I'm sure OP complained about Marvin and Alexander (he can correct me if I'm wrong). If he would have complained about Andy, would it be cherry picking to not include his post-season performances? Or if he complained about Eifert's durability would it be cherry-picking to point to his dominance when healthy?

Bottom-line Mr Brown gave a thoughtful and courteous reply. Folks are just mad. 

So first you say he wasn't cherry picking, then you seem to be making the argument that it's okay to cherry pick because he was answering a question

selectively choose (the most beneficial items) from what is available.

Using Marv's record over the last 6 years is cherry picking. It's taking his best regular season stretch, and ignoring his previous 8 years as well as his playoff record - which is why most folks "just want to be mad".

Bringing up 1000 yard rushers as a defense for PA is asinine. That's a very archaic way of judging rushing success. We could have a 1000 yard rusher and be among the least efficient and productive rush offenses in the league. That's actually happened many times over the last decade.

I think it's very thoughtful of Mike to actually take time to write back disgruntled fans himself. He doesn't seem like a bad person at all. That doesn't make his thought process any less frustrating though. I get that you probably agree with him - at the very least on Marv. Maybe on Paul too.
