The Atlanta Braves Thread (Javy Lopez Edition)

[zjcvols]

He's still got 24 4th quarter comebacks in his career. Tied for 11th all time. In only 9 seasons. Yes, a good defense keeps them in striking range, but he still makes the plays he needs to make.

Arbitrary number. If you are down 3 and score a TD in the first play on the 4th, that is considered a comeback.

If any of y'all are going to the Western game this weekend, let me know and I'll I'll rock my free hugs tshirt

 

[LotteryPick]

This Manning guy came out of nowhere.

Matt Ryan has 16 in only 5 seasons. 23 game winning drives. IS HE EVEN MORE CLUTCH THAN ELI????

Maybe? Where did Matt Ryan come into this? I like Matt Ryan.

 

[Vercingetorix]

"Clutch" is a myth. There are guys who choke in the big moment, yes. There is nobody who actually gets better. Anyone who thinks differently needs to look up Derek Jeter's career stats in the ALCS.

I guess Peyton's neck is ok.

In every sport it's a myth, especially baseball .

I'd take Eli over Ryan.

Trying to talk the wife into an anniversary weekend in Charlotte first weekend in November, including Panthers vs. Falcons.

I would too. But i still like Ryan

 

[Vercingetorix]

I'd only take Eli over Matt Ryan if I get to have the defense he used to have too. I wouldn't swap them straight up.

Marlon Brown dropping passes like he's still at UGA.

Haters gonna hate.

Yo dbake I'm in pickwick pines swervin

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Id take newton and romo over Stafford and Flacco. Though I will say Stafford has never had a run game.

Run game? Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees think those are for losers...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

If Stafford had Ray Rice and that O-Line, the Ravens would have won 12 games last year.

But the Ravens did have Flacco, that O-Line, and Ray Rice and they won the Super Bowl.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Bradshaw threw as many int's as he did TD's.

Football is the one sport where the sum is greater than its part. If Flacco got drafted by Tampa Bay or Arizona, he isn't even mentioned as a good QB.

You could say that about a lot of guys.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I would venture to say yes. I mean instead if Norv Turner, Rivers gets Tom Coughlin.

Rivers problem is Rivers. Not sure any coach would have much influence.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Eli Manning should give half his contract to David Tyree the same way Joe Flacco should half his with Rahim Moore.

:no:

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Rivers wouldn't lead them back in the games, he'd be yelling at teammates and fans and losing his cool. Eli has ice water in his veins.

:yes:

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Yeah because 1 play doesn't make him clutch

:good!:

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Eli has spent his whole career playing on teams with good to great defenses. His job has never been any more than "deliver the ball and don't fsck it up." He's no more some cold-blooded assassin than Joe Flacco is.

Using your logic there are really no good players. All are simply a product of the team around them right?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Matt Ryan has 16 in only 5 seasons. 23 game winning drives. IS HE EVEN MORE CLUTCH THAN ELI????

No.

0 rings.

Not impressed.

However, let it be known that I love me some Matt Ryan but, he needs to win the big one...

:crazy:

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Welp, my time is here done.

Peace.
