You’re ignorant, you’re just ignorant

Kidding. Not you - sportswriters! (Via MJD at the FanHaus.)

All told, Rex sort of has a point here. The average sportswriter, as far as I know, doesn’t study much game film or prepare at the same level across a season of games the way an NFL quarterback has to, so there’s no doubt Rex sees things on film that looked like negatives to viewers but are, in actuality, positives, based on the specific play situation.

That said … Rex, it doesn’t take a lot of inquiry to realize you’ve been really good at some points this year and really bad at other points. That’s pretty much obvious to anyone with a passing interest in the NFL and/or the ability to understand the most remedial of statistics. Come off it, chap.

I think MJD’s point is the best here: Rex is just sick of it. And if some dude was analyzing every little blog post I made, or every single game wrap I put together, and picking apart the things that were constantly wrong with my writing - basically, if I was being told I was the worst sports blogger ever to, I don’t know, write something about the Super Bowl - well, I’d probably flip out just a little bit too.
