This might be my new favorite terrible take/excuse

 

We're never going to approach common ground on this topic if we can't ALL agree this is a preposterous take.

So now the average is predicated on the total number of QBs who have started at least one game for any NFL team? Seems like pretty a tortured way of defining what average is. 

lol as much torture as thinking 3:1 td to int (Jackson) or 4:1 td to int ratio (rivers) is considered the normal average for an nfl starting QB. I’d consider bridgewater the definition of average QB. How many times has he had a 3:1 season where he’s thrown for 25+ tds? Yeah he’s never done that. Also taysom hill started 8 games. Is he in the 32  that’s 1/2 of a season as a starter? And if he is then he and brees are both in the top 32 meaning another starter from another team you just eliminated which seems wrong of you to do so. So really just saying well there’s 32 teams so 32 starters is a flawed way. So once Again you continuously leave out variables  

 coming from the guy who told me he talked about totality but meanwhile completely dismisses the first 2.5 quarters of kaepernick’s performances and solely focuses on the last 1.5 quarters to justify he played well ALL 60 mins. Im sorry when a QB doesn’t play well for at least half of the game, i don’t think it’s a stretch to say he didn’t play well enough to justify he had a good performance or a winning performance   

Again if you think Colin Kaepernick played well in the first 2.5 quarters of the Super Bowl then we are done.

Actually you can respond I’m moving on cause your hypothetical is basically what russell Wilson did last year with rodgers and allen being more consistent all year and getting more votes then him.

Interesting to look at the Reagor non-TD on this film.  When Hurts lets go of the football Reagor is at the 15-yard line and well within the boundary.  The Niners DB initiates contact with Reagor as the ball is in the air, Reagor fights through the contact and actually makes an excellent effort to come down with the ball.  Most WR are not going to get to the ball, much less catch it. 

Definitely should have been an illegal contact penalty on the defense; the only way Reagor can get to the ball is to do exactly what he did.  Unfortunate his heel hit the boundary as he was fighting through contact -- but that's clearly illegal contact if not DPI.

The assertion that this play demonstrates a shortcoming on Reagor's part?  Pure baloney.

 

Yup, I've watched that play at least ten times and every time I wait for the flag.

Another play to reagor in the 3rd on a scissor route he was open and Jimmy ward at safety makes obvious illegal contact with him at about 20 yards down field, again no call and ward breaks it up, could have been a TD without the illegal contact, again refs ate the flag.

Frustrating to watch.

Yes.  It came down to Manu and I disagreeing on whether running ability is a bonus or not for a QB.  He says it should be part of the evaluation process, and I put it more as a bonus.   I think we met somewhere along the way in terms of understanding what the other is saying.  The rest of the conversation is mostly talking past one another.

Surprising... 

Meh, nobody watched Buffalo back in the day.  He's always been a crafty backyard football/draw plays in the dirt kinda QB.

Yea but they are going to use it without realizing how much of a slap in the face excuse it is to a guy who puts in all the work at the gym and gets tired out before a shlub like this

Or this guy whose arm is not tired 21 years later

Yeah I've never heard this excuse before, I mean sure if hurts were throwing 95 mph fast balls every pass then yeah 4th quarter go to the bull pen but he's not.

I mean can you imagine you're qb in the 4thqtr not throwing deep cuz his arm is spent???

Stupid take.

I can't believe someone typed that out, thought it was a smart take, hit "tweet", didn't immediately delete hoping no one took a screen shot, and then decided to keep it up a full day after a game Hurts only threw 23 total passes and only 7 that went further than 20 yards. Most of the deep passes were in the first half anyway.

Not at all. It was a joke going back a bit because like Hurts fans, many vegans get uppity when you don't eat the way they do. Just like how the pro-Hurts group get uppity when you criticize him.

I honestly couldn't care less what a person eats.

The fact that he seems somewhat bothered by it proves your point

Was that the one where he also almost threw a pick? There was one to the right side to smith (want to say 4th quarter) where it probably should’ve been picked off and luckily it wasn’t.

No, this was the 1st quarter before his arm got tired on the Reagor non TD drive. It's at 2:40 of that Smith video two pages back. Smith was wide open for days. Hurts was super late and high, Smith took a shot in the kidneys for 5 yards.

Cool. I was going to say i know there was one later in the game cause the niners fan at the bar and I both looked at each other and were like that should’ve been picked
