One of the things that are misunderstood in sports today is stats. We obviously know what the number 0 means during stats and that means no production. If there is another player who is putting peformance out there it will show in stats no matter what situation he is under wheather he is working as a "system" quarterback or a player who they are building a system around which I think its bullcrap. I can see how many people in here can name Joe Montana as a system quarterback when he clearly brought his team back from crap performances. He put stats out there until he retired.

We can also talk about Dan Marino, no matter how many mistakes he made out there he always finished the day with over 200 yards out there and completions at the right time. Stats do show how you are progressing but mistakes can also blow those stats up.

Let's take a look at stats in the offense, key players.


Quarterback Position-


Daunte Culpepper MIA

512(3rd in afc) Passing Yards 59 percentage completion 52 yards longest pass
8 passes over 20 yards and 1 pass for over 40 yards

He's not playing like Peyton Manning but Peyton does have his consistent supporting cast. Which Reggie Wayne and Harrison are respectively 2nd and 3rd in receiving in the afc when Chambers is at 13 in receiving. They are performing and stats are showing that.


Chris Chambers-


He's dropped the ball a lot lately and doesn't seem to be concentrating. However he is not performing at all.

114 yards whic his ranked at 13 in the afc
7 First Downs(horrible)
9 receptions(he should be making more than that)


Randy McMichael

4 receptions for 44 yards, unacceptable


Ronnie Brown

30 attempts at a 100 yards 2 touchdowns

I think He can be excusable because our offensive line.



Bottomline is, Don't blame the play at the quarterback when he clearly isn't getting any support.
 
chambers didnt have great games, i dont know why but he is not getting the ball
 
mcmichael has been block most of the time how can you say he is terrible when the plays are not being calle dfor him to be out there to make the receptions. sure he should be doin a little better but if he is continually being putin blocking schemes due to daunte holding the ball to long or our offensive line looking shaky he cant be expected to be putting up big recieving numbers

Blocked most of the time, isn't that his job to make sure he is open. Dante can't play his position for him. McMichael blocked like a pansy last sunday. 2 of the sacks against dante were accountable for him. The only time that Randy made a play was when he wasn't been covered. He needs to make the plays when he is against somebody. Its sad that Peele can block better than Randy.
 
Could part of the problems with Chambers and McMichael not having good stats be tied into the QB? I do wish McMike was more involved in the offense and have not liked Mularkey's play-calling at all through two games. I don't think statistics are a good measuring stick when clearly the whole team has been bad and bringing up WR numbers proves nothing because Daunte is the one who has to get the ball to the guys.

what are u talking about if the play is called for mcmichael to block then he cant just run off on a recieving pattern and if he is blocking how is he supposed to be open???? and i think u mean to to say that it is sad that peelle can block better than randy not daunte?

Even when he is called for blocking he can't even do his job. You are just another Randy fan that can't accept that he has been playing like crap in the last couple of games dating back to 2005. He still has a problem blocking and its never improved in any way. He literally got beat in most of his blocks last sunday.

thats where you are wrong i really am not a randy fan at all!!!! i know he hasnt been doing a good job of blocking and that he has had a shocking end to the season and can never seem to play hard out for us for a full year i am just simply saying that dont expect huge receiving numbers from him if he is blocking all day if you can call it that

I like Randy- as a receiver. When he is on he is on. Problem is that as you stated its been a while since he has been on. His blocking was never really his strong suit. But I have seen him in the past be at least adequate. Lately he has disappeared. He definitely needs to be one of the players called out to step up.
 
yeah i would much rather see rader and peelle out there when the TE's are supposed to be blocking, maybe give randy a try somewhere reciever to better suite him, but i just dont see where he would line up wes welker is doing an awesome job at 3rd WR and in the slot and i dont want to see him moved from there as he is putting up great numbers considering how the rest of the team is playing he just puts in every play

How is he supposed to get them the ball, when they don't try to get open??
 
blaim culpepper all you want, but the recievers are not getting open. there isnt time for daunte to MAKE plays happen with this o line. as his leg gets better and he gets a feel for game speed again hell make plays. d line has sucked. not much pressure on opposing qbs, which leads to bad secondary. if im correct both rbs weve face have over 100yds. several rb carries for over ten yards. lets be honest, daunte has made two bad decisions, but has otherwise not been horrible considering everything. and randy should be recieving. he was complaining about not being used for passes before sundays game, and came out and was horrible in pass blocking. we NEED that extra blocker, and if randy wont do it for the team, hell see less field time. one thing is for sure when it comes to playcalling. mularkey IS NOT CALLINGF PLAAYS TO THIS TEAMS STRENGTHS. you know your qb isnt healthy yet, run the ball and set short passes and screens. let other players make plays. they have not been doing it. culpepper has been asked to do everything by himself and single handedly beat teams, and hes not healthy enough to do it right now.
