucks running ability more than either of the other 4.     I wish this mockery of journalism would stop.  Just stop.  My mind is bleeding
