Di, I wasn\'t saying that on the thread about viable QB alternatives I didn\'t use stats. I meant that above when I mentioned McMahon, I didn\'t use stats cuz I wasn\'t comparing the two.

I think the red zone ints are overstated too though. Not because there wasn\'t that many or AB didn\'t lead the league, but because, again, that could be a sympton of a problem in another area. Just hear me out...

Farther back on the field even though the o-line wasn\'t giving AB as much time as any QB would need, he could rush his throws and get away without an int. Near the goalline this is not the case because the field is smaller. Thus, the number of sq yards each defender has to cover is smaller and there is not as much room. Mental mistakes are part of it, but I say that your stat about red zone ints is an indication of a problem bigger than AB. Without protection and without being able to pick up blitzes, it\'s plain to see why he might rush some throws or make bad decisions.

This doesn\'t mean he isn\'t to blame on redzone INTs. I just don\'t think they are entirely a product of his QB play alone.
