Your post basically asserted that Dalton was inaccurate because his completion percentage was the same as EJ. But thats not the case at all. While they both had the same completion percentage as per the stats you cite, Dalton got the ball to where it needed to be pretty much all day. EJ didn't do that and was lucky to be bailed out by some athletic catches from his receivers on a number of errant throws. It may have been helpful to look at a supplementary stat like YPA. Dalton had 7.4 YPA for the game. EJ had 6.3. YPA. So one of these QBs was completing a lot of shorter dink and dunk like passes to pad his stats while not moving the chains while the other QB was airing it out more and both putting points on the board and moving the chains.

You must not have watched the game then.

Oh c'mon. He has maintained consistent posting quality over several seasons. Saw Firechan pull up a gem from him a while back where it was stated that Aaron Maybin would see the Pro Bowl before Marcel Dareus.

Isn't the much maligned Nate Hackett the QB coach for the Jags.

I seem to recall someone posting a video of Mike driving and enjoying a joint during his stint here. He certainly posted good stats at Tampa but the relative lack of interest in him after his release seem to discredit the notion that Marrone misused him.

I did read here though that he was looking pretty spry for those 10 carries.

Pretty brave . You really think EJ against a very stout Cinci defense is going to put up big numbers compared to Matt Ryan against a struggling New Orleans ?

Although he is not a immobile like a Brady, Manuel does not have anywhere near the running ability of TT (or Kap, Cam, Russell, etc). I seriously doubt that there would be many designed runs for EJ.

To be fair, BB has had a much more varied list of desired QBs over the years. Colin Kaepernick John Skelton Tyler Wilson Tyler Bray Blake Bortles Johnny Football

Yes, Freddie's 5 touches a game-even with Marshawn out-truly make a difference.

Freddy is playing a bit role in Seatlle. Maybe 4-5 touches a game. Would expect his numbers to look decent with a limited role where he is not the go to back.

Well since Luck is an awful QB, maybe the Bill can package a few low round picks and make a trade to take him off of Colts hands.

To be fair , it was not just BB who wanted to trade for Mallett in past. With his mythical upside--which still hasn't shown up-- Mallett was apparently worth as high as a 2nd rounder.

Kap = BB approved QB. Trade for Kap.

No. EJ > Luck.

I would argue that there is no causality here and that Rodgers, Young , and even Tyrod only sat because the QB in front of them was considered better at the time.

What makes you think RG3 is salvageable? What about Kap? Similar skillset with same type of regression as read option goes way of dodo.

Teams are hesitant to bring in Welker at this point because of the concussion history.

If a different rule was in place, we probably would have won KC game last year.

Because opposing team will get the ball even if they did not establish possession of it after a fumble.

Brian aka Blake Bortles

Kiko is not above average, He's a legend as per lots of folks here.

Last year's was the "Emperor's New Clothes"

Ahh. I see the EJ apologists are coming out of the wood work.

Earlier this month, Astro had a pretty cool post on that included some stats for Freddie over past few seasons. Here is a link -> http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/180538-astro-notes-for-preseason/?do=findComment&comment=3666815 In it you can clearly see that Freddie's productivity has been in a steady (sometimes steep) decline the past few seasons. Is it really worth it keeping someone because people are emotionally vested in him? Likely not. Except that Freddy isn't a fullback and fullbacks typically play a much larger role beyond pass blocking.
