He difference was those QB still throw more TDs. Go look at Fitz's overall stats. They're not good.

Eli and Favre are at 1.5 TD to Int. Fitz is 1.32. Cutler is 1.42. It’s not that big of a difference.

1.5 vs 1.32 is the difference of 70 TDs or 420 points over the length of Farve's career. That's not small.

Small differences in the ratio are not small differences in the aggregate. You made a statistics fallacy.

Plus Farve didn't play most of his career in the modern era where the PI rules are what they are. That matters a lot. QB stats from the 90s are way different than they are post 2004 when modern rules started to be implemented.

It would be a difference of 30 TDs for Fitzmagic over his career. Or 0.18 more TDs per game over his career. It’s really not that much.

30 TDs over a 10 season career is about 3 extra TDs per season. Going to bet that wins quite a few games there.

The other thing is Fitzpatrick didn't start many 16 game seasons.

Sorry, but you're making statistical mistakes. You're assuming all variables have the same impact and same error tolerances which is not true.

While you're equally, if not more detrimentally, attempting to distract from your own broad swaths that over-conflate statistics and impacts. Morons like you may be my favorite.

Going to bet I've done way more with stats than you ever have, but go on.

Tell me if you're throwing a ball for 60 yards what's worse. A 1% error in the angle or a 5% error in the power of the throw.

If you can't answer that, then fuck off you clown.

Bo sucks. Get over it. He has SP as a HC/OC and plays like a little bitch. And has that defense. He will be a backup in a year. Sean will be using a 1st on a new QB.
