Whilst Derek certainly has the market cornered on fancy charts, let is never be said that I've shied away from bending stats to flatter the Birds.

What's up with the fancy charts? Secondly, I think this game was kind of ironic for Jackson and the Yikes. I think his biggest problem was that he lacked the necessary experience to thrive in an intense playoff setting. As such, had the Yikes not benched him for most of the season he would likely have been much more prepared and capable of handling that situation. However, had they not benched him and continued to play the lousy football they were playing at the start of the season, they never would have been in that game. Bottom line (and not unlike Kolb) Jackson has the physical skills to be a quarterback in the NFL but he’s probably gonna have to suck for a while to gain the mental skills to do the job well. The problem is that they can’t really wait for him to come around. They are just going to have to hope he can pull it off on the run. The two extreme trajectories are Payton Manning and Patrick Ramsey. The good news is he’ll be a rich man either way. First off - has Derek taken over here? What’s up with the fancy charts?
