No they do not. The NFC East is horrifically bad this year. An 8-8 team has a real shot at winning it. Eagles are a missed field goal away from being 2-1, everyone is overreacting after how bad the offense as a whole looked against Dallas. When QBs switch teams and are in a new system it is expected that it will take some time for them to get comfortable, now compound that by having the QB miss most of the previous 2 seasons. There is still a lot of time for him to get things turned around.

*Insert no such thing as a good pats fan*
How?
Gabbert has...what? A season an a half or so sample size playing for an NFL Europe quality team? Mallett has only a few games under his belt for a team that somewhat resembles a professional team.
I don't see how you can reach much of a conclusion in direct comparison. The answer is that he probably is better, but he hasn't done anything.
Yea, but you're a Pats* fan, so nothing exists outside out of Boston.

Also, when is it going to be time for Chip to yank Sam for The Sanchize? At least he knows how to get the ball to Jordan.

That's what you get for following every Lake Ontario team and then randomly the Browns. If you had rooted for the home team, rather than some odd ass team hundreds of miles away, you wouldn't be sitting here now crying into your Kraft dinner.
But it's not too late kitty. Renounce your bandwagon jumping past and join us in the glorious Buffalo Bills-lead future. Because, as you are well aware, nobody circles the wagons like the motherfucking Buffalo Bills.
Seeing how we (I) are talking about franchises in Florida and Texas, probably suggests otherwise.
No. He is new to the team, and hasn't played football in 2 years. This is a special circumstance. If this were Nick Foles who played this poorly out of the gate again, then okay, you'd have a point, but this is a new QB, a new system for him, and he's just getting back in the groove of playing NFL games. The talent is there, and we have time to see if he can put it all together.

Matthews has 22 catches for 231 yards in 3 games. Damn I wish we had someone who would throw him the ball. Stupid Chip.

I get to enjoy my Sunday this week....watching Iron Giant after sleeping through Dolphins game 
Weeden can hold the fort down while Arts and Crafts Tony is gone. No need to worry.
Will it hurt when you lose the division to him?
Sorry, but going 8-8 and getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs doesn't excite me. We need a franchise QB. I give Chip credit for trying with Bradford, but it just isn't working out.
Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Maybe he turns it around at some point this season, but given how bad he has looked so far and given his career to date, I'm not holding my breath.

You can't bench a first ballot Hall of Famer like Bradford. Look at the amazing career he has had.

It's just so nice to not have the worst QB in the league for the first time since Gata was born.
Don't worry I fully expect this depressed coach to have this team not ready to play
that's gotta be one of the best "i have cable" commercials. Romo pulls off a creep a little too well if you ask me.

I was kidding, lol.
Arts and crafts Romo is a better qb than Weeden.
Keep fucking that chicken that is Bradford. I hope you guys give him a JJ Watt type deal and he retires an eagle in 15 years.
Based on the response, I figured there would be more takers. Seems they are clearly more concerned on which advert Tony Romo is the best in.

I know! Buffalo isn't as bad as the Bears! Or Dolphins! Or Jets! Or more than half the league! Do you know how long it's been since that's been a real thing? We're legitimately a top ten team at the moment! Sure it's only week 3 and Buffalo started hot last year before fizzing out like a 10 year old can of Dr. Thunder!
But this year? This year is going to be different! Buffalo is going to one and done the playoffs this year! The sky's the limit, baby!
I'm still trying to figure out what incompletions have to do with YPA...
Just learn to hate yourself and you'll love to cheer for the Browns.

15 may be pushing it, but he could be here for the next 10 before riding off in the sunset with his 3-4 SB rings. Thank you for your kind wishes.

You mean the greatest superman movie?
only idiots calculate YPA without incompletions.
I thought someone of your intellect knew how to calculate YPA.
So do you just pretend Y/C doesn't exist?
Your point was that Mallet pushes the ball downfield while Gabbert doesn't. Incompletions have nothing to do with that argument. If we want to compare how vertical a QB plays, you need to look at incompletions.
Instead of bastardizing a very simple stat you'd probably be better served using AY/A or ANY/A,though those still don't give QB's a pass for all incompletions.
...that doesn't answer the question at all. You are hinging your argument on "this is what happens when you don't watch the actual game."
Going vertical doesn't mean a heck of a lot when you aren't successful in any area of the game.

Yeah, congrats on that. Buffalo only scored 33 points on the best team in the league. At least our fanbase isn't made up of a bunch of insecure little bandwagon jumping bitches.
well, actually, my first point was "this is what happens when you only look at stats and not the play"
Sorry, but you cannot sit there and tell me that Mallet isn't better than Gabbert. I saw him play at least 2 times a year for his very brief time in Jacksonville.
Great, their stats are similar. The difference being Gabbert looked fucking lost the vast majority of the time. Mallet does not.
No one in the Texans fan base is pretending he's great. He's been average at best, so far and there is hope for improvement. His two wins he's had greater than 60% completion percentage. His two losses he's had less than that.
We're not Yankeehater over here defending Sam fucking Bradford. I stated in that post Mallet needs to get better. Otherwise he's going to find himself in another QB competition next year with a first round draft pick.
he's better and looked better than brian hoyer, and that's really all I care about right now cause those are the only two options since Savage is on IR.
he was successful yesterday. And he was successful on third down, so there goes that argument of "not successful in any area of the game"

Yes sir, I have tickets for the special screening.
This is good advice, thank you friend. I hope you have measures in place to avoid watching as well since it's not that early on your end.
What would Ryan Mallet look like in Jacksonville?
Glad he has the most successful game in his career under his belt.
19-9 over the Bucs.

1) awesome.
2) If you are going to make a Superman movie. You start by watching this movie and give a detailed report. This should be the requirement before you even begin writing your script.

Yeah your fanbase is made up of drunks, jaded old fucks and soulless fucks.
lol, zero to a hundred real quick. Facts though.
I was going to bring it up last night. Only people still talking about deflated footballs are insecure Patriots fans.
