I honestly wouldn't doubt this to be true. Because lord knows you wouldn't let facts get in the way of your opinion.
Oh, so you put out the disclaimer these are the facts that support my opinion BUT statistics can be deceiving. Good to know.
Negative stats... show me an example. Unless you are saying passing percentage, passing yards, yards per attempt, touchdowns and interceptions or QB Ratings aren't relevant. Ok, what stats not listed above am I forgetting? Which statistical information am I "cherry picking" that I should take out and which ones am I excluding besides GW drive victories.
Game Winning Drives
Kenny Pickett - 1
Desmond Ridder - 3
Sam Howell - 2
Brock Purdy - 0
There it is. You got me. I am a fraud, a liar, a prevaricator! The only stat that apparently matters is game winning drives so Brock Purdy is last and Kenny is 2nd to last. I guess we better throw out those touchdown stats because lord knows that has no meaning on the game. Doesn't matter if all those completions and touchdowns put your team in a position to win before the 4th quarter. Nah, you want to see a guy play mediocre for 3.5 quarters then have one good pass.
Because I haven't stated for 5 years that Art and Tomlin needs to go. Because I didn't say two years ago that Canada isn't anything better than Fichtner or Haley. Because I haven't repeated that this TEAM is mediocre or average. Kenny is the quarterback and if you ever were a quarterback you know that when your team succeeds you give them the praise, you tell them how well they played, blocked, caught, ran, etc and when you lose YOU put that weight on your shoulders. That is part of the job. That is what leaders of men do. He plays the most important position on the team. He can influence the outcome more than any other player. So yes, I am going to analyze his play.

6 weeks after Ben got hurt you were already childish name calling but you are mad because a year later I am comparing stats for Kenny Pickett? Show me where I named called Pickett?
"No calling bullshit. I don't even think it is a majority that think he is a franchise. I think you are confusing hoping with thinking." - slashsteel 11/3/2019
Already giving up on Rudolph after 7 weeks. But me analyzing Pickett after 550 attempts and 17 starts is wrong? Not even making a final determination but analyzing him.
"I need to see a drive and soon. Nothing against Rudolph but he isn't progressing. I think the leash on him should be short. Depending on what the next drive shows."
Less than two months later you are already judged Rudolph and stated he should be on a short leash. At this point Rudolph had thrown 203 passes and completed 131 of them for 64.5% 1,330 yards 11 tds 4 ints and had a 93 QB rating and I can't forget about the 1 game winning drive.
"He needs to be accurate and move the chains. Get back to those 100 QB rankings and 66 percent completion percentages."
Here you are using stats. That is so unlike you. I mean I didn't even read that disclosure of how stats don't mean everything and that you were only cherry picking that stats that you deemed important.
And here it is folks. Two months after Rudolph started already 100% given up on Rudolph.
"Their INT percentage is similar. What separates the two if one wishes to compare is
1 Duck's completion percentage is higher.
2 His yards gained per attempt is clearly better.
This isn't a crowning of Duck or a slamming of Rudolph. But it is clear that the Duck is playing better football. And then add in that he is more mobile and I think he clearly gives this team the best chance to win for right now."
How dare you cherry pick stats without the disclaimer that stats lie.
I am posting about Kenny. I admit it. He is our QB. I have not called him names or stated he isn't going to be the guy. But I guess Rudolph didn't fit your agenda and Kenny does. I have a habit of stating factual data to support my opinion. When I do the people who can't support their opinions gets butt hurt. Like you. Do you want me to show you your Pickett posts? Because I can. There's tons of you just slobbering over him and now recently you are starting to back off that. Probably so you can then try to convince everyone you weren't on the K8 Train. But "Choo Choo" you were all in. And people like me who are taking the wait and see approach and are making informed decisions with factual data and observations will always come out better than knee jerk reaction opinion based decision makers, like you.
