Already debunked. Rodgers, Luck, Geno, Cutler, etc. All run the WCO. All throw downfield more than Alex.

A huge part of the WCO is setting up the deep ball CONSTANTLY. That's why Andy targets receivers with speed to burn.

That's pretty good for a game manager in his first year in a new system

I think you need to check your math and or stats. Including the playoff game he is just under 3700 passing yards.

Rushing yards don't count.

28/7 is solid. If he does that this year than we should win at least 9 games. However yards are still crucial. More yards means (hopefully) more drives into the redzone and more setups to score by the run or some other means. Yards still mean a lot and are not a negative stat whatsoever despite what some people trumpet here.

Why don't rushing yards count when that's a huge part of how the position is played in today's nfl?

It's a pussy move IMO to discredit any way he moves the ball.

It's so hard to judge "better". People criticizing Cutler say he makes boneheaded downfield throws. In the system Alex has been asked to play in the last 3 years, you just don't have that many downfield attempts. He isn't asked to force the ball. Cutler's #'s, and just about every other QB that plays in a more aggressive system would look better if they were on a leash.

I really can't believe there are 9 people who think Smith is better than Luck.

Sure, if you want to ignore the ring Wilson has and the big mushroom shaped welt that Luck left on the forehead of every Chief player and fan when he smacked them with his comeback schlong and sent them back below Cleveland in the sadness department.

Dilfer has a big ring

a dozen 3rd string scrubs have left welts on our _efense, we are known for it


the point is just that maybe some people hesitated to crown players before a significant sample size

Wilson is a good QB, but it's not like he carried that team to a championship. He was the very definition of game manager. Half of the Seahawks points came directly from the defense and special teams, and the rest was set up by Denver turnovers.

The "fantasy football" excuse is so tired and played-out, it's not even funny. People want to see their QB throw it downfield not for fantasy points but because doing so keeps defenses honest and can lead to either big plays or PI calls that keep the chains moving. You know, things that actually win football games.
