Point is Coaches and Players are the majority vote. So Teddy has made the Probowl and Sam Hasn't. Teddy is 1 for 3 and
-Sam is 0 for 7.
Teddy has 1 winning season, what should have been 1 playoff victory with the game winning drive in the last minute and
-Sam is 0 - 7. No winnings season. Never played in a playoff game.
Eventually any good QB gets it done at least once. You can't make excuses for a guy forever. Like Steve McNair made it to the Superbowl with Jeff Fisher.
So Sam has never had a winning season. Has a career pass YPA of 6.6 amongst the bottom end QB's. Never won a playoff game. Never a pro bowl even. Has had two ACL's and now long term arthritis maybe, i.e. can't play. Yet you think he is better then Teddy?
I'm not trying to bash the guy, just tell you the facts. Of any QB in the league Sam is likely the easiest to Sack with his poor mobility and pocket presence. That's where lots of people don't see why he isn't good. It's always someone else's fault. You need to be able to evade the rush, side step the rush, move up in the pocket and make throws. That's where he fails. The avg Joe just sees the pressure, they don't see the reason the pressure got there annd made the sack had lots to do with the QB not making the throw quicker or eluding the rush extending the play. He looks good with the Red jersey on, too bad they play tackle on Sundays.
