I’d say 90% of the rookie QBs have had better starts. His last 5 minutes of regulation were really good, the 55 minutes before that he stunk. He was 4-14 for 40 yards 55 minutes into the game. The only real positive he had in the first 55 minutes was no turn overs, he missed a lot of open receivers but always missed them to grass.

Yep. Everyone who sees the highlight package tonight and tomorrow will see what he did in the last four minutes and think that he played really well. They won't see any of the first 55 minutes, where he looked simply horrendous. Certainly he deserves credit for a great comeback at the end, but if Denver had been playing anyone except the Dolphins today they would have definitely lost.

As for statistics, to me they're kind of like bikinis. What they don't show is often as critical as what they reveal.
