Yeah, you enjoy watching other teams in the playoffs? The losing seasons year after year?
I enjoy the games on their own merit. But lacking success ain't as fun as winning.
Between Ducasse and Davis, I don't think we're getting that 3rd rounder, bud.

Pats acquired GIlmore, Ealy, Cooks and Allen and are still gonna get 2 comp picks. Outrageous.
Mostly worse across the board then. It's great that he improved in critical situations but I'm reluctant to give him a pass for his play suffering elsewhere and overshadowing that.
How so? He played worse across the board. Clearly they didn't need him to do what they did in 2015 because they beat that production in 2016 with him being worse.
Hockey analogy. If I'm a crappy goalie and my team wins 50 games, then next year I play even crappier and my team wins 60, would you say I'm a reason we won all those games? No.
Well see if a QB throws 100 times and his receivers drop 10 balls, that's the same drop rate as a QB who throws 50 times and his receivers drop 5 balls.
Crazy, huh? It's almost like "throwing less" doesn't matter at all!
Your argument would hold more water if "drive killing drops" didn't happen all the time to every team in the NFL.
TT had 11 dropped passes in 15 games in 2016. Good for 25th in the league grossly. By drop percentage, he had the 11th lowest in the NFL counting QB's with over 300 attempts.

It's a hard argument to swallow that our WR's were underwhelming in the drop category with the numbers above. Especially when you consider TT's accuracy issues.
All of the stats I just listed were 2016 compared to 2015. You're welcome to disagree but the numbers almost across the board and the eye test disagree with you.
TT did enough to not tank the offense. But he still played worse than in 2015.
Scored more. Rushed more. Ran more plays per drive. Scored more points per drive. Had more yards per drive. Had more time per drive. Had less 3 and outs. Had a higher score percentage.
TT sucked. His individual stats all went down. Everyone else played great.
