I agree, watching QBs in multiple situations really helps you understand the type of player they are. You know how many great plays made by a qb shows "incompletion" on the stat sheet?
This exact convo is where I think a lot of people get annoyed with David Lombardi, stats to him are end all be all. "No qb in NFL history has had this type of start to an nfl season"… come on bro. lol 25 years ago the game was completely different. I've seen Bree's abd manning start with record stats to start a season. Overall, you have to factor in the tape when telling a story with the stats (context and situational)
