When you put up 40, you credit the offense. When you only score 12, you credit the defense if you win. It's not any more complicated than that. |

Re: QB Controversy
Through the years, however, when Brees has had bad performances nobody has been allowed to say that he was bad. There's always been some weird, abstract analysis given to try to prove that he was somehow managing the game. Like as if he planned it that way.
Never made any sense to me. |

Re: QB Controversy
.......?
Did you read what I said? If the offense scores 40, you credit them. If they score 12 and win, you credit the defense. That's what I said. In what way did I insinuate that scoring 40 and losing is the offense's fault? It seems like you don't want to see a simple point for what it is. |

Re: QB Controversy
It is these type of arguments I was being satirical about with my post. Maybe you are too

You're missing the main point, though, again. I'm not saying Brees sucks and should be immediately supplanted by Teddy Bridgewater. I'll leave you folks to argue about that, if you want to. It's the idea that Brees can do no wrong. Your comment that I originally responded to was case in point. That you would try to frame a 12 point output as a good job by the offense, simply because they won, makes no sense. If the defense doesn't show up, it's a loss. When another QB puts up 14 points and loses, he sucks, and somehow he is also responsible for the defense sucking. There is no consistency there. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: QB Controversy
Seemed tome that just about every pass play Teddy was looking for MT till almost too late to hit anyone else. Coaches design or Teddy wanting in on record?
