It is still the same, you are still mincing words and moving the goalposts.
The only thing that is the same, is my argument.
Everyone else is concentrating on the "average" part of the Tweet. You are suggesting that if Rivers or Manning played last week for the Eagles, they'd put up over 400 yards.
C-rock is the one who brought up average, not me. I repeated Manning or Rivers from the beginning.
I am suggesting that if Rivers or Manning played for the Eagles last week, the results would have been closer to 400 than 80. "More like" the Giants or Chargers game, I said.
300 is closer to 400 than 300 is to 80.
I am not denying that Foles was awful. He missed every deep throw and looked about as bad as Freeman looked Monday night.
But putting up 300 yards from an average QB is an achievement, meanwhile guys like Manning and Rivers can do it in their sleep. Even Romo had a 300 yard game and people felt he played a bad game.
Which is why if Manning or Rivers had been the QB.... they would have done it to us last weekend.
An average QB might have had a TD or two, 250 yards maybe, but to act like we got away with murder in selling a decent defensive effort short. If the Eagles had their way, they would have run a lot more and that would have made Foles behave differently and they might not have taken so many shots. That was their gameplan and we called them on it. It didn't work out.
Great. Except I didn't say an average QB would have thrown for 400 yards, ever. You are the one fixing on that word, I never said an average QB would have dominated us, just that they would have been better.
I said Manning or Rivers would have had a day more like the Chargers or Giants game.
C-rock is the one that asked me "So you're saying an average QB doesn't miss throws." My injection of the term average is in answer to that question and it carried no suggestion of how many yards, only that an average QB would have been significantly better.
