I think I've got it reverse engineered at this point. When the Bills are trailing by 8 or fewer points in the 4th Quarter, Tyrod is: 38/71 for 455 yards, 3 TDs and 5 INTs. He's taken 7 sacks, and he's converted 19 1st downs.

4 max (per ESPN's splits for '4th Q +/-7 pts). Which would mean over the past 3 years he's thrown 57 total passes while down by 8+ in the 4th.

We will be the wrench in someone's plans (I hope).

What stat did I defend, exactly? Our team wins more than it loses when he plays QB. I don't expect that to change after another offseason with this FO, even if he remains the starter.

So like 2nd round of the playoffs then?

You also need to realize that his production was not good, and he's coming off a catastrophic knee injury. It's completely possible that he never even gets back to where he was, which wasn't all that impressive to begin with.

You're better than this awful take. I think.

Also needs upgrading, if we're being honest.

Add KC to list of potential suitors either through trade or FA.

Right, but clearly it would've been much more effective if he passed on those attempts instead of sneaking.

Brady has 697 attempts for 1,108 yards (1.59 YPC) and 23 TDS in his career. I do actually pay attention to all TDs for all QBs

Brady has 23 including the post-season! Rodgers has 28, Big Ben has 19, Flacco has 17. It isn't negligible.

No, it's pretty common now actually. Why do you not want to give credit to a QB who sees an opportunity and runs for a TD? Guys like Newton, Rodgers, Wilson, Smith, Cousins, and yes even Brady give it purpose.

Maybe he'll go to Washington to reunite with Alex Smith

Not unless he comes very cheap, imo.

Except for that time 4 years before that where he started all 16 games for the 49ers. He threw for 2890 yards, 16 TDs, and 16 INTs. The team went 7-9. Only on this board does a discussion about Bradford not being anything more than a bridge turn into a TT defense... TDs are TDs. When Cam Newton won MVP did he have 35 TDs or 45 TDs? Over the past 3 seasons, does Kirk Cousins have 81 TDs or 94 TDs?

He had 20 TDs, not 23. What is the aversion to using actual numbers?

I don't think the answer is next year, even if we don't get one of the top 4. Drew Lock seems to be the best of the bunch, and he was slotted somewhere between 6th & 10th when it looked like he may come out this year.

I mean, there are ways for his AAV to be 29-30 but his 2018 hit is kept low. Just curious.

I mean, he's replacing Gruden. His whole purpose at the desk is puffing up what the guy did in college so that you feel good about your team's pick. Herbie will be very good at that imo. Riddick is the guy you want to listen to for how they might transition to the pros.

What's the plan to make Cousins' hit $25M?

You almost sold me on how good he is by reporting 2 versions of his completion % Over the past 3 years he's started 31 games. That's just over 10 per season, which you might balk at because he only started 2 in 2017, but it is right on his average for his career. 80 starts, 8 years. His completion % in those 31 starts is 68.6%, which is good. His YPA is 7.08, which is alright (It's lower than Tyrod who some people believe is a checkdown artist). He's accounted for 42 TDs in those 31 games, or 1.355 per game (Tyrod is at 1.477 over the same span). He's accounted for 27 turnovers, which makes his TD/TO rate 1.56, not 3 to 1 as you claim (Tyrod's at a 3.25 and he's scoring more per game). His TD% is 3.38% and his TO% is 2.17%. His ANY/A is actually nearly identical to Tyrod's over those 3 years at 6.23 to 6.25 respectively. If you really want to switch to a guy who accounts for more yards, less scoring, and more turnovers that's fine, but he's no more than a bridge.

Sam Bradford has never come close to playing as well as Smith did last year for more than a single game, let alone a season. And regardless of that, Alex Smith isn't going to come anywhere close to replicating his 2017 unless Washington brings in some serious help on O.

Teams are not going to evaluate Bradford on a single game vs his entire career. He's played 16 games twice in an 8 year career and he's been average when he has played. Bradford has never played in a playoff game in his 8 year career. You have no idea what he'd have done, especially with our roster instead of the ones he's had. I'd be willing to bet that 0 NFL GMs see Bradford as a long term solution, so he's a bridge.
