I'll say it for the millionth time cause nobody seems to understand.... When you lead the league in sacks (53.7% on two step drops or "short sacks" and league avg was 34.6% on two step drops) last year and lead the league in drops this year by a mile!! No and I repeat no qb would be successful it doesn't work like that period and of story its a fact......Brady, manning, brees, rodgers, marino whoever you want to put in there, all would not have been who they are if guys can't block or catch let alone lead the league in these categories, Thill had to deal with both of these shortcomings back to back years which is not on him .....Also, I love how everyone is comparing him to Henne, Lemon, Beck etc, thats just laughable and shows how ignorant people are. These guys a lot of posters on here that are comparing Thill to absolutely suck because they had a line and guys were catching balls and the still couldn't get it done thats the diff. When comparing at least compare apples to apples.
Additionally, Just some food for thought, off the top of my head there were 3 deep balls for Tds that were perfectly placed which everyone saw (sims against NE, Wallace against NE which he didn't get feet in and should have, and hardline against Buff) Now just add those 3 catches in and Thills stats which he would of had roughly another 130-150 yards, would be at 754- 775 yards, and more importantly a TD to int ratio of 7-2 (one pick was thrown at end of buff game just throwing it up) so really wed be looking at 7-1 td Ratio and completion % around 60%.
Now take those 3 drops off and were still at 9 drops in three games which still leads the league wow!! Imagine how much better his stats would be and what our win column would look like with even half those drops. Its a fact that he would def have a lot more yards and one or two more TDs cause a lot of these drops come at the worst times when we are driving to score. Not to mention our line still isn't really protecting him and the wr aren't getting open (that was all exposed in the KC game no separation from anyone except wallace and when they do they drop it)
Already, just by adding those in he would be close to the league leaders and again that would be with us still leading the league in drops!!!!!
Just to put this in perspective:
Nick Foles leads the league right now with 978 yards, 6 td, 2 int 60% comp, so you can't sit here and tell me RT wouldn't be close to that when with just 3 more catches which i mentioned above would already put him up there and we prob don't even talk about Thills play other than him missing a few throws which is natural why??? New system and its only week 3!!!
People are blind....Everyone on here would be loving if Thill had that stat line (again thats with still leading league in drops) like that which it 100% should be without those 3 drops which these guys get paid millions to do.
AGAIN!! NO BLOCKING + NO CATCHING = NO SUCCESS (yet Thill gets judged as if those aren't enormous factors and its just all on him when these are the most imp aspects in football to having any success all around not just on offense, drops affect your D too) These are basic fundamentals that make or break you no matter how you want to spin it to bash Thill.
These are not excuses for Thill they are facts you can't judge a Qb when he's behind the 8 ball right out the gate for his 2nd and 3rd years its just dumb. That goes for any QB.
This is a non arguable fact that nobody likes to talk about.
