The only difference is people like you call every QB you see a shitty one unless it's Andrew Luck. So when the 70% of them don't make it, you crow about how selective and precise you are when it comes to this game.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs are still sucking shit through the Alex Smith straw and may continue doing the same thing and looking for a veteran to trade for instead of drafting their own guy.

You see, I see the difference as you see every QB outside of Alex as another Luck or Brady or Rodgers, with just an occasional forgivable and fixable mistake. Whereas everything good that happens around a team with Alex is either luck, shitty competition, or the rest of the team masking him.
People make the engine comparision thinking it's binary, either you think every component is completely alike in form, function and importance, or you recognize that the QB is the one engine part that really matter.
It's not that every engine part, or auto part to expand the metaphor, is exactly alike. It's that every part is a piece of the whole.
A nice BMW M3 isn't the biggest, or most powerful, or most exotic, auto. But it's been designed with a philosophy. The engine matches the tires, matches the suspension, matches the running gear. And it's a performance [W/L record] gem with high reliability.
Drafturbators want to walk the earth in search of a rare Bugatti W-16 with quad superchargers, then plop it into whatever car happens to be on hand once acquired. Or they have a coach assemble a great M3 that will smoke most every car on the road if it's properly tuned, then bitch that we're 'wasting' a great car with the motor designed for it, when we should have been hunting for that W-16 for the past decade instead. |
