DH13 posted:But you DO because teams are typically playing better toward the end of the season, i.e. there are always teams in contention for division and playoff spots. Those teams are usually ascending or peaking and the QB's usually playing better. Sometimes you'll get a cakewalk through December but that hasn't typically been the case in GB.
You don't think Cousins/MIN will be playing better the next time we see them than the first time?
You can’t seriously believe this, can you? A shitty QB is usually a shitty QB throughout a season.
Trent Dilfer won a SB. I doubt he was any better in the latter half of the season than the first half. Cousins will probably play better against the Packers in game 2 because it’s in Minnesota, not because it’s later in the season. Stafford is gonna be less prone to throw picks in the second half of the season? Trubisky has sucked because it’s early in the season? Jameis will be better in the second 8 games. The dregs in the AFC East will suddenly become good?
Sure, most QBs in the playoffs tend to perform better (in general) than other QBs, but below average QBs tend to be below average throughout a season, save a game here or there. That’s why they’re below average.
