Get StartedWhat the hell is "weapon injuries causing turnovers?" Does that mean that as they were getting injured during the play, they dropped the ball? Do you even know what you are saying anymore?
I think he was saying it was the backups causing "many" of those turnovers. But that was proven wrong so he is cowering in a corner of the basement somewhere trying to figure out a way to respond.......because, as he has pointed out numerous times......he is NEVER wrong!!!!
It was not proven wrong. Many intended for Durham, other backups WRs and backup TEs. Also backup Oline getting beat, causing pressure, causing ints.
Then the fluke turnover drops off Calvin's hands, Pettigrew ducking etc.
Many of the ints aren't Stafford's fault. Many of the turnovers are from backup players being the issue. Some is Calvin, some is Bush, some is Pettigrew.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
It's so fun to laugh at you. You're such an idiot!!
91% on the starters.
FACTS......little one......FACTS!!!!
If Durham and Fauria and Ross can't get open, you force to Calvin. This can lead to picks. And Calvin was hurt!!!!
Do you people even watch the games? Seriously?
We've shown guys get wide open, but the correct read according to you is the 1 on 1 covered guy or the triple covered Calvin, or throwing through the back of a defender trying to get it to pettigrew.
The no one on this team gets open excuse has been debunked.
6 of 19. Plus Calvin hurt. 31% in 2013
8 of 16. 50% in 2012.
And then you have the pressure from backup Oline allowed, you have backup weapons not getting open causing forces to good WRs.
3 to Fuller and 1 to Jordan Thompson in 2014. 33% of his picks to backups.
Reynolds/Lucas caused pressure. There has been regression allowing pressure by Peterman in 2012 and Sims/Raiola in 2014. Those were quickly fixed by Mayhew with Warford and now Laken/Man Ram and Swanson development.
Stafford was pressured 31.9%. Very high pressure in 2014.
Pressure on one snap can lead to one pick. If you actually look at the game tape, you can see when pressure causes picks. But no. You people just blindly assume it's Stafford for every pick.
Right and the league average was 33.8% so below average. Not "very high". Pressure can also be a result of the QB not making quick correct decisions.
Pressure can lead to poor play, but it is completely controllable by the QB (the result after the pressure comes). Being poor at handling pressure is a negative. This is what separates average and great QBs.
Pressure on every Stafford pick was not Stafford's fault. You are insane to think Stafford causes pressure. Stafford makes good quick decisions. Stafford is good overall against pressure, but some picks were caused by pressure.
And like I said, it only takes one pressure to cause one int. 31.9% of the time is a problem.
Stafford's pressure % was high. Weapons were hurt. Some great plays were made (Grimes). We are talking about 12 ints. 5 his fault. On 600 attempts that is a great job.
Pressure caused incompletes. Injured weapons caused incompletes. New system caused incompletes. Talented starters playing bad for a play can cause an incomplete (for instacne Calvin and Tate were blanketed against Pats, Cards and Packers). I put those losses on Calvin and Tate and the other weapons not beating single coverage more than Stafford.
