Tom Brady = Old - Humphries Preferred MM8

You completely misunderstand the separation argument. I presented that when people claimed that our WRs weren't getting open . And the evidence shows that they were pretty damn open Mariota attempted to get the ball to them. That argument doesn't apply to Brady because he didn't throw 11 TDs last year with people making a ton of excuses for him. And everyone knows that he is in a great system with great coaches, and his receivers get open. But he, in turn, gets a lot out of them as well. Brady and Mariota should never be compared in any way because one is an elite NFL QB and the other is a below average system QB.

 

Hide the QB system. All of them.

 

When unleashed what has Mariota done? Did his stats increase or decrease?

Are you saying that with more attempts Mariota would have... wait for it... more yards?

So on one hand you're saying Mariota isn't good SOLELY because of his stats. But now you're saying the system (coaches and scheme) didn't give Mariota a lot of passing attempts.

Hmm... Seems like you don't even know what you're arguing anymore. Liars fatigue setting in?

 

No system is going to make a QB significantly worse. Less productive, sure. But Luck may have never missed a significant amount of time if he had Mularkey as a HC, and had an offense which only required him to make the most of his opportunities. That's been the story of Russell Wilson's career, and he is considered an elite QB and threw 35 TDs last year despite Seattle attempting the fewest number of passes in the league. A good running game can help a QB more efficient, and vice versa. But a QB who isn't much of a threat to throw the ball and isn't very efficient is going to cause the entire offense to struggle

 

“No system is going to make a QB significantly worse”

That’s got to be the worst opening line in the history of this board. And factually a lie that anybody could disprove.

Let me design a system for Brady and see if he can put up Belichek numbers in it.

 

If Brady was behind a good O line and with a team that could run the ball, he'd be perfectly fine. You seem to think that the system is the only reason for his success, but if you put Mariota in the same one you would see that it isn't the case.

 

They suck at hiding him since he’s been sack so much.

 

What does that have to do with what you said?
