I'm not defending him. I'm just pointing out the poster (you) that came in here blaming him. Hence me calling you one of the "True" haters. Anyone that watched that game knows QC didn't lose it. I'm not saying he played great. But he didn't lose the game for them.
I know he didnt *lose* the game for them, Rack. And thats kind of the funny thing about Q. For some reason thats the way he's always measured, for better or worse. It's almost as though people think that as long as he doesnt throw 3 or 4 picks he's automatically doing really good. I dont think thats true, for him or any other QB.
I didnt blame him for a thing. I never said he cost them the game. They most certainly could've won the game regardless. That wouldnt have been any shock to us. Seeing pedestrian QB play in route to a certain number of victories. Particularly against other offenses that have a hell of a time scoring more than 17 themselves.
But I think we would all agree that in our ideal world, unless we could have the Raven's '00 defense every year, it would be kind of nice to find a QB for ourselves one of these days that could actually be largely responsible for why we actually won some games here and there. Not continually hang our hat on a QB that didnt find a way to simply keep from blowing it. You'll be able to beat some patsies that way, that have even *worse* QB/offensive play.. and if you get to play an inordinate amount of those teams in the same year, you might even have a winning record. But you'll never get to the promised land that way if the rest of your team is just as mediocre.
I have no ill-will towards the kid.. I wish him well. But I would hope I dont have to apologize for being glad we didnt give him another 3 years as a starter.
And what does any of this have to do with Vinnie? Anybody ever hear me say.. thank god Vinnie is our QB!! I didnt think so. That would be as laughable as thanking god that George is our starting RB. Yeah we need to get a replacement for T-Ham. So if you're going to sign a FA (along, obviously, with drafting a rookie) lets go get the only starting RB in the league that averaged less YPC than him even tho he played with a far better cast. Mmhmm.. I'm stoked.
