NFL Week One is the Loneliest Number

The other evening I found myself sitting next to a guy wearing a Steelers shirt. He told me that Pittsburgh would be the surprise team in the AFC this year. I told him that any team with Mitch Trubisky as a starting qb wouldn’t be going anywhere. His argument was that Trubisky wasn’t as bad as his reputation, and that his stats proved it. I pointed out that, in the 50 games he has started, he’s thrown 64 TD passes but has also thrown 38 picks. The counter-argument was that those numbers aren’t that bad.

At that point, I closed the thread.
