ranters reading too much into stats

Amazing how the one stat they don't discuss is that in 5 quarters Harris led 1 scoring drive while in less than 3 quarters Etling led 4. The only stat that counts in the final score.

They were too busy typing on the Rant to actually watch the game.

There are quite a few of you that keep whining and complaining about Etling's 6-14 with an INT. I'm beginning to wonder if you were watching the same game I was?

I am one of the ones you are talking about.


He was 0/6 in the 2nd half but that doesn't matter apparently since its just a stat.

he was 6/14 overall that's less than a 50% completion percentage but that doesn't matter since its a stat.

All i'm saying is that if he goes 0/6 in SEC play in any half tell me which games we win. Thats a stat though so it doesn't matter.


I can link up every stat that shows you stats mean more than you think it does.

If you like Etling better than Harris just say that but don't act like he is light years ahead of Harris because he isn't.

There is no doubt in my mind that there are people who have tiger rant opened with predetermined threads ready to post about something they think they will be mad at and want to shite on.

and you don't think predictable arse play calling has some to do with that in the game vs Wisconsin?

Just like in the 2nd half last night. Predictable play calling. How did that work out for Etling?

Not really. Harris' inability to not air mail or fastball every pass hurt us against Wisconsin

So your theory is that for three possessions we changed our offense then we changed back?

No, I don't agree. I watched Harris overthrow short passes. I watched him several times over the past two games lock on to a reciever and throw to him despite the fact that he was completely covered. I watched teams load up the box because they knew he could not beat them through the air.

From what I saw last night I think Etling gives us a better chance to win. At the very least, he has earned the start. He only had one throw that was completely uncatchable. Harris has far more than that.

Dude it's pretty obvious that you have a hard on for Harris. I don't think anyone here is pretending that Etling is Aaron Rodgers.

But anyone with two eyes could see that the passing game was hot garbage with Harris. It at least had a pulse when Etling was in.

. If Guice catches that ball and Chi doesn't play like shite he'd have easily been 9-14 with 2 TDs and no INT. I'm baffled you jackasses can't see that.

All last week people were bashing Miles for saying "If." But last night and today this board is flooded with people saying the exact same thing.

The eye test doesn't tell the whole story any more than the stats do. Etling showed some positive things last night, but the second half was not good.

So what exactly is your solution?

Do you want to ride with Harris?

I don't think you have one. You just can't stand that etling just took bh's job.
