Broncos stat that everyone will ignore...

I don't think that throwing the ball 20 times a game should be a qualifier. Trent Dilfer didn't average 20 throws/game in the Ravens' 2000 Super Bowl season. (I'm neither calling The Golden Calf of Bristol a Dilfer nor the Broncos a Ravens, just saying it can't be ruled out by that 1 stat)

Actually Tony Banks and Trent Dilfer started 8 games each that 2000 Super Bowl season. They combined for 504 attempts in 16 games or 31 pass attempts per game.

They had 511 rush attempts, a nice 50/50 ratio.

While the defense was #1 overall that year their offense was 14th in points scored and 16th in total yards, not too shabby.

They did reel in Dilfer in the post season but he did throw the ball 26 times in the Super Bowl.

thing is, The Golden Calf of Bristol is averaging 20 throws a game.. he's only completing 45% of those..

I'm really not trying to hold down 1 stat as my main point as much as I am trying to say 1 simple thing: watch The Golden Calf of Bristol try to complete a much higher percentage of passes, however many attempts that might require.... and then see if he can win games.. when defenses force him to throw and figure out how to stop the option, he has nothing left other than to be a true QB...

how will that turn out? maybe he can prove me wrong, but I find it hard to believe anyone would take him as THEIR qb for the future based on him "winning now"..

I was wondering if you could move out New Orleans, Atlanta and Tampa Bay and bring in San Diego, Oakland and Kansas City. Please?

You act like we could beat any of those teams anyway. Tampa blows btw. The future of QBs which is Josh Freeman fuging sucks.

God damn the Raiders would smash the living poo out of us. I'm not sure how much longer I can handle being worse than the Raiders and Lions. Couple years and running now.

tell me this tho TRD, off topic, you say matt ryan is not that good of a QB, why?

He looks to me to be making your statement incorrect at the moment.

I think he's a game manager, possibly good, nowhere near elite.

Nothing wrong with being a game manager, most QBs in the league are, he's just not as good as people want to believe. I think he's had the lowest YPA for the last couple of years (Maybe now with Julio it's changed) and that screams Game Manager.

Very few QBs in this league can win on their own and elevate their team, maybe 4. The rest are largely a product of the situation they are in and the cast they have around them.

most games the ATL wins come from a major push off from their receivers.. Matt Ryan is clutch, FTW!!!!!!!!!!

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
