It just sounds like some people are getting some serious sand in their vaginas because people dont crown DT the best ever at his respective position.
There are people who believe that Joe Montana or even Peyton Manning were better than John Elway. I disagree whole heartily with that notion but i dont equate their opinions as hate about Elway, just a different perspective.
He had two seasons with more drops that dt has ever had. One with 15 and one with 17. Dude youve misquoted and misrepresented this whole thread. Hang it up.
I can sum up my whole position quite quickly. Saying rod was far superior to dt because he didnt drop balls is pure fallacy on two levels. I dont thing drops tell the whole story as showed by hof receivers that dropped some balls and purely by the numbers rod dropped more than dt.
Secondly i never detracted from Sanders but rather stated that touting him as the better receiver is just spiteful because until this year he has never been better than dt
They dont always tell the whole story either, look at JSteves last post about targets, etc. Again, DT is more talented of the two but when i watch both on the field i feel as if Sanders comes up more clutch than DT does. But that does not equate to hate like you try to propose, just a different perception.
Not only that, but then you would have to try and narrow down the "scenarios" in which the drops happen. Were they during a blowout, were they while a defender was tackling them, or how many were there when the WR was wide open. Not sure if there are any adequate or accurate stats to even provide that kind of information. Its easy to point to a basic number but dont really give an answer to when and at what point of the game they actually happen.
Ive already stated im not a fan of dropped passes as an evaluator of a player. If you get targeted 150 times a year there will be drops. And some guys will drop a few more than others. But to use that to negate everything else the guy does is lunacy. That, slim is the reason i brought Rod up.
And i agree wholeheartedly thst last week was horrid, but i never decided John was no longer a great qb because of horrible incompletions or picks. They didnt negate the rest of his resume
