Nobody is puffing their chests out, that's a weird thing to say. The only thing I said is that posts saying Ewers is a below average QB are moronic takes because they are.
And it's also pretty dumb to say he only takes heat because Manning is on the bench; David Ash took heat when Case McCoy was the other option. Ash was easily the only decent option when his brain wasn't scrambled. Message board morons always blame the QB when the offense sputters, well to be fair it's actually all simple football fans it's just that we're on a message board.
And yes, people did say they'd rather have any other playoff QB and that was before the playoffs even started so included those fantastic Jennings and Rourke performances. Just because you didn't say you'd rather have Allar or Leonard doesn't mean nobody did.
So basically you were wrong about everything in your post but at least you say it intelligently unlike others around here.
