Stat Correction: Teddy Most Accurate

Today's group of geniuses would label joe montana a drink and dunk qb.

That's the definition of the West Coast offense though, and Montana was masterful at it. Check out SF's defensive finishes, both points and yards, during that time - rightmost columns in the screenshot below. This is entirely consistent with the take that this type of offense requires elite defense to win. San Fran had that for basically the entire decade Montana was QB. That's very tough to do. Playing with Rice, Taylor, Craig, Clark, and a few HoFers on defense sure didn't hurt either.

I'm not arguing that Montana wasn't great - he was. I will argue that today's NFL is a different landscape and as of today, with the current body of work, Carolina will require a similarly-elite defense to win with Teddy. All QBs and offenses benefit from defense but proof is still pending that Teddy in this offense can beat, or at least rack up points against elite NFL competition.

X-factor here is the coaching since you never know who you will face in the playoffs. Many Super Bowl winners have top-ranked offense and defense with different strengths. There will be a team at some point that can mitigate Carolina's current strengths and that's the unknown - does Teddy have the dynamics to overcome it? Time will tell and it's not unreasonable to wonder.

Honestly, most champions have good defenses, that's neither here nor there, but that's outside of Teddy's control. As for seeing him do his thing against "elite NFL competition", patience, my man, patience.

My God man, seriously WTF is up with trolling Teddy? He’s 6th in total passing yds, tops in competition percentage and top 10 QBR. Yes, hitting your checkdown guy raises your completion percentage, but if you can get 5 yds why wouldn’t you take it?
 

I’m literally the person who posted this thread about Teddy being number one in accuracy and I’m trolling him?

You may have missed my edit but I addressed those exact points in the third paragraph. I have my current opinion on Teddy but am totally open to the possibility that I'm wrong if/when the time comes. The best teams are the ones who can win the most ways and it's such a fluid combination of players and coaching to do so.

I’m 55, so I guess I’m approaching 60. I’d like to say I’ll be 56 next month.... lol!! 
But you’re right, let’s leave well enough alone.
