I'm stunned that nobody has picked him yet. He again will prove why he is the (2nd) biggest difference maker on the offense.The Rules wrote:You can pick anyone you wish, but just remember the bolder the pick, the better (ie, picking AR is a safe choice, but you're only likely to win if he does something historic).

There is no boldness at all after the 1st game in picking the new QB. Love has a middling game and he wins last week's Here's Johnny, over Gary who produced 3 sacks and 4 QB hits in 23 snaps.
Picking Gary last week had some boldness to it, we knew he would have limited snaps. And he produced the best game I have seen from a Packer since I started watching the Packers in the early 1960's. Even better than Favre's game after his father died. But what was really a poor performance by Love trumped that. The plain fact is that for 3 quarters Love had a bad game, probably the worst game he will have all year. The plain fact is that the D, led by Gary, held the Saints to 10 points.
I respectfully leave this contest. There is nothing bold in it. Maybe next year. Now, if it were run accord to a boldness standard, the QB should get a minus 4 vote handicap. Jones, Watson, Doubs, Clark, Gary, Rasul, Alexander, etc. should get a minus 2 vote handicap. Other starters and 1st round draft picks should be neutral. Someone like Carrington Valentine should get a + 2 vote boost. And any UDFA this season should get a + 4.
But should Carrington Valentine get 2 interceptions and hold the QB rating to under 50 against his coverage, people will still be voting for the QB. So there is no point in me choosing Valentine because he can't win the contest even though he can be the clear standout of the game.
thats impossible, that performance ranks up there with play off wins.
Feel free to produce the handicappers sheet. And they're off! It will never be perfect otherwise I'd have won every week instead of never.TheSkeptic wrote: ↑28 Sep 2023 01:11Yeah, picking Jones is NOT bold.Labrev wrote: ↑27 Sep 2023 11:50That's exactly why nobody picked him.

Not enough.
Doubs was our only consistent offense, but nothing spectacular.
