Brooks"I owned them pretty much the whole night with my eyes

Whodat, you\'ll do anything to facilitate the argument. NO ONE can succeed without the other. You\'re hung up on \"ranking\" and side stepping the fact that all these statistics you toss up into the wind are all relative to the players that surround the player who\'s stats you\'re discussing.

Now tell the truth. If AB had the kinda game Mcnabb had last week you\'d be in here with all kind of \"I told you so\'s\". On the other hand, if you were in charge, there\'s no way in hell or on earth that, after last weeks performance, you\'d sit Donovan down.

The question is why? Do you acknowledge all the droped passes and cut the QB some slack? Well, do you? If so, why Donavan and not Brooks? Do you think all the dropped passes hurt Donavan\'s numbers last week? Do you think McNabb\'s numbers...his QB \"statistics\" -- you know those numbers you think tell the whole story -- would be better if his receivers hadn\'t dropped so many passes?

I know you\'re a \"numbers\" guy Whodat...tell me...if we\'re not penalized early on 4th and inches and we make that first down and go on to score and the momentum of that game were a complete 180 versus what it was, how much credit does Aaron Brooks get for it? How much does he deserve? How responsible was he for the pentalty that the players all agree really set the tone early on?

Remember that in all your number crunching, Football is a TEAM sport and everyone\'s stats are in part relative to everyone else\'s. Go ahead and cut Donovan some slack cause as you stated earlier he\'s really the only guy they have. Is that right? Weren\'t they awefully close to the superbowl last year? Didn\'t he miss quite a few games due to injury? They did pretty well for a bunch of \"nobodys\" minus their Star QB \'d say. would\'nt you?

What I think Billy is trying to say, and I could be wrong (but it\'s not likely), is that if you\'re gonna start judging a QB by numbers alone, perhpas looking at TD passes and points on the board would be a good place to start. If you start trying to judge a guy based on how well he did last season in NOON games in the second half when the wind was blowing from the southeast and the temperature was between 49 and 70 degrees etc etc you just MIGHT have an agenda. At least that\'s the way it appears to me.
