The part I bold. What's incorrect there is your own statement. You can keep repeating your own misperceptions as strawmen to argue with but it's easy enough to point it out when you do. As for the red herring about having leads, only 2 teams are undefeated. All teams lose games, and all teams are in close games. There is value in having a qb who can perform effectively under those conditions, which include time constraints you don't see in the previous 3 1/2 quarters. It is possible to determine some qbs are not as good under those conditions (like Rodgers) and that some are (like Montana). None of that is controversial. (And no, no current stat tells you that...no one routinely publishes percentages of wins in those conditions. Also no one said that the NUMBER of such wins determines being good or bad at it. We just know, and in fact everyone knows, that Rodgers is not as good at that, Montana was.) The whole thing about good teams dominating early is also beside the point. Good teams WILL BE in close games. No matter who they are. That's just an obvious given. Unless you can prove they're NOT, which is ridiculous on the face of it. If your team is good under those conditions you win more games. Usually against better opposition, in fact, so there are some added benefits scattered in there (like post-season tie breakers). Opposing any of this is a fool's errand. You're fighting against things no one said, missing what they do say, and arguing against something there's no point in arguing against.

POST #174 aeneas1 wrote:the original post questioned goff's big game readiness while pointing to his 4th quarter numbers as reason for concern, so the thread naturally evolved into a debate over a qb's "crunch time" prowess which some, incorrectly imo, believe can be measured using qb 4qc stats.if rams fans are waiting for goff to become a qb who can consistently rally the rams to wins when trailing late in a game, they might as well wait until the end of time, no qb can do it, win consistently when trailing late, collectively hof qbs have about a .250 w/l batting average when trailing after 3 quarters.the good news? hof qbs have a great track record of heading into the 4th quarter ahead, which puts their team in a position to win, something goff has done more often than not throughout the 2017 season, including "big games".No one "incorrectly believes" what you say there. The part I bold. What's incorrect there is your own statement. You can keep repeating your own misperceptions as strawmen to argue with but it's easy enough to point it out when you do. As for the red herring about having leads, only 2 teams are undefeated. All teams lose games, and all teams are in close games. There is value in having a qb who can perform effectively under those conditions, which include time constraints you don't see in the previous 3 1/2 quarters. It is possible to determine some qbs are not as good under those conditions (like Rodgers) and that some are (like Montana). None of that is controversial. (And no, no current stat tells you that...no one routinely publishes percentages of wins in those conditions. Also no one said that the NUMBER of such wins determines being good or bad at it. We just know, and in fact everyone knows, that Rodgers is not as good at that, Montana was.) The whole thing about good teams dominating early is also beside the point. Good teams WILL BE in close games. No matter who they are. That's just an obvious given. Unless you can prove they're NOT, which is ridiculous on the face of it. If your team is good under those conditions you win more games. Usually against better opposition, in fact, so there are some added benefits scattered in there (like post-season tie breakers). Opposing any of this is a fool's errand. You're fighting against things no one said, missing what they do say, and arguing against something there's no point in arguing against. All the while agreeing with the main point, which is that Goff will mature into this. ... by aeneas1 7 years 6 months ago Total posts: 16894 Joined: Sep 13 2015 Norcal Hall of Fame Is Goff ready to win this game?

And 20 to 25% of all games (every year) are decided by 3 points or less. So it's inevitable there will be QBs who engineer drives to win games. And like everything else offense-related, they will get the lion's share of the credit for that. What the O line didn't "buck it up" in crunch time? A receiver didn't make a great play? A DB didn't fall down? Good TEAMS are going to win more close games than they'll lose. It's what makes them "good teams". But more so than the W/L record Quarterbacks are credited with or saddled by, the 4QC ledger is extremely ridiculous. When a guy can start a possession in the 3rd quarter, drive his team to FG range so the PK kicks one with 9 and a half minutes left in the game to tie it. Then somebody on his defense makes a play and gets a safety and the QB is credited with a 4QC!!! The really ridiculous thing about this particular example is besides all that happening, the QB threw a pick near midfield with the 2 point lead but his defense pulled him out of the fire AGAIN by stopping the opponent. And that isn't the only example of flawed qualifications. There are many others. So we can look at the numbers and say "Brady is terrific late in games under pressure", which is true but it's more accurate to say "the Patriots TEAM is terrific late in games under pressure" AND they still lose their fair share of them!! Peyton Manning is the all time leader with 45*....I haven't delved into checking his yet.... but is that really surprising when he played for a team who was consistently terrible on defense? Of course there are going to be more opportunities for comebacks and it says as much for Tom Moore's scheme as it does about Peyton Manning's ability under pressure. Strawmen and Red Herring? Naa.

So we both see it that way. And (again), no one ever said that numbers of C.B. wins determine a qb;s value. Remember, that was an imaginary thing you got from misreading.

But since, like it or not, any team is going to end up in close games, it's good when the Rams win those too. ... Kind of a dumb question. The games, especially the '99 one was nerve wracking as all hell. LOVED the outcome. Landmarks games are fine. I want landmark seasons IE Championships. however we get them doesn't matter but blowing teams out is easier on the nerves, lol.
