QB Index: Win-loss stat overrated

[mbarbour21]

"Just about everyone who watches and covers baseball knows that wins and losses is an overrated stat for starting pitchers. Yet it remains tough for the football populace to come to terms with putting win-loss records into context. Quarterbacks get too much blame when teams lose, and they certainly get too much praise when they win. Football remains the ultimate team sport, and that's even true when it comes to the game's most important position."

Well, it seems the NFL's best have finally figured it out. Funny how many things change when the Seahawks are 2-4. 

In other news, Cam made the top 5. He was actually given credit for slicing up Seattle in the 4th vs. all the credit going to the miscue. It's also funny how things change when you win......who knew???

Also something noteworthy considering our future game against Philly. Bradford...is slated 27th.

I think the changes in the rules to more favor the passing game has directly caused this.  It used to be that a team lived and died by whether or not the QB could make the throws.

Now, EVERYONE can throw the ball.  So in a way, the NFL has commoditized the passing game.  Everyone can do it.  The difference between the good teams and the bad teams now lies mostly with who can play defense and special teams and who can run the ball.

*Cam puts up big stats but loses*

Media: "Yeah, but he doesn't have the wins!"

*Cam puts up lower stats, but wins*

Media: "Wins are overrated!"

I realize the article isn't trying to marginalize how Cam is doing right now. I just think the timing couldn't be more hilarious considering what was said in the past.

Cam would get crucified if we were 2-4. Funny how the narrative changes when its the golden boy. I showed my brother this article earlier and we both just laughed.
