SI ranks all 32 starting QB's. Stafford ranked.......

That's not a fun hobby. That's basically dedicating your life to watching teams. And I don't believe a word of it, but still worth trying none the less.

That is not dedicating my life at all.
 
Watching every snap of every team throughout the course of 16 games? Yes, that's dedicating a large portion of your time.

The power of game rewind. Now game pass. No time wasting in between snaps, timeouts or commercials. Boom boom boom, play after play.
 
You can't garner any information from watching a play on first view. You need to break down each play to understand what happened and what went wrong.

And there's no way you did that. No one not named Chris Mortensen would spend their free time in that manner. That would be kinda sad.

You are letting this guy troll you. I know, I get caught up in it too sometimes, but it is just a game.

Oh I'm not at all, I find it fun to prove how ridiculous his statements are and how unrealistic it is. Obviously no one takes what this guy says to heart, they know he is just blowing smoke.

Its just slow at this time. One of my favorite things is to get him to argue opposite points by switching the topic.

Like how Lions had no run game, but when mention Mayhew can't build a run game, he points out that based on Tape Bell is a top 10 back and that based on stats he performed like one the second half of the season. Then when you bring it back to Stafford, all of a sudden no one can run again.

I just have slow times at work.

Yes you can. Especially if you write down exactly what happened and you watch enough like I do.
 
And I don't buy that. For a second. You don't have some giant log that says

"Game 2: Oakland vs Jacksonville. First Quarter, snap 2. The TE missed the block, causing the incomplete pass."

If you did, that would be horribly pathetic. It would be 900000000 lines long.

of course he doesn't do that. He MIGHT watch the Lions games like that...just looking for excuses.
 
Seems like a guy that claims he watches that much tape wouldn't perpetuate the myth that no one gets open.

For example this play week 17: #9 decides a well defended Ebron is the best option, ignoring the wide open CJ. Seriously 6 yards is the closest defender..but he throws it to a well guarded TE with drop issues.

Progression. Calvin may not have been open at the time during the progression. Calvin is doubled but made a move inside

Except that is not true. Was not doubled. What it appears is our one read QB saw his one read and decided to go for it.

can't you see...he was double covered & in press coverage. The proper read is to throw a back shoulder fade!

There is a safety there too. You guys are blind. One on one was the correct choice for Stafford.
 
If he was running a go route, the safety would be relevant. But he didn't, so it's not. Try again.

The safety is moving towards Calvin on his in cut. Calvin is clearly doubled. Ebron was single coverage on the outside. Stafford made the correct call.
 
he was doubled. CB and safety with Calvin

There was a single safety playing 18 yards off in the center of the field. The DB is going with outside coverage. Before the snap Stafford should of been smart enough to see CJ was going to be wide open. If you can't admit this was a missed read, then there is no helping you.

Your breakdown of this play is worse than the breakdown of the Fuller play against the bears.

There have been two plays posted and you have been completely wrong about both of them.
