You, are a smart smart man.

2 Pro Bowls

Pure popularity contest

won the division

So did Tim Tebow

quote:

---

about to win a playoff game

---

So did a long list of shitty QBs

quote:

---

In 4 years he's accomplished more than 75% of the QBs in the league have in their career.

---

While this is blatantly false, the fact is that there aren't a lot of good QBs in the league anymore. There are 10-12 guys who could be considered reliable week to week.

On the original call. That is not reviewable.

---

Where did I say it was reviewable?

And what receiver did they state was in the area like they normally do?

That was textbook intentional grounding, end of story

I think they were mistaken about that.

They did say there was a receiver in the area, but all I saw was a member of the o-line.

I couldn't see the whole field from that angle, though.

We might have gotten away with that one.

This is just about the worst game I've seen this entire season.

In the NFL/NCAA/HS.

His play has regressed though, for whatever reason.

I agree. And then there are those games where he is like a 22 year old superman again.
SO consistency HAS been lacking this year for sure.
