Post Game Loss Complaint Thread Browns Edition

Just like some fans think Magic Mike never screws up

 

It happen that a QB screwed up when you play over 250 games...Even for Tom Brady.Still not the reason why they were not in the playoffs that year.This is a another story for the 2006 season

 

And if the team had both of them, they probably would've had a few more wins .

 

This week’s backup QBs
LFG

 

No, but I think a lot of the same reasons why the B's team didn't win and the current teams aren't winning are comparable. We're losing in the same manner. There's really only one constant between those two teams...

I can understand why people are upset that the B's didn't win a SB. That's fair. But there's plenty of reasons to be upset that we don't win playoff games currently. We're not the best roster, but we are a good enough roster to win a playoff game in the last 9 years. We just are. Plenty of not great QB's win playoff games (heck, a couple have won a SB). Plenty of meh rosters get hot and win a game or two in the postseason. The best team often doesn't win it all... which is why one and done is so awesome. Its just so demoralizing to be a Steeler fan right now. We have a quality enough roster, but we either look awesome or look like trash. Then we get hot and look to have a high chance of getting in... then get beat by one of the worst teams in the league for no reason. When we look down and out, we go on a winning streak to suck us back in. We have a model of consistency from year to year (we win 9 or 10 games basically every year), but within each season is a tale of high highs and low lows... For a model of consistency, we're wildly inconsistent... there's a reason for that.

 

Since 2010 there have been a ton of non-elite QB's that go to (or win) the SB...

Hurts, Purdy, Garroppolo, Goff, Foles, Newton, Kaepernick, Flacco.

Even going back to 1995 there's Warner, Grossman, Hasselbeck, Delhomme, Gannon, Johnson, Chandler, O'Donnell

I understand that the "most elite" QB's are going to be multiple SB winners (Brady, Mahomes, Ben, Manning (both, technically)) and there's a couple that went multiple times and won once (Brees, Wilson, Warner). Rodgers and Stafford have each only been once but won when they did... But the whole list of SB starting QB's is littered with average to slightly above average QB's mixed in with the greats.

 

By now you should know
Fans make
More excuses for losing than the players do
I totally agree with your post

 

You think not having a good QB since Ben is an excuse?

Show me one team that consistently wins without a top 10 QB.

This is a QB driven league, and we are not bad enough to draft a good one. That is not an excuse for Tomlin or the Steelers, that is pro football reality. And college, and even high school.

 

And Dilfer was what, 25 years ago? Every year the game has become more and more QB/offense friendly. As such the value of the QB position has continued to increase. But it is virtually impossible to find a good QB without drafting in the top 10.
The Rams and Stafford are the exception, not the rule.

 

You don't think Warner was an elite QB? The HOF voters disagree. If Brees ever went to a second SB, it was as a spectator.....
