It’s so weird. He is consistently bottom 5 or 10 in almost all stats, and yet his career record is 13-7. The Steelers haven’t had particularly stunning offenses the last two years, and their defenses have been statistically middle of the pack. It’s almost crazy that he has a winning record considering these are his game stats in his wins this season.
- 15/30, 222 yards, 1 td, 1 int, 71.8 rating
- 16/28, 235 yards, 2 tds, 108.5 rating
- 18/32, 224 yards, 1 td, 88.5 rating
- 17/25, 230 yards, 97.1 rating
- 19/30, 160 yards, 1 td, 88.2 rating
- 14/23, 126 yards, 75.6 rating
that means per win, he’s averaging
- 16.5/28, 199.5 yards, 0.8 td, 0.1 int, 79.2 rating
I can’t think of a single team that would have a winning record with this quarterback play, and yet the Steelers continue to win. It’s so odd.
Everyone is just so enamored with stats and numbers. W’s, playoffs, Super Bowls. That’s all that really matters. Sunshine can Win and has a playoff caliber D. They’re close. Losing what 2 MILB’s they had is going to be a problem that’ll probably doom them down the road this year. But the core is young and talented.
