+2 for using literally correctly.
Uh, yeah.... First, I agree, that's funny. But B), you have to add to consideration that literally 14 of those points had nothing to do with White.
So are we going to discount Riley Ferguson's performance vs UCLA because Memphis had a pick-six? Or the fact that Pollard ran 6 kickoffs for td's that year?
Apparently, yes. And likely for the rest of the damned season. And be prepared to be reprimanded for using real stats to back up your claim, because the only thing that matters is the eye test of people who dont even know where the damned "box" is located at on the field.
Well, since you two are ganging up on a response to one of my posts, I will respond to this.
I'm not "one of those people who don't even know where the damned box is located on the field." I played. Not college, but I played all the way up through high school, and I was a second string QB at certain points. So I know "a little" about what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, now that I think back, I played every position on the field except lineman.
And from MY perspective, Brady is a sufficient QB that is
DEficient in 2 areas. His eyes go to the ground when he gets crowded, and he almost always refuses to run past the line of scrimmage no matter WHAT the situation is. The problem with stat sheets is, they don't show stats for "I had LITERALLY 15 clear yards in front of me on a second and 10, and no open receivers, but I chose to throw it into the 2nd row", or "I'm running an RPO, and my running back LITERALLY is in the clutches of a defender, but I'm gonna leave this ball right here in your belly, and y'all have fun with that....fumble"
His successes are a mixture of three things. He makes some GOOD throws, Coach Norvell has a GREAT offensive system, and he has some GOOD-GREAT route runners in his receivers. Personally, I think he is a GOOD quarterback. If he could just get the game to slow down in his mind's clock, he could make better decisions, he could transition to a GREAT quarterback. And the problem is, you would have thought it would have slown down by now after a year and a 1/3rd.
