Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

The QB controversy talk should end now.

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

He's serviceable.

I like him as a back up all things considered.

He's everything you want in a backup.

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

He's a scrappy dude who can make all the throws which is more than we can say about the guy who was supposed to be the franchise savior. Still doesn't mean he's good enough as he has serious ball security issues.

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

He can make all the throws?

Since when?

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

He was, at best, a 4th string QB in TC..
He's making his 3rd or 4th start in the NFL;
He didn't have his speed back,
His No. 1 WR was limping throughout the game;
He was rocked several times at the start of the game.
One fumble was caused by a helmet to the ball, a hit in which many RB's are known to fumble;
One fumble was caused by a pussified block by Scott Chandler;
He had a TD taken away because a hold by the aforementioned Chandler.

And he kept coming back.

I'm not saying to build a franchise around the guy...I just find it hard to hate on him.

Scott Chandler did more damage to the O than Lewis did today.

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

He is so inconsistent. Shows some great resilience to some grueling hits but his pass is all over the place.

The Cincy game should have been proof enough of that. He made throws in that game that Manuel hasn't even come close to making. That doesn't even include the TD pass today he made to Stevie Johnson early on.

You can hate on the floaters, the overthrows but we saw Manuel doing that consistently the first few games.

Difference between Manuel and Lewis? Lewis can actually complete those throws from time to time which is better than the savior who completes them never.

Re: Thad Lewis for Governor threads

Manuel is a rookie that we all knew was a developmental prospect during an off year for QBs with a high ceiling.

Just stop with all the hate. He is ahead of schedule.

If we finish bottom 5 I'm not against drafting a QB though.

Never?

OK - have you made your mind up on him that much that you are only going to look at the mistakes he has made and not pay any attention to the good plays?

Lewis also throws a lot more passes that are complete crap than Manuel has

I, for one, am not hating on him.

But I also see his limitations and am watching fans fall in love with a guy with a very limited ceiling.

Chandler made his mistakes (although lets not pretend he should be in that position as his blocking skills are limited to start with)

You're argument is weak and contridicting. You can't have it one way in one post for Lewis then turn around and use it to your benefit in an arguement agaist EJ.

Lewis is a back-up plain and simple. And that's Ok. It really is. He has already done far more than anyone could have dreamed. Let the arguement die. EJ starts when he's back and he will probably get 3 years to prove himself.

Lewis completion percentage 60.1% Manuel 56.7%

People keep talking about Manuel having this infinite ceiling and that he has all sorts of potential and he's a rookie. Fact of the matter is, still as of right now, Manuel has started more NFL games than Thad Lewis. Yet Lewis has no ceiling and no potential.

The only thing Manuel has been better at so far is ball security but he's fumbled 3 times too and thrown 3 INTs.
