Numbers are the objective reality of performance. Far better than just some random eye test
Of course. Nobody said he was great and nobody said he is a finished product. This thread (see title) is making it seem like he had a poor year...
sure his numbers are better but we still wouldn’t win enough games bc of the D If he had a good D, good pass catchers and better short accuracy...
I was saying he may be first overall this year back then and I was proven right. Heisman is a team award. An average pass catching group + an...
As a Bucs fan i wouldn’t be shocked at all if he’s third string again. I’m not sure why but he just hasn’t seemed to impress them
Signed Baker. Looks like Trask will remain buried
His passing was average his rushing was elite. It’s a good not great performance. Yes I would love great and we can’t win titles with the 30th...
AR was good, not great last year. The reason why our team stunk was defense. That seems pretty obvious. Our O wasn’t championship level but...
What numbers don’t matter? AR was empirically around the 30th best QB last year. Mertz 80. Mertz has multiple years starting with similar results....
This is of course a lie. AR was empirically the best rusher we’ve had in recent memory. His last 4 games he had 36 runs for 240 yards and a 6.6...
Mertz has historically been AR passing the ball and a negative running the ball. Hence why his overall numbers are well below AR and quite...
Not making excuses. He was the 30th best QB. I’m not the one saying he was better or worse than he was on the field
Shows 30th on his card. Probably some qualification issue. Either way that doesn’t change he was a solid good but not great QB for us. He wasn’t...
Running moves the sticks. Our O put up a reasonable amount of points. Regardless you have to evaluate the total package. You can’t just ignore...
The entire package is what matters. The rushing yards (career 6.9 yards per carry) has to be made up. Mertz will have to be significantly better...
Of course there is apathy 1. We aren’t very good 2. Player movement reduces attachment between fans and players 2 won’t change but 1 may
He was 30th in QBR. Rushing matters. You have to include it all
Rationalization of what? Mullen screwed up it is what it is.
Mullen obviously screwed up. AR while erratic was still the 30th best QB in football this year. Mullen played Jones over him. Jones is now on...
On one hand we have people that say AR didn’t try On the other we have people that say he’s brittle and was always playing hurt So he tried very...
