What is your major malfunction? Do you want to argue just for arguments sake? Are you that entrenched in the RT camp?
Foles even with Fischer's coaching and jumping to different teams flat out has won more games. His W-L record is actually a winning record. His numbers overall are better. And those are regular season numbers. It isn't even counting this latest run in the postseason by going 3-0.
No way in hell RT wins games like what Foles just did if he was the one traded to Philly instead of Ajayi and played same games as Foles. Never. Ever.
You can hitch your wagon to an 8 game stretch in 2016 all you want. When RT goes and wins big road games when they matter and late in a season please let me know. When he gets the team to the playoffs and wins something of note let us all know. The eye test confirms it to me. He's marginal. At best. Middling. 37-40. Five years in and he's plus 30 and off an ACL.
Im sick and tired of the excuses for RT. He has taken a crapload of sacks and quite a few are on him. Go and blame the offensive line. Go and blame any unit you want. Blame everything else but RT.
Why you don't want a game changer back there is beyond me. But no. You're content with game manager RT if only the Fins could build around him so they can win with him.
Oh and by the way Keenum put up a season this year RT could only dream of (as in he has never done over the course of a season).
68pct completion
14 starts
11-3 record
22 TD
7 INT
4.4 pct sack rate
98.3 QBR
So don't be so quick to throw a Keenum out there in passing and say a team with Keenum can make the NFC championship game. When this no name just put up a season like that. But let me guess. It's all because he had a better team around him. Nothing at all to do with the actual player.
I guess QB doesn't even matter. Let's just build a juggernaut at all positions and we can throw effing anyone back there.
The reason I go to that 8 game stretch is because that was the last glimpse we had of Tannehill before he went down with an ACL injury. Ya know...the most recent exposure we have. Kind of like Foles in the last two games.
I’ll be the first to say Foles played very well the last two games in the playoffs, but he did not look good in the Falcons, Cowboys or Raiders game.
So, in a sense, I’m using a larger sample size towards my projections where as you’re using two games to say that Foles is suddenly a game changer. Yes, two very important games, but Flacco also was incredible in his post season run and look where he is now.
Do I think we can do better than Tannehill? Yes. But the only way we’re actually able to find an “elite QB” is to take a chance on a draft pick.
Keenum had a good year. Not elite, but a good year. One good year. What, before this year, passed your eye test that he would be a good QB?
Listen, I’m not here to say you’re stupid or attack you personally, so there’s no reason to get upset. I have a belief and so do you. There’s no reason to think I’m personally attacking you.
I’m just going to believe Tanny can become a good enough QB to win us games in the future based on what he looked like before he went down. If the FO doesn’t believe that, we’ll find out this offseason. And if you look back in this thread to when I posted the Twitter thread on some of the throws that makes me believe that, maybe that’ll help. If not, then it is what it is.
Either way, I think we’re both fin fans and just want to win. If Foles somehow gets here and plays lights out, I will be just as happy as you.
Fins Up.
