You made the case that Trubisky was “on par with Mahomes(using stats),” I believe an exact quote IIRC. Regardless of what assumed implications you were trying to make, that statement alone should embarrass you. Just admit it was silly to compare the two in any way and be on with it.

I didn’t say that, outside of discussing that five week stretch. My guess is you know it, too.

I made an argument about how silly it is to judge two guys who have played less than 20 NFL games each.  There are countless examples as to why. 

In that case, Mahomes turned out obviously better than Trubisky, and the simple point I was making is as valid as it was then - you seem to not be able to get it.

Wow. Relitigating the Trubitsky and Mahomes argument.

It’s exactly as stale and exactly as false as the “tempo loves Reggie Theus” meme, but it’s all he’s really got.

Even better....

That would be him in this case. The guy won’t fess up to the preposterous assertion that Trubisky was in any way “on par with Mahomes.” C’mon Spark, own ther stupid statement. Sure, we know what “the numbers,” said. And I told you you were being ridiculous. Well, how’s Trubisky looking compared to Mahomes now?

“Pretty much on par with Mahomes” is how I remember it.

PAMan, you gonna let Spark off the hook on that one? It was absurd to compare the two in any way at the time. And even more absurd now.

During those five weeks, yes.

To imply otherwise is just dishonesty.  And I know you hate when people do to you what you’re doing to me right now.

I do remember the Tampa game in which Tampa started 4 rookies in the secondary like 3 games into their careers. Trubiksy threw for like 500/6. But it “counted!”

While I remember the argument, and agreed in the premise that the two were never comparable, it seems to me that you have this one fully under control.

Noted though - next time someone says the Theus thing or says you’re a drunk, shitty dad I’ll let them have it.  You’re obviously not above lying about people to claim some kind of message board victory.

Wouldn’t want to “let you off the hook” for demanding Reggie Theus or being a drunk.

Spark seems to disagree.

Yep. And that game was totally representative of the player Trubisky was and is.

If you say so.  I certainly didn’t say that.
