This is all I want to see. Does he play better in the spread or was Kyle's offense really what was best for him in the end. Or did it even matter? LOL
Define "play better".
There's no doubt in my mind that Jimmy will have success throwing to Devante Adams, arguably the best WR in football. Jimmy's a good QB who's played for McDaniels.
I ask the question what's "play better" mean because for years people have used wins-losses to prove Jimmy's value.
What happens if Jimmy G's stats improve but the Raiders go 6-10?
It will interesting to watch those same posters who used to value winning, now value individual performance over winning… now that he's losing (hypothetically).
Another poster lining up the excuses already
Yup it was pretty clear what was goin on there
Same crap they were doing before free agency began. Suddenly the bar was raised super high for Jimmy's contract, just so they could say "I told you so." Simply very odd behavior from a group that has tirelessly downplayed and ridiculed everything Jimmy has accomplished; and repeatedly said they can't wait for him to be gone so they don't have to talk about him anymore.
This W/L thing is beyond annoying. It is one of MANY data points that were used to argue Jimmy's worth. Now suddenly it's the only thing that matters; for both his contract and future with the Raiders. Hmm I wonder why they'd try to minimize Jimmy to only his W/L record, going to a crap organization like the Raiders?
For the life of me I will never understand why people would want to spend so much time hoping that a player does poorly, especially one that plays/played for their favorite team.
Furlow… you were just saying before Jimmy signed that you would understand if Jimmy didn't get much money due to him getting injured again this year, but the year before that when he was injured, and wasn't a FA, you bet me $100 Jimmy would be traded for a first round pick. Jimmy was considered injury prone then, and he's considered injury prone now. Nothing changed. Only your stance.
Talk about excuses. Don't talk about backtracking Furlow unless you wanna finally own up to losing our bet.
Faithful6. You repeatedly used wins and losses to prop up Jimmy. Now you're acting like you haven't? Again, there's a reason everyone calls out your posts. You contradict yourself more than any poster on here. Don't talk to me about consistency.
Me? Ive repeatedly said that wins and losses don't tell you a thing about how great a QB is. Nothing. If you tell me player 1 won 75% of his games and player 2 won 45% of his games, you still have no idea who's the better player.
My stance on wins and losses has not changed and I'm not making excuses. I'm pointing out a future hypocrisy that we're all about to see. I don't even feel the need to respond to Furlow's comment because literally nothing he wrote applies to what I'm saying. Par for the course with that poster.
