Grimes certainly would've been useful as a part time DB in this defense, not a starter, but his wife is a ticking time bomb team kill machine. It's worth the pain we're suffering now without that baggage. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
How come it's ok for the negative people on here to make assumptions on the game, such as "We'd have lost by 50 if Garrapolo hadn't gotten hurt," but many of those same people argued with me that it was unfair to talk about Tannehill's stats if Stills made the catch week one.
I can only speak for myself, but I never disagreed with you about what Tannehill's stats would have looked like if Stills made that catch (in fact I calculated that for you!). What I won't accept is the claim that the "would be" stats are the ones we should go by, unless of course one can do a similar "would be" adjustment for everyone. Same thing here. I agree IF Garropolo didn't get hurt NE would've blown us out even more, but that's not the stat you go by. Besides, defense deserves credit for taking out Garropolo.
Yeah, I know you didn't. My only point with the "would be" stats was to show Tannehill's level of play as contrasted with hours actual stats in the game. I just think it's funny that many of the people arguing with me over game one aren't arguing the idea that they "would have" dropped 50 on us. Some of them are advancing that idea.
I know I personally never mentioned anything about what the score would've been. But it would be completely disingenuous for anyone to proclaim the game would have played out exactly the same with Garrapolo still in there instead of Brissett. It's inevitable though.
