Because, news flash, if you watch the Colts you'll see a very inconsistent QB at this point.

But you know what he gets? He has everyone saying "well the Colts have a terrible line and terrible players around him. It's a 1 man team!"

...you say anything about Alex Smith and you get bombarded with "omg that's an excuse!"

You mention Andrew Luck and his inconsistency and someone will bring up 10 excuses and say that he single-handedly got them to the playoffs ..

you know

nevermind Alex Smith took over a 2-14 team and suddenly they were in the playoffs last year

...but he had NOTHING to do with that

It's just baffling. Either QB's or responsible for wins or they aren't. Or it's somewhere in between.

What I've found out is, if Aaron/Tom or Luck struggle, it's never their fault. They are their teams.

Alex Smith has had a top 5 winning % for the last 53 games he's started and according to this board, he, the QB, the most important position in sports, has nothing to do with that he just has elite talent around him.

Just stop.
