You and the OP weirdly respond, act and even type in the same way...also, the only person to agree with him...just saying.

You've never read my post(s) before then. I've time and time again provided in depth analysis from my years of playing, outside of statistics but with actual Football knowledge. No, I've never, EVER claimed to be something I wasn't, and I don't always believe stats tell the true story. Rarely do I use them, and in fact, I haven't really used a single stat in this thread, outside of using several other analysis thoughts on the players...because at the end of the day, isn't that what we are doing now!?

You're 100% correct. Players grow, adapt and change. That being said, I don't see a single post that I've done in this thread where I've sighted a draft analysis that wasn't incorrect to what we are seeing now. Strengths/weaknesses have aligned to what we have seen from these QBs.

Evaluating players is entirely subjective.

He seems to be spearheading the idea with AJM. Which, I don't believe to be the fix.

As I've stated over, over and over, to the boy I've been blue in the face. I've received dozens of rep points for simply stating that games are WON and LOSS in the trenches. Football is made with the fat guys up front, both sides of the ball dictate the game going forward. If you have 5 seconds to pass the ball. You're going to win football games. If you can create a crease, and get 5 to 8 yards a play, you're going to win games. IF you can rush four, successfully, you're going to win football games. Period. Games are won and loss with line play (I'll throw in Houston's previous loss, when they traded away a pro bowl tackle, who was replaced...who eventually gave up a strip sack).


When you have a team with THREE pretty good to above average running backs, and you can't even muster more than 50 yards on a team that is DEAD LAST in run defense...You have issues. Pointing at Dalton, and blaming him is the short sighted issue.
