Quote from: TrueBlueFan on December 20, 2022, 05:19:14 PMIt was a decent drive, perhaps he deserves some credit not for that drive but maybe a few throws. But how did that drive end? Did he throw a TD or punch it in with his legs? I can't credit him an entire drive if he was not the one that sealed the deal at the end of it.
That drive was roughly half of his production the whole game. Coupled with 13 total points on offense, and none of those scoring plays involving him, what does that say about his performance every other drive and the game as a whole? Does he really deserve as much credit as you think he does?
If a 97 yard drive is just a decent drive I'd love to know what it takes for you to call a drive good.
And saying that the drive had something to do with the win is giving him too much credit?
I have to say that the notion that the only things a QB really deserves credit for is being part of the scoring play is unusual. So since he covered the last 3 yards on a TD run, does Barkley get the credit for the drive?
