Dak not looking so hot without the best OL in football to lean on.
Vick always had the stigma regarding his passing (you always hear it, the pocket passer stigma). Now with some of the running QB's in college, it was a legit issue going to the pros (RG3 rings a bell). Once his legs were gone, he couldn't do much. But that stigma has still been applied to guys from Cam Newton, to Winston, to everyone's favorite guy to hate Kaepernick. Kaep for guys who really pay attention made a lot of strides as a passer last season, and put up nice TD:Int ratio on a absolutely terrible team. Hell Watson's draft position took slight hit just from the concern he couldn't be a dynamite passer in the pros.
I absolutely agree with you that it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be, guys like Wilson winning a SB and showing he can throw the ball downfield as good as almost anybody have a way of trumping stigma...but it still exists in spots around the league.
FTFY
Fair play to Iggles, they're looking really good. Dallas is an absolute side-show. Between injuries, all around dog shit play and Jerry being a senile old fuck head this season is done. Ah well, at least Okie State is great. Whoops.
For the QBs mentioned, these concerns were legitimate. Newton has always had accuracy issues. Winston had int and maturity issues(still went #1). Kaep's only good year in the pocket was with QB guru Kelly. Kelly made Folk look amazing and Sanchez decent at times. Guy could work with anything.
Watson's amazing and a mistake but I understand the reasoning. He had the same problem Mason Rudolph has this year. Is it him or those amazing WRs? Williams, Watkins, Montavius B, Hopkins. Clemson has pushed out some of the best WRs in the nation for the past 5 years and made Tajh Boyd look great. Wouldn't you question just a bit considering the importance of the position? Watson beating Bama's players up twice would have sold me but I'm a massive fan and biased as hell.
This just isn't an issue today. It's trying to find a problem anywhere they can.
I really can't wait for the Saints/Eagles playoff game. I only hope the winner can still put up a fight against the Patriots.
What I can wait for? The absolute fucking beating the Steelers will lay on the Packers. I can't believe this didn't get flexed out, nationwide Packers / Steelers fans or not.
Some of us tried to tell Ambi and others that line was no longer #1. Even worse with an injury or two.

Im so glad the Ravens offense sucks, because their D is flat out nasty. (My FF team thanks to them for the win)
If I was the Raiders owner Marshawn Lynch would have been off the fucking team and could ask the Mexican govt for a flight home. Fuck you faggot. What a slap in the face.
