Only quoting stats shows a lack of any authentic analysis of what happened on the field. Anyone can read a box score. How many passing yards/completions did Pat rack up tonight from throwing easy screens/short passes and having our playmakers eat field? How pitiful was the 15 yard sack he took?He threw two áwful picks, easily could have had a third. 3 tds looks great in the box score, but each was the result of a decent pass and incredible plays from his receivers. Now obviously you can't discount it, but when you just say "but he had 3 tds!!!!!1!1!1!" it makes it sound like he was just a puppet master carving up ekus DBs, when in reality it had significantly more to do with incredible receiver plays. Again, feel compelled to "defend" him if you want, but anyone who watched the game and doesn't feel the need to stick up for any given player on a message board(including the editor of this board) completely disagrees with you
