About AB and the Saints...

:casstet: Here we go again...

As usual, you took a line or two out of a post and ignored the rest. That\'s fine, I expect no less.

I believe AB\'s inconsistent play has MORE to do with the inconsistency surrounding him.

That\'s okay ... he believes that, too.

But, first, who are the QB\'s who perform on a consistent basis?

I never brought up these guys, I don\'t even like most of them. But you want to argue about them, so I guess I\'m your huckleberry...

Favre - SUPER BOWL win, hasn\'t missed a game since 1992, 61.5 career comp %, almost 50K career passing yds, 376 TD\'s to 226 INT\'s, a career passer rating of 87.4 (92.4 this season) dispite playing under the conditions in Green Bay. Not too shabby. Think Brooks will ever achieve this much?

Green - 60.4 comp %, almost 20K yds, 133 TD\'s & 82 INT\'s in 5 1/2 years as a starter. 89.2 career passer rating (95.2 this year). All this despite his best receiver being a TE. Plays in often cold and windy KC.

He-who-shall-not-be-named - SUPER BOWL appearance. A 58.6 comp %, almost 3,900 yds, 29 TD\'s & 15 INT\'s with an 87.3 passer rating this season. This on a team whose injuries made it look like a victim of the bubonic plague. 3 RB\'s, the #1 WR, and a handful of linemen all suffered sidelining injuries and many others played hurt. Plays outdoors.

Bulger - oh look, another castaway! 64.6 comp %, almost 10K yds, 57 TD\'s & 42 INT\'s in 2 1/2 years as a starter. 89.7 career passer rating (93.7 this season). Played behind one of the worst O-lines ever to take the field this season in St. Louis. A couple of them were even called out of retirement in a weak attempt to fill the holes. Virtually no help from the running game. Still made the playoffs. Plays on turf in a dome.

Matt Hasselbeck? Nope. He\'s far from the consistent QB you are looking for.

Aww, c\'mon Billy. I\'m not even gonna respond to that...

Now let\'s talk Leon:

Brooks - proving his greatness with a career 56.5 comp %, 16K yds, 107 TD\'s & 67 INT\'s in 4 1/4 years as a starter. 81.5 career passer rating (79.5 this year). I\'m gonna go light and not even LIST his fumbles. Less playoff wins than any of the QB\'s you mentioned. O-line isn\'t great, but isn\'t the worst, either. Plays on turf in a dome.

How many consistent QB do you know who have the worst defense

Well ... Culpepper, P. Manning, Bulger, Favre, and Green all play on teams with pretty suspect defenses.

a terrible offensive line

SEE ABOVE: Bulger. Green Bay and Minnesota\'s lines weren\'t spectacular this year either.

and receivers who drop the ball on a consistent basis

Well, you mentioned Hasselbeck. Seattle has been the undisputed ball-dropping kingdom for a couple of years now. With the exception of Randy Moss, you\'ll notice Culpepper suffered through alot of dropped passes himself.

Billy, I only used players YOU brought up. Fire up some of that old Gumbo logic now!

I can hardly wait... :icon_eyesroll:
