Numbers like completion percentage and average yards per drive and such don't capture the imagination as much as "SUPER BOWL WINS" does, but which is a more fair indication of the skill of the quarterback? |

Re: Sports: NFL
If Lebron James wins 6 championships in his remaining years, do you think folks will legitimately be able to say he's as good as Jordan?
Jordan was an assassin in every one of the 6 championship series he was in and people remember that. Just like people will always remember James choking away his second chance at a title and coming up small in his first chance and putting that up against 6 for 6 just makes 6 for 8 less impressive. (Not that I think Lebron will end up with 6 titles, fwiw). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Like I said before, a QB's "legacy" in popular perception isn't a measure of his intrinsic greatness, or clutchness, or whatever, but is rather a mix of that and a bunch of random twists of fate. Quote:
Sure, I agree. There is this weird thing where people look at it the other way. People made a big deal about the Pats' postseason winning streak from 2001-2005, but they tended to gloss over the fact that the Pats actually missed the playoffs in the middle of that run. Isn't that worse than losing in the playoffs? |

Re: Sports: NFL
I'm not saying it's a completely fair way to look at things - just that it's likely how folks will look at them. Honestly, I wouldn't really have been that impressed with the victory had it happened because:
1) Brady didn't play all that well (don't know the stats, but I know what I saw when I watched the game - not that his receivers helped him any) 2) The AFC was a weak conference this year 3) The division the Patriots are in was weak this year 4) The Ravens would have been in the Superbowl instead had they been able to make a chip shot field goal 5) Tebow took out their worst match up in overtime and ended up being probably their best match up on paper (nice breaks all around there).

Re: Sports: NFL
My point is that winning hides a lot of warts that people start thinking about when you lose.

I guess the NFC does have multiple teams you could debate were better than the Patriots this season, (Giants, Packers, Saints, 49ers, am I missing anybody?) Most years, though, that's not really the case. -scorp |

As for the Super Bowl, I wasn't invested in either team, but I would've rather seen the Patriots win. I honestly can't stomach the Giants, and I respect how the Patriots have been a great team year in and year out. |
