[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1086578, member: 17987"] There's some truth to that but again I also think it's a matter of sample size. Love has nearly 10x the reps as Willis this year alone, no matter how objective we try and be (and no matter how good or bad Willis plays/played) the sheer volume of it is going to make Love's issues/errors/etc seem more apparent. That's not to say Willis hasn't been good or Love hasn't made mistakes, but when you evaluate a player on 900 snaps rather than 90 it's always going to paint a different picture IMO. It's tough for me to say too because Love has pretty consistently been a good "numbers" QB who often doesn't appear it to the "eye test". And if we were looking at a much, MUCH smaller sampling that would make sense. There have been plenty of instances where Love will make a "bad" throw and a "should have been intercepted" turns into a harmless incompletion or miracle catch for us, and people will look at it and say "Well, he got away with one there". And on a one-off or limited basis that makes sense and is probably fair to say. But Love has been doing this so frequently for so long - he has such a large body of work to draw upon - how long can we still say he is just "getting away with it" or whatever? If the numbers are outpacing the "eye test" for whole seasons, for YEARS on end, at what point do we start to trust the measurables? Or do we still default to just what we see/observe? I don't know the answer for sure but I guess my point is that - regardless of what the eye test gives us - if Love is consistently putting up great numbers (and by and large he has been) over a multi-year period then I can only conclude Love is either the luckiest QB of ALL TIME or he is actually pretty good, even if unorthodox or not always "appearing" that way, ya know?
