I see this all the time when folks bash Shula. Run, run, pass, punt. And I am just not sure how that works out? I mean, we run the ball slightly more than we pass. Which, if my math is right, means for every 2 runs, we throw 2 passes. So run, run, pass would seem to be a mathematical impossibility.

 

So don't let math, or facts, get in the way of a good rant.

 

 

This year is different because we've been behind a lot, so we've passed more than we've thrown.

But last year?  501 pass attempts, 526 rush attempts.

2014 was another more-pass-than-run year and, looky there, its because we were behind a lot and yet again had a losing record.

2013, 12-4?  473 passes, 483 rush attempts.

Ron and Mike would always rather run the ball than throw it.

Still. For the run, run, pass to actually work. We would need to run the ball twice as much as we pass, which we don't.

 

So it is obvious folks are once again stretching the truth to make a point. Bad math=bad point.

Other than not adjusting, I really think he only trusts one receiver and he's a TE.

Same receivers from last year with one addition... so I am saying that he trusted them last year why not this year??

Well, I didn't read it as the literal truth, his statement screamed hyperbole to me.

Hyperbole that is effective because it reveals the greater truth, i.e. Mike Shula is an unimaginative dumbass.

There are a myriad of ways to show the truth. Satire, sarcasm, hyperbole, and out and out lying are all ways to sway the truth. But they all have one thing in common, they all depend on the recipient being able to read through the crap, and come to their own conclusions.

 

As to Shula, I have to respectively disagree. Shula has designed a great Offense. The problem is, he doesn't know how to get the best out of it.

 

If you want to be fair, you can find truth in anything. If you want to be biased, you can spin anything to your point of view.

 

What it all boils down to is this. Do you trust what you see?

 

What do your eyes, and brain, tell you about this team? Then look around the league. IMO, the one thing this year has shown? Is that this league is never what you would expect it to be. Other than the Pats.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
