Tom Brady has had two ridiculous games in true blizzard conditions in the past three years - one in Chicago and that game against Tennessee at Foxboro where he threw 5 TD's in one quarter.

That is also possibly the GOAT. So...not entirely valid to use him as an example, unless you're comparing Geno to the bottom or avg as well.

In all seriousness...if he's the best QB, I hope we take him. But the apologists need to quite being so freakin' defensive about any little critique. I feel like he's Taylor Mays and the four horsemen are possessing most of CP.

The truefans bring it upon themselves with their own stupidity. Oh noes!!! He played poorly in the snow! We better draft that Catholic 3-4 ILB or a franchise LT and draft a QB in the 7th Round.

Wind is a more important factor than snow.

Personally, snow puts a unique feel on the ball as the snow sticks but still creates a wet area. (as far as throwing is concerned).

However, the field today + snow was causing a lot of problems for both teams IMO.

None. And I don't need to. The fact that you say that about ANY Big East team speaks volumes to how you evaluate the quality of a team.

don't forget about Mark Sanchez too

Doesn't matter. The last few years the combine and personal workouts have made the QB draft classes.

This game hurts Geno if he doesn't have a great combine and workout. And it should.

If he has a great workout and combine numbers nobody cares.

Once again, who here is saying that? You are creating an argument that doesn't exist on this forum. Those advocating we draft something other than QB are in the severe minority and are embellished here for argument's sake.

Snow on the field makes the field, and the ball, slippery.

It's more difficult to grip and control a wet ball, and receivers can't make clean breaks in their route.

It's the reason that Manning is testing out wearing gloves in case he has to battle the elements in Denver in the playoffs.

This is the shit PGM is talking about.

I said nothing about Geno.

I simply said that if researched, we'd likely find more than 3-4 great QB performances in bad weather - and that I could think of two in the last three years off the top of my head.

The game was overall shit, Geno still has some flaws, but most QBs do. Geno is not a god of QBs like most CP members make him out to be. Stop blaming the snow lol

Ok, I didn't read that far back in the thread OTWP.

and you guys bring it upon yourselves ... If you guys didn't run around being a bunch of raging know-it-all assholes then people wouldn't point it out so much.
