He'll hate a stat until it supports whatever particular brand of inane horseshit he's spewing, then it becomes his stat of the day. The GIFs are cherry picked and the freeze-frames are generally just wrong. Hell, even when he's trying to back his own horse with one of those he's an idiot. He posted that one with Foles not looking at the RB leaking free on the back side when he threw an out route the other way and said "That's okay, with more film study he'll hit that..."
No he ****ing won't; QBs don't have eyes in the back of their heads and the play was never designed for the leak route to be used unless everything's fallen apart. He had an okay look on the out and he took it because that's what you do in a timing offense. But Clay believes quarterbacks are given the same view he gets on Madden where they can somehow see the entire field at once and know that the backside defender on a play designed to go to the opposite side of the field hasn't gotten to the sideline quickly enough. Sure thing, sport.
He posts gifs all the time that actually undermine his point. He'll post images out of context that make no sense even on their face and make even less sense when put in full review. Some of what he says is accurate because nobody's wrong all the time but the majority of it falls apart when subject to scrutiny.

Your assessment of Madden-heads not understanding the QB's view of the field is right on. Even if they have never played real football at any level, you would think common sense would prevail.
Alas.
