Look up Stafford's record against teams with winning records.

Look up how many winning record teams the Patriots have played this year (at the time of their games). It's 9 (counting post season). 3 of those teams job to the Patriots anyway and one of those is the Buccaneers. I think Stafford's safe to beat them AND not job to Dolphins/Chiefs like Brady did. He'd still lose 3 other games and lose against the Titans in playoffs because Stafford, but yeah.

yeah and Nick Foles had a passer rating of 119 in 10 games in 2013

it's just not a large enough sample size

It's large enough to see what he could do. Brock Osweiler was heavily criticized as someone who couldn't read opposition defenses, which is where a lot of mistakes came in. He at least had DeAndre Hopkins to bail him out a lot more. Watson had two, Hopkins and Fuller, as well as an okay TE that he utilized well. Fuller started out okay last year but fell apart after a Hamstring, and similarly did not do well post Watson's injury. Clearly it's just Watson knew what to do with Fuller. On the Hopkins side... Hopkins was the WR who drew the most DPI calls this season. This takes a lot of trust out of his QB to throw to him in that 1v1 coverage. Sure, that answers him having a fantastic WR and isn't exactly the same as throwing to Cooks, Amendola, and White... but that's not a bad WR core to have. He also does not have a big name TE or really one at RB. The former was CJ Fiedorowicz and the former was between D'onta Foreman and Lamar Miller. Imagine having the best TE in the NFL and a top 10 RB, instead of what he had.

There's easy correlation to say that he'd do better, and with a weaker team he showed he could perform better than Brady. He just ended up injured because of that worse team.

Watson

wtf this dude played like 3 games >_>

7, and had a passer rating of 103 as a Rookie, with a team that... literally was shut out at home the last time they were in playoffs. He's a QB that shined where... well, they had a lot of trouble with QBs before.

Also, there's like 6 quarterbacks who'd be better than Brady if they had the lack of pressure that he has.

This is what crybabies actually believe.

HA, no.

Rodgers, Brees, Watson, Wilson, Wentz, and Stafford are who I'd count as the 6. Wilson had a bad season behind literally the most penalized team in the league, imagine having one of the least penalized instead, especially behind an offensive line that didn't have its coach fired already.

They blew the whistle way too fast on the Jack fumble that could have easily went for a touchdown instead.

He was on the ground when he fought for the ball and in contact with Lewis, he was down then.

Nevermind on my side here. When he wrestled the ball loose, it never entered a dead ball state. His recovery, as shown in slow motion on that replay, he was on the ground, but not in contact with Lewis. They could not overturn that part anyway because it was fast-paced. Not a biased whistle, but yes, a wrong call that denied a TD.

Pushed the receiver out of bounds, that's an easy PI, had he not put his hands on the WR, it would have been uncatchable.

I'm probably wrong (or maybe it's a college rule only or something) but I thought the ball had to be catchable in order for it to be PI.

Not in NFL, if you fully interfere with the receiver, it's PI.

A lot of holds on defense too--none of which were called, because it's the Patriots and the Jags. The key to beating Brady is keeping pressure on him. If you can hold like the Patriots did, having an offense like that is easy.

Show me examples. I didn't really notice them.

#74. Megatona Furioso
Game: Guilty Gear XX#R
Character: Potemkin



Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 5.5

Honestly, this song goes into that bucket where it sounds like I don't like hard rock, but it's less that case... I don't like that this song doesn't really have a melody. It begins, starts setting up, and sounds cool when doing so... but then stays setting up. It's not a true song at this point, but that's all that exists for the rest of the 3 minute song... set-up. It's average.

Wait, wait. I might have this character rating too high. IF HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY REPLACEMENT FOR TALIM... FUCK YOU NAMCO. Just kind of hate how they have this time pass through the series, so they end up changing up all the female characters except Ivy. I hate Ivy. This is the one time I'm going to reference how I feel about someone other than a character in this ranking... maybe. Anyway, the song starts off nice, it's a nice melody... but... then it disappears. It's kind of just like walking across plains. Oh look, a tree. Oh look all this grass. Oh look a mountain in the distance... Fuck, there's nothing more to look at. Well, this is boring.

Of what little I witnessed in Skullgirls, Peacock was an odd character... kind of like Harley Quinn if you threw her into a genre where all characters were that kind of wacky. Her song represents her just being this sort of goofy toolbox, but is also jazz. I don't often have an interest in jazz. The end.

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 5.5

The characters I don't know on my average song tier begins... Well, don't know like... more than the name I should say. Listening to the song the first time, I was working on another task and suddenly heard another song pop up, which instantly made me rate this a 6 since I basically forgot it existed in the background. Listening to it this time, I think it deserves this 6 rating. It's kind of a cool song, but doesn't do that much to the melody. It plays the same melody for like the entire second half... not that interesting of a song, but it's not bad either. Perfectly represents average.

#78. Lance's Champion Theme
Game: Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver
Character: Lance

Nominator: scarletspeed7

Song Rating: 6
Character Rating: 5

To start on the song... Yeah, far from the worst Pokemon battle song and honestly it's probably my second favorite Champion theme. But it's only average past that, it has a really excellent beginning to it but then is just normal for the rest, kind of the perfect explanation to the first time you see that Lance has risen to champion. Originally the last member of the Elite 4, he rose after Red decided to leave the position and Blue didn't accept to return, believing himself to be inferior. So it's just like "whoa it's you" then the battle goes. It doesn't have some of the glory some of the other Pokemon songs have, though. Some normal battle themes are just better than his theme.

Character rating may seem low, and Scar would understand if we got that far when we ranked Pokemon gym leaders/E4 and stuff, but we didn't as I saw it really wasn't a subject for him and I... Pokemon Lore is kind of interesting. Not the Pokedex entries, but like everything you can grasp from characters. Gym Leaders are type specific, and Elite 4 are a step above... I don't remember where, but I remember one thing told us that Elite 4 are supposed to be Type Masters. Basically Pokemon Masters of each type, while the Champion is meant to be a Pokemon Master. Where am I going with this? Lance is a master of Dragonites. All kidding aside, he's Dragon/Flying. Uses other Flying types to cover the weaknesses of his Dragons. This fact is why he was easily defeated twice in a row by rookie trainers who got stronger rivaling each other... He's far from the worst Champion, I like him more than two others, but... I don't like him as a Champion. I get why he's there, just don't agree with the spot. Sorry for long and weird write-up... but I wanted the full thing out there.

#79. Guile's Theme
Game: Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Character: Guile


Nominator: WhiteLens

Song Rating: 5
Character Rating: 7

While it does go with everything... only the first minute and a half end up being listen-able. After it stops with the main melodies... it just... turns ridiculously dull and drops all great impact of the song. This song ends up here because simply... it's a song with two problems. Sound system limitations, and a giant boring chunk of the song. It's pretty great if it ended after the main melody, but it didn't. Now with my new highest rating for a character, we reach a bit more out of what's normally said. I never have played a Street Fighter, 7 is simply my go to score for "ya know, I don't know the character fully, but I know I like 'em." In this case, I just love how they tend to represent America in random video games, they'll typically be in the military and blond. And shit, Guile has tattoos of American Flags on his arms. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE AMERICAN! Ahaha~ I'd love to play him just once, not likely to be my main but it'd be fun.

#80. Terra's Theme
Game: Final Fantasy VI
Character: Terra Branford


Nominator: Anagram

Song Rating: 5
Character Rating: 6

As the original opening to Final Fantasy VI, as you started the game... it was lovely. But it lasts that intro cutscene in length while you're immersing yourself into a new game. When outside of it... it doesn't hold the same kind of nostalgic feel that some songs can have. It's fairly boring, as it plays the little flute melody for a while, then just has a rising tune that doesn't... do much. Yup, boring, just like the character it represents. Considering I literally argued that a show sucks because the main heroine is too much like Terra, I think you can realize just how I feel about her. She's not a bad character, just a bad lead, and not worth that much screentime since she's bland.

#81. Lord Laharl's Hymn
Game: Disgaea
Character: Laharl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tnF_QGXLmo&;
Nominator: Pirateking2000

Song Rating: 5
Character Rating: 5.5

Honestly, this can be wrapped up as simply welcome back to the comments of me disliking vocals in video game music typically. It's okay, but ultimately not having the Disgaea experience limits this song from moving highly. This is definitely my favorite song within the 5s, and ends up only lower than characters I know and don't dislike, who will take up the next few rankings... but here we close out on bottom 20. Oh, I want to say this, knowing what Laharl is like makes this song fit very well, but... as said, I'm limited on it hitting any sort of nostalgia, which could have bumped it. Maybe someday.

Wait... Did I only JUST notice that it's actually the theme to all of the Battle Frontier and thus shouldn't have been eligible here? LOL WHOOPS... Still doing it for Palmer alone, he's in the thumbnail afterall. Actually, wish I realized who he was too... would have bumped him down for raising one of the worst characters in Pokemon. Oh yeah, the song itself is really stupid compared to most Pokemon songs. It's wild and all over the place, and doesn't have any sort of meaning to anything it's doing. It has these catchy moments, and definitely has the feel of a Pokemon battle theme... but outside of that, it's a song I'd turn off and just do the battles.

Probably another song I was a little more harsh on, but at the same time... it's kind of dull despite being rock anyway. It sits there in a "I'm a bad boy" kind of theme like that's the only thing that's necessary. And sure, it fits the scheme... but it makes for a boring melody if that's all its meant to convey. Sure, fighting game song so it makes sense that it's a bit one-dimensional, but... not in my taste.

Character Rating 5.5

I tried my hardest to not be biased, leaving his character rating as the simple "I don't know the character" rating you see quite often and all over the place... but the song suffered from it anyway. First, I was just listening and it reminded me of Mog's Theme from FFVI, and then began my hissy fit about how unoriginal that is and blah blah grumpy about SMFFFC from the previous year... so I never recovered during the rest of the song. It left me with discomfort... so at 5 it goes.
