A lot of variables go into YPA. Carr had many more attempts, and a bit less of a completion percentage. Things like the 80 yard TD pass to Kelce against Denver that was a 1 yard pass and a 99 yard run alter the stats. That one play is the difference in those two QB's been equal.

Again, Smith is good at what he does. Checkdowns, high completion percentage, low Interceptions, punts are good.

You forgot one thing. Alex "All I do is win" Smith!!
[Reply]

In the regular season yes

Not so much in the playoffs
[Reply]

That he does. I have said that before.

When he throws even 1 interception though, not so much. He knows that, and Reid knows that. He is not going to throw it all over the yard. He is going to be what he is. And that requires the defense and special teams to step up huge nearly all the time. Can the defense force all the red zone turnovers they did last season? How about late game heroics from Berry and Peters?

He does win, but with lots of help.

Do you have any idea how fucking gay that sounds? Good god. :-)

Yes.

And the Neg Blitzkrieg has begun. LOAD UP.

Keep moving the goalposts Sandy!!! Its what Alex fans do best!!
[Reply]

We're still waiting.

What are his stats for the playoffs though?

Pretty sure the guy has 12 TDs to 2 INTs...

Not that bad wouldn't you say?
[Reply]

His w/l record isn't as good

And that's what it all comes down to
[Reply]

You keep proving my point from the other day. To Alex fans, stats are irrelevant in the regular season because we win, but they matter in the postseason because we dont.
[Reply]

Sexy stats can be overrated but in the end the large majority of SB winning QB's have said stats. Doesn't mean it's necessary, but it would imply some of the skill needed to put up those stats is what it takes to win a SB.

Also, like Carr, Smith would also have to trade things in for a SB trophy and basically made the same amount of noise as Carr in the playoffs.

That's very good INT rate. The TD's would depend upon how many games he played.

My question though is why do you choose to use regular season wins to defeat the stats argument but then try to use playoff stats to defeat the playoff losses argument?
[Reply]

So you think were gonna win the SB this year?
[Reply]

Not scared of the Steelers, not scared of the Pats, not scared of the Falcons, not scared of Raiders... So yes I think we can win...

Maybe you guys are scared of those teams but I am not.

We've beaten them all before the last few years
