I actually agree with you, that stat was worthless b/c if they only get to the red zone 3 times in 4 games and score all 3 times that's only 3 TD's in 4 games. As for garbage time stats, tell me, how many game-changing sacks has Mario Williams had this season; how many garbage time rushing yds has CJ had...or Freddy...or TD's for Stevie? "garbage time" is nonsense..unless the score is 60-3, every minute of an NFL game counts - the other team is still trying to destroy you.

Exactly, Fitzpatrick has the FEWEST attempts of the guys in the top 10 for TD's. Fitz has 373 pass attempts. closest to Fitz is freeman with 388..carson palmer who Fitz is tied with has 503..drew brees in 1st has 492 attempts. The average is in the 420's.. Gailey's "pass happy" offfense.

LMAO..how am I "cherry picking" stats? The stat is WHAT IT IS. If you want to create a thread about his QBR, why not go ahead and create one. The stat is simple: tied for 9th in the NFL in TD's. How many players on this team are in the top 10 in ANY positive category? Or are freaking TOUCHDOWNS not a positive category now? Because from the posters on this board, apparently scoring TD's is overrated now.

no single player stat is indicative of W/L - but again, TD's are pretty damn important.

I created this thread to specifically mirror the Mario Williams being 8th in sacks thread. Its amazing how the reactions in this thread are drastically different (for the most part) from those in the MW thread.

lmfao

I'd say football is rather simple: Score TD's on offense; Prevent TD's on Defense. I'd say it's pretty important...not the be all end all, but it's high up there..lol

lol..that's silly. TD passes are the "wrong stat" now? Fitz is on pace for 27TD passes this season and the "correct stat" is 6.6yds per attempt? this entire conversation says more about the posters on here than it does anything else

LOL..it's pointless to argue with people like him.

i really feel for Wood but i agree w/getting a replacement. calling him injury prone is an understatement - he has piss-poor luck. poor fella. hopefully it's nothing season ending and he's only out a week or two, but it didn't look good at all...

lol ...don't forget the jets too..

how many more wins would we have with a defense that gave up 14 fewer points a game? at the end of the day, it's just a very average, to below average team. when the offense performs well, the defense stinks; when the defense does well, the offense stinks; when the defense and offense are both OK, the special teams stink...at the end of the day we do just enough to lose games. just bad.

the easiest thing at this point is to fire everyone....however, i'm kinda tired of seeing a coaching change every 3 yrs like clockwork.

unless we trade up to 1-3 in the draft, no QB we take next year in the draft is going to start from day 1..i think that can be taken to the bank...mid-season/end of season, who knows depending on how it's going. but ya, either way, Fitz will be starter next year, Week 1.

pretty much..

this is one game i'd prefer not to touch with money. both teams are below average but can be unpredictable (in a good way) at times. i could see Jax winning by 10 just as easily as I can see the bills winning by 10. no thanks.

i wouldn't like it b/c of where we're picking (prob 8-14)..to me he's a late 1st round/early 2nd round QB. he's got major accuracy issues. i'd be happier with best player available when we pick in 1st round, and that best player sure as heck won't be wilson in that spot.

pretty much on point here. not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. Chan and Fitz are joined at the hip. short of back to back 4 int games, fitz isn't sitting.

this guy is horrible horrible horrible vs. the run and now he can't get to the QB..no thanks.

ya i definitely thought of that...but a DE taken 8-14 isn't going to break the bank...pass rush is also a position i'd rather overpay for b/c you can never have too much of it. unfortunately for us, we've had very little of it. outside of teo, there isn't a LB worth taking top 10. i can't see us going DB again in the 1st round; i also don't see us going DT in the 1st round...looking at the players that are coming out this year and the fact that we're probably going to pick 8-14, I think it's obvious the pick is going to be DE, LB, or QB with the 1st pick and about 1% chance of anything else.

i pretty much agree with everything you just said. i really am not crazy about ANY of the QB's in this year's draft. Though I do think Geno is going to be good.

Jarvis Jones is probably better suited for a 3-4 defense, but ya the guy is a beast. However, i think the german tank is the best DE in this draft and would look awesome playing across from mario williams and/or rotaing in with anderson.

lol..that was for dramatic effect on my part.

very strong possibility that we pick a QB in one of the first two rounds, however, I can't see Geno being there when we pick; and i want nothing to do with Barkley - nothing. Tyler Wilson in the 3rd round sounds more appealing, or trade back into the 2nd to get him. outside of Geno Smith i'm not crazy about any of the QB's in this year's draft
