QB THREAD - 2x quarterbacky award winner: Lamar Jackson

Russell Wilson last year in 3 playoff games. 524 yards, 3 TD's 101.6 rating. Super Bowl.

Alex Smith in one playoff game last year. 378 yards, 4 TD's 119.7 rating. Lost in Wild Card game.


Must have been those 42 yards rushing in 3 games that really elevated Russ's game to Super Bowl heights.

Ya know what tho, Alex had 57 yards rushing in his one game.................................

This is coming with me on every page of this thread from now on.
 
Paramlee was a average running back, good receiver out of the backfield and a great blocking back

Was he Thurman Thomas? No

He suited what the Dolphins wanted at the time
 
seriously...can we just stop entertaining the discussion of the ******* dolphins :lol

Alex Smith was on fire that game combined with Lucks turnovers

But I could have sworn Smith had 2 or 3 blunders

Also Brady was winning Super Bowls with dudes like Antowin Smith at running backs and Jermaine Wiggins as a contributor

And you know who beat that Alex Smith dynamic/historic playoff run?

Andrew Luck.

Alex Smith played one of the best if not the best single half of football I have ever seen a QB have in the playoffs.  And this is coming from a certified Alex Smith Hater.  He was brilliant.

In the second half, not so much.  While you could make the argument that if your team is up more than 3 touchdowns, you shouldnt have to do a whole lot in the 2nd half to win the game (and that is certainly a reasonable expectation), Alex was not able to put any real points on the board in the second half (first drive of the 2nd half was a result of a huge interception return).  On the final drive of the game, Alex took a HUGE intentional grounding penalty and overthrew a wide open Cyrus Gray on what would have probably sealed a win for the Chiefs if completed.

It would he silly to nitpick this game and say Alex didnt play well.  His first half was extraordinary.  Second half was a little "meh" but when he did such a great job building that lead, its hard to lay much fault on him.  He did fumble once, but my point still stands.

I've never said Wilson is better than Andrew Luck

Luck is a great quarterback but Wilson deserves a lot credit for the Seahawks success

Wilson is borderline elite in my opinion
 
Alex didn't "elevate" his team the way Russ did.

That's the difference between why Russ won a Super Bowl, and Alex lost in round 1.


*Google logic*
 
I remember watching the first half of that game and passing out.

When I woke up to see the colts came back and win I was like wtf happened?

In all fairness I think Charles was out or got hurt? Not to mention Andy refuses to use his RBs at points.
Charles was out, yes.  But Knile Davis was having a pretty good game in his place.

But according to you box scores don't matter. It's all about the eye test

That is correct.

And my eyes showed me that Russ made one single throw in the Saints game to seal it. (great one handed catch by Baldwin I believe it was)
Made I think 2 plays vs the 9ers, the offsides heave caught in the end zone, not sure what the other one was
And then he was up 29-0 in the Super Bowl before I even saw him make a play.


So between stats, and my eyes, not sure what all he did last postseason.


Now the Carolina game, he was very, very good. And I give him credit for that game, WAY better than anything he did last year.
 
Stolen from another forum
Teddy Bridgewater's accuracy under pressure (per @PFF ): 75.2%, best in the league and the highest single season score since 2008. 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
Passes aimed 11-30 yards downfield: 
Bridgewater: 60.7%, YPA 11.5 
Luck: 49.7%, 10.5 
Wilson: 44.0%, 9.9 
Rodgers: 48.0%, 8.6 

Bridgewater is #1 in completion percentage, and tied for first for best YPA. Brees, Romo, Ryan and Roethlisberger are his closest comparisons. No one under age 27 is even close to close. 
------------------------------------------------------------ 
Bridgewater is #1 in adjusted accuracy percentage since week 9, and #3 for the season as a whole. 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
per PFF: "Bridgewater was one of the league’s best at protecting the football. Rather than look at interception totals, we like to focus on the actual throws that he made rather than the results, and when looking through that lens, Bridgewater was among the league’s best at avoiding “turnover-worthy plays,” ranking among the likes of Alex Smith, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger." 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
The only QBs with higher CMP% and more YPA than Bridgewater in 2014: Rodgers, Romo, Manning, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan. 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
3rd down passing, filtering for QBs with >50 3rd down attempts: 
Bridgewater: 74/108: 68.5% -- #1 in the league (Romo 2nd at 66.9%), NFL average 59% 
Bridgewater: 8.5 YPA -- #6 in the league (Rodgers 1st with 9.2), NFL average 7.4 
----------------------------------------------------------- 
Teddy Bridgewater was the NFL's 4th highest rated passer in DEC and that's with games vs jets lions & dolphins. All top 10 defenses. Bridgewater also finished with a PFF grade of +11.0 over his last five games to lead all NFL quarterbacks. 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
Of 27 QBs who had 50% of team dropbacks: 

Completion percentage: 
since week 9: 67.2% (T-4th) 
last 5 weeks: 72.1% (T-1st) 

Yards per attempt: 
since week 9: 7.56 (7th) 
last 5 weeks: 8.79 (2nd) 

Passer rating: 
since week 9: 94.0 (7th) 
last 5 weeks: 103.0 (2nd) 
--------------------------------------------------------- 

Also, all of this was done playing behind the NFL's 3rd worst pass blocking OL, throwing to WRs with PFF ratings of 0.0, -1.4, -2.7 and -3.7, a 3rd string TE for most of the season, and playing almost the entire season with a RB that graded out at -10.3 (56th in the league).

I hope the Vikings win a Super Bowl just for @JAYFIEND
