I saw this thread and was soooo ready to come in and say..... get over it. both have moved on. lol.

But the article just goes to show what I have not been saying so eliquently.... and that is although some here look to the stats and talk about them like they are golden, we fans really don't have a clue what was actually going on one each play and where the QB was supposed to go with the ball and how he changed the play. Only the coach's know and only they can make an informed decision as to whether the QB is doing his job or not and if he's playing well.

The coach's look at so much more and have so much more info to work with. We fans only know what we see and only use half the statistics the coaching staff has access to. It's easy to say QB X threw whatever # of interceptions and whatever completions and say he sucks or he's decent but in reality that does not define the QB. Because we don't know on the play with an interception if the QB read the defense well or not and if he did, did he re route the WR correctly, and did he go through his progressions right.
