I’m not part of the crowd that says VY is a bust and can never be good. I don’t happen to think he will be good, but I am willing to give him the requisite four years before I label him. My beef is with the people who try to act like he has been a good QB so far. He hasn’t—-he has benefited from some fantastic defensive play (last year) and a number of lucky breaks, some of which he helped cause, in his rookie year. By any measure, he has not been a good QB.

But, like I said, I’ll give him four years.

BBS got his panties in a wad because I made one joke about Peyton being injured and sent me a needlessly adversarial and totally holier-than-thou email. I fired back, suggesting that he go have sex with himself (edited for the audience here), he wrote back trying to take the moral highroad, and I fired back with a more firm suggestion that he should:
1. stop taking himself so seriously because everyone who has to deal with him thinks he’s a joke
2. stop pretending like his blog has any importance in my life, such that I would care if I was banned
3. again, go have sex with himself.

Then I was banned.

are a pointless stat, as recovering a fumble is a purely random occurrence that the player who fumbled has zero control over. The relevant stat is FUMBLES, i.e. how many times he put the ball on the turf, and VY did that 12 times.

Also, 2800 yards of total offense is only impressive if you are talking about a running back.
