PM2 got much criticism after the Denver game from dumbasses (like Keitzman) because he had no TD's on his stats, but the eye test showed that so many of his passes were big time plays that most other QB's couldn't make. There was a dropped TD pass and some rushing TD's IIRC.
Week 1 vs LA PM2 gets 4 TD's on the stat list and everyone is raving, but in reality 2 of thos TD's were 1 yard shovel passes. PM2 played great and I'm super excited.
The almost TD to DAT (but great defense by the LA DB) will go overlooked.
The dropped slant by Watkins very well could have been a TD but he can't seem to be consistent.
So many hidden things in the game that goes further towards judgement than stats. Alex Smith always had a good completion percentage and got praise for it.... yet the missing variable is that most of those are high % checkdowns.
In summary; I hate stupid people that check the stats sheet and totally miss watching the game.

I agree stats can be pretty misleading. Heck, I think the Denver game is part of why Andy used those shovel passes to help Pat’s TD stats yesterday. He is now 4 to 1 on TD’s to INT’s for his career. Pretty nice start.
