Yup. That's what I'm saying. You actually prove my point with Flynn. They saw him as playing great in the system, not so great outside of it. Again, I'm not laying faith in Harrell but faith in the system. You must also be forgetting about the years when teams "dared" Brett Favre to beat them, because he was sloppy and a shell of his MVP years prior to 2005. McCarthy brought the work ethic out of Favre and he had one of his best seasons in 2007. I don't think that had as much to do with Brett deciding to play better, but McCarthy and his QB system pulling that HOF talent back out of the guy.
The last time Rodgers was off the field, our backup almost beat a good Patriots team in Foxboro. I don't have the same faith in backup defensive ends
So would you say Von Miller is more important to the Broncos than Peyton Manning based on the fact that they went to the playoffs with Tim Tebow last year and won a game? God I hope not.
While you can take a small sample size and say the results are close, if you watch the 2 QBs (Rodgers and Flynn) you are watching two different levels of QBs. Flynn isnt that good. Even his small sample size reflects that, with 9 tds and 5 ints.
Some fans were surprised when Alex Smith was benched for Kaep in SF. But if you actually watched the game, the players, the throws, you saw two different QBs. You wouldnt have been surprised by the change in QBs bc 1 could make throws the other one couldnt.
