Whereas, they typically make backhanded compliments when he plays well, or show up days later to offer their "support that he keeps playing well".
But the minute he ****s up again, they will be all over this board bitching. One day he's called the worst starting QB in the NFL, then a few weeks later people, the same people complaining, want him to perform like an elite QB.
It's comedy gold.

And what if he fails Sunday?
Or in STL?
You might find it funny, I don't.
Look around the league. 8 of the 12 division leaders have elite QB's.
It's a QB driven league, and will be for quite a while, I think.
He's 28 years old, and he's yet to prove he can win an important road game against a solid opponent. He's yet to show that if parts of the team are faltering, he can put the team on his back and win.
I don't see what the issue is in needing to see that happen at least once before we say the guy is a ****ing franchise QB.
