Instead of trying to win games when they're down they pad stats, Rodgers, Romo, and Brees are notorious for this. Others, Favre, Elway, Brady, tried or try to win the damn game.

Please explain how this works. I'm curious how someone could try to pad stats (tds, completions, yards) but at the same time not try to win the game.

He's making up scenarios to show why Romo playing average or worse in 50% of his games is bad and why the same for Brady isn't.

Nevermind those scenarios don't actually exist or pertain to that above situation, so it's irrelevant, but he keeps hammering home that point.

You're down 17 with 6 minutes left in the game. You have to score a lot and quick. Some QB's, great example is the 2012 playoff game with Rodgers vs SF, take the 6-7 yard gains, eat up 5:30 and leave 30 seconds, but you go 10-11 for 80 yards and a TD. Instead of going for the bomb, which is high risk high reward(Favre) and could result in a quick score, or some checkdown charlie(play it safe). Either way you're not likely to win, but some QB's say frick it and let it fly, while others take the safer stat route. Don't say it doesn't happen because it damn well does.
