And some of that stuff we talked about earlier and you asked why I said what I said, it's been present here in this thread. So, like you, I was just tired of it and kind of snapped. |

Running the ball more means less QB attempts, which means less QB yards. It also means more time of possession and probably less scores. I agree that you can still be explosive while establishing a strong running game. But there are explosive teams like the Saints, Lions, and Packers that gain a lot of yards at the expense of a consistent running game. |

JFC, you keep inventing this fake argument that I'm somehow saying Aaron Rodgers is better than Alex Smith. Stop it. Nobody is saying even anything remotely close to that. I have even said multiple times that I don't know that Smith has the chops to do what Eli Manning and Flacco do.

You said he played bad in the playoffs. 66% completion with a 18:5 ratio is as far from bad as you can get. Wanna take out the Super Bowl season? That should help your argument. 64% completion with a 9:3 ratio. Horrible. |

But sorry, when it's the 4th quarter of a close games, there's plenty of QBs who have proven success over Rodgers. And the problem is, then you get into arguments saying Eli isn't the QB Rodgers is just because you're looking at stat lines. Sorry, but if it's a close game in the 4th quarter, give me Eli. |

But the kind of offense we're talking about here is a QB who can consistently convert on 3rd downs (unlike passing offenses where you have 3 shots at a passing first down, these offenses often give their QBs one shot only), who can extend long drives, and in the 4th quarter, you expect that QB to win in a gunfight and you have confidence they'll do it every time. Eli and Big Ben are exceptional at this. Flacco showed that to me last year. And I think a lot of people underrate how good these players are because of how well they do this. |

And FTR, with Andy Reid, we'll never get Marty Ball. But, those short throws on early downs are similar to runs so there is that. It essentially limits your mistakes. As much as we all want dynamic great offenses, in the playoffs, mistakes (turnovers) will get you beat more times than not because of the level of teams you are playing at that time. You also have to be able to put the ball in the endzone though, and up to this point, thats not something we have excelled at. So until we do, its all just talk. |

I've yet to hear anybody respond to this. 5-17 in close games Only 5 comeback victories in his career It is a more than fair argument and everybody is talking about it. |
