It was the last 6 games of the season (including postseason) for those 3 QBs. Some folks cherry picked the last 8 games.....why not the last 10? 12? I cherry picked the last 6 games.

For example, Wilson had a bad passer rating against the Vikes last year, but his team won big, he didn't have to do much since the running game went for over 200 yards and he only threw the ball 20 times.


Exactly. Tom Brady had a poor game in the Superbowl. Rams defense did a good job of shutting him down. But he won. So there is no blueprint for the Patriots offense like there is for the Rams.

I did 8 games because with Goff the streak of below avg. games begins with Detroit.

You can't cherry pick if you are doing "inconsistent." By definition "inconsistent" means it's good and below avg. games combined. Cherry picking means leaving things out. You can't say "inconsistent" and leave something out, by definition that's impossible.

The reality is, he had a streak starting with the Lions where 5 of 8 games are below avg. There's 2 good games in the middle of that and one exceptional one where Goff came through on the road in a tough environment to help win a conference championship. So it's good + below avg = inconsistent. That really happened and so I say, start with that.

Why that inconsistent patch happened is an interesting question. How much of that is on Goff is an interesting question (and I have ideas about that, if the discussion ever actually gets to that point.) Whether it's an effect of being a third year qb (and the history of other qbs says it is) is an interesting question. Lots of interesting questions. But it's not a question that it happened.

I don’t even know why I bother with you.
Here’s what I did exclude, Goff is 100x better than your crush Sam Bradford.
So you can keep playing your trolling game, but I’m done with you.
