Is it REALLY this simple?

  • lemosley WPB put up a pretty definitive stat linking our success to a specific factor with the qb position.

    He asked what other stat existed that was as or more definitive to our success. I provided a pretty important stat.... Lemosley this is a TEAM game and it requires MULTIPLE TEAM FACTORS to create success.

    This is never as simple as one players performance... A QB needs someone to block, catch, call plays that are not predictable etc... field position blah blah blah. You are so ANTI DA that anyone posting information about the TEAM that links our success as a TEAM all you can think of is your BQ love.

    But you aren't focusing on the team. All you are saying is 'if Jamal gets 20+ carries we win'. What is that about focusing on an individual performance?

    That stat you quote is a an effect of winning, not the cause for winning. Look at the wins and see when most of his carries came. That's right - AFTER we got a lead. This isn't the unique to the NFL - most of the winning teams are PASSING to setup the run. Sorry that you don't like it, but it's true.

    Look at Minnesota and ask - what are they missing. If you answered 'a legit QB' you are correct.

    It's interesting that you want to call me out on 'bias'. Pot, meet kettle. The difference is, unlike you, I am not Pro-Quinn because he is Brady Quinn and I am in love with him, I believe he won't be worse than 31st rank in the NFL.

    I'm Anti-Anderson because he is Mr. Inconsistent and I don't believe we'll ever win a Championship with Mr. Inconsistent (and to a greater degree RAC).

    In games that DA has completed at least 50% of his passes...and has 0 or 1 INT, the Browns are 12-0 since last year!!!

    In games that DA has EITHER completed LESS than 50% of his passes or has had MULTIPLE INT's, the Brows are 1-10 (the only win was Buffalo in a snow storm).

    Again

    50% completions, 1 or fewer INT's: 12-0

    Less than 50% completions or multiple INT's: 1-10

    Now, please tell me what other stat is THAT DEFINITIVE!!!

    It's real simple this stat means shit because Anderson completed 51 percent of his passes today going 17 for 33 and threw 1 INT and guess what surprise surprise the BROWNS LOST!!! Tell Braylon I drop balls constantly and am overrated Edwards maybe if he catches that deep ball that Anderson put right on the money to him when the game was tied at 27-27 like a receiver like Hines Ward has done his whole career maybe the Browns win. The bottom line is Braylon Edwards is a gagger when it comes to making clutch catches the guy is overrated as shit...

    DA was named team MVP last year.

    You did not.

  • listen again today 19 attempts for 49 yds...... DA is NOT good enough to carry the team. You have to be able to rush.

    Steinbach got hurt and we went to pot, we dont have Tucker or Vickers this game and we could not run.

  • Many teams have trouble running against Baltimore.

    Would it be too much to ask a QB to step up once in awhile and carry this team? With DA, the answer, sadly, is yes.

    Sev- even the announcers get it.

    Nobody has put a hundo on the ground against the ratbirds in the last 26 games!!!

    Ahhh...the excuses keep on coming. Damn, are the flowing freely.

  • All i know is I have friends, people at work etc. that see it. They're saying the same thing about DA. So those that feel that DA is not the issue actually feel he has nothing to do with this team being 3-5 now....that he has done everything needed for this team to succeed? I'm callin' bullshit on that and I'm sure some others will also.

  • Ravens had a banged up secondary today that we should have taken advantage of...that didn't happen. No one has been able to run on the ravens this season, so Im not exactly surprized that we didn't either.

  • Allowing the ratbirds churn out 429 yards

    The conservative play calling hurt,

    Blowing a 14 pt lead hurt.

    So not being able to run, and having Rice run for 157 hurt. Including a 60 yard run. Having only 49 yards running hurts.

    apparently it's not that simple WPB. Especially when you have a D that gives up 429 yds to Baltimore.
