shellgh0st said:Its funny, because when McNabb went down everyone said we would lose those games to weak opponents. Why didnt we? AJ stepped up and played well enough to win, late in the season, when our season was on the line and teams were looking to knock us out of the playoff hunt.
He had James Thrash and Todd Pinkston as his WRs. If you havent seen those two play, count yourself lucky. No one would have knock out stats with the skill players we had that year.
Im talking about how he played, not his numbers. About decisions he would make, not about the passes that were dropped by our wrs that bounced into DBs hands for INTs. Im talking about his passes that would hit WRs running, not in the ground like McNabb was doing that year.
Wow, AJ must be the unluckiest guy in the world. Near as I can tell interceptions and bad passes are never his fault, they just happen to him b/c others mess up.
If you go back and watch the games, AJ didn't play well. People just forget b/c he won the games. He was inaccurate and made bad decisions. In fact, Childress said that poor decisions are AJ's biggest struggle. The same thing happened when we beat NE last year. People think AJ played well. He didn't. The difference was that the other team screwed up and the potential ints AJ threw were dropped.
Look, I want AJ to do well. I was one of those who defended the trade based on the type of analysis that RS did, but AJ is still inaccurate and making the same boneheaded decisions. I pride myself on my ability to access QB potential and IMO the odds AJ succeeding are small. I'm not saying I'm flawless. In fact, I hope I'm I'm wrong, but AJ flaws are among the most difficult to correct.
