Thanks Jacksonville.

You inflated Kaeps numbers and he is once again, over rated.

Cant stand him. Any QB would look alot better than they actually are on that team. Seems like every player is a pro bowler. Especially their offensive line. Gets under my skin like no other.

 

I know how you feel. 

 

Anytime he as to show patience in the pocket, he looks like a Wild Tatted Chicken, the way he shuffles his feet, gets fidgety, and obviously uncomfortable, then bolts!!

 

But they don't trust him anymore, and have shown they can win with him the same way they did with Alex Smith last year as essentially a game manager (with his wheels as a added dimension).

To the OP:

It would help (unless I'm missing it), to separate the passing TD's from total TD's, though I know you're being fair and including "total turnovers" as well.

I disagree.

With QBs like Cam, Wilson, Kaepernick, Griffin, and even Luck as the new "young guns" in this league (throw in Pryor and Smith and others as well if you wish), production from their legs is an integral part of their game. Next time I may provide rush yards or just add it with passing for total yards. Its a new day with these QBs.

If you wish to grade them on their arm alone, I'd be excited to see your own post providing that information.

I asked, cause I think Cam is a better pocket QB than all these guys, and it's still good to know the passing stats/separate them.

 

It's all good.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      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.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
