The past three years the Steelers have been close to 50-50 run pass, which is much different than Ben's first two years at QB. So ignoring his 2007 stats where he threw for 32 TDs, 11 INTs with a 65.3% completion rate and 104.1 rating, just because he made 60 fewer attempts that year, is gerrymandering on your part to support your slanted opinion of Ben.
Look, let me try to lay this out for you, again.
The initial premise was that teams have historically wanted him to throw.
I went to the data to point to the season where he threw the most passes.
He has 2 seasons where he's thrown the exact same number of passes as his highest pass totals. That's not me gerrymandering anything.
Those 2 seasons happen to be 2 of the past 3 seasons. Again, that's not me gerrymandering anything.
Those two seasons have resulted in the statistics I pointed out. That's not me gerrymandering anything either.
Whether you look at those seasons individually or together, the touchdown/int ratios and the passer ratings are still not good. That's not me gerrymandering anything. That's just the data.
You can try inserting the one year in between all you want. It doesn't have anything at all to do with the point I was making.
Furthermore, are you saying that one good year out of 3 makes him a quarterback developing into a Brady? Brady has never had a season throwing more picks than touchdowns, unlike Ben. Brady's lowest rating as a starter iis 85.7. Ben's been below that twice already, including a 75.4 season 3 years ago, and an 80.1 rating just this season.
Frankly, rather than tossing in a season that had nothing to do with the point I was making, you should have taken a look at the number of rushing touchdowns inside of 10 yards, or something along those lines to try to explain the numbers. I don't know if it would have helped the argument, but I doubt it could have been worse than "But this other season that WASN'T one where he threw the most passes!".
