slimjasi Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just now, Jetsfan80 said: But it WAS a large enough sample size to talk about Flacco being worse simply because he's 0-5, eh? No - My argument isn’t that Flacco is “worse” than Wilson, my argument is that playing Flacco is pointless. In order to justify playing Flacco, he would have to be head and shoulders better than every other QB on the roster and give us a legit chance to compete. But he really doesn’t.

I am saying you cannot tell diddly squat from 5 passes in a preseason game. That is all. I can show you a 5 pass sequence from any QB in NFL history and from that make each one look like either the best or worst QB in NFL history. 5 passes (really 2 here) does not tell anyone anything. You are dissecting a potential career based on 20-30 seconds of live action. You are attaching significance to an insignificant event. It is ridiculous. That is all. What I am describing is the progress ( or lack of it) I see. That is pretty much it. Can Zach be a good QB. Don't really know but he didn't do anything to convince me he is against the Eagles 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't judge progress on a player who will throw 500-600 passes this season in real games based on 5 (or 2) passes in a preseason game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco stinks and does not win at all. The love on this site for Flacco is truly bizarre. If you are going to go the draft a young QB route you have to take your lumps with suspect play for a few years. If you are not prepared as a team to do that you never draft a young QB high you just add vet QBs and build the rest of the team. As for Becton, the guy is a total bust and all you can hope for is that he surprises next year if he is here but you do not factor him in as a starting player at all. the back up qb is almost always the most popular guy on the team (until he comes in and plays a few games to show why he's a back up). as for flacco, i don't see him as ever being an elite qb. sure he won a superbowl but those ravens teams were also pretty darn good in all respects. maybe if he was a few years younger the feeling for flacco would be more logical. i think now about the only thing we can say is he's better than mccown and is capable of managing a game. at this point it sounds like he's going to be the starter to open the season. they're saying wilson will be ready in 2-4 weeks but i don't think they'll rush it. after becton the last thing they need is for a guy to come back and then go down again.

It's pushing back on ridiculousness. There's certainly reason to be skeptical of Wilson or heck even, as you stated, have no hope - it's fine. There's plenty of reasons to have those feelings. But to use 5 passes in a pre-season game as justification for it is just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
