When they are outliers to the rest of his games? You should. There is a difference if a guy is consistently good with a couple of bad or really good games that are not that impactful on his performance.

You can also always take out game 1/2 of a season because teams aren't sure how to plan against him. Once there is film, teams will adjust and you will see what you really have. This is why one bad game to start or really good game should always be taken with a grain of salt.

He had 64% of his TDs in less than 30% of his games. That isn't randomly eliminating things.

With all of that said, I am not against the signing. My point is the two extremes in views of him. Some act like no matter what he will suck and ignore the lack of weapons on the team last year because of injury and bad FA/draft decisions, while others blow him based on 1 or 2 games and team record while he started.

They were 4-2 with him playing a full game. They beat 2 playoff teams in the first 6 games where he played significantly including losing to two teams that will pick in the top 10.

I am fine with the signing though and think he has potential. Not against it. Just stating facts that people are trying to oversell themselves on his signing vs others claiming utter idiotic decision-making by the Saints.
