I'm almost flabbergasted how you can come up with that. Average is easy to figure out. If there are 10 things, 5 and 6 would be considered average (in the middle). If there are 11 things 5 would be considered average (in the middle). That's how i come up with it.
That aside, it's pretty easy to figure out what i did. I took a number; 5,000 yards, 10,000 yards, etc., and posted where he ranked alongside QBs who had the same amount of yards, since 2011, in passer rating. Before that, i was looking for a game in prime time or the playoffs where he led the team to a win, by a last minute drive or an overall great performance.
Problem is, people who get 'the butthurt' when a Bengals player is shown in a negative light, don't want to discuss or refute what has been said or asked, they just want to soothe their butthurt.
If i were on the other side, i would acknowledge that he hasn't really done what i asked (because he hasn't), then i would point out that in several categories, he ranks very well among his peers.
Going on the 2,500 yard marker, since 2011 (72 QBs qualify), he's;
10th most in yards
10th most in TDs
2nd overall in 4th QTR comebacks, and
3rd in Game Winning Drives, only 1 behind Drew Brees.
Then i'd point out that his biggest shortcomings--something i used to do back in 2013--(besides not being able to step up under brighter lights) are, his completion percentage is only ranked 29th and he's thrown the 7th most INTs in that time. Those have ALWAYS been the 2 things that have kept him down the QB rating list. Again, something i always pointed out in 2013.
But again, too many people are worried about soothing the butthurt instead of debating a topic...and God forbid, agreeing with someone's less than glowing fact-based opinions.
