Last 10 games: Phipps 0-2 Crespo, 7-0 bot formation 0-1 Last season I looked at this as well, and IIRC, Phipps was on something like a 5 game losing streak when starting for the National Team. So at this point I think we’ve lost the last 7 games he started. Not good… if you could keep crespo well into his 30s thatd be great for the both of us I think he'll be around for a couple more seasons at least. Phipps should be our emergency QB only at this point. I'm not sure what it is about him, but we tank anytime he starts for us.

Yeah, sorry about that, I wanted to see what he could do and I figured the game against Switzerland made the most sense, since they are the only team ahead of us. I'm kinda shocked he doesn't do better, that's puzzling. Will dial it back to Crespo, but I've liked him better from the beginning. I also went to 1 FB and loaded the receivers with 4 and as usual, that also met with worse results. Could be a combination, but I like the 3 receiver set at this level. Will try to get things straight next Friday

Yes, but please reference the completion percentage between him and the opposing QB. I expected a better showing there. Both teams scored at will, seems the GI engine was rolling boxcars on critical downs all day

53.8 % vs 62.7 %

I have to be honest, Phillps looks better on paper, but his results seem to either be really unlucky or just the game engine doesn't like something about him. The thing about Crespo is, he is either lights out or lights off and it appears Phillps is just on the wrong end of whatever score is going on. I wish Hunter was ready, but he's just not familiar enough with the playbook yetLast edited on 2015-11-30 at 4:29

I wish Hunter was ready, but he's just not familiar enough with the playbook yet I noticed the same thing last season. Phipps looks better on paper in pretty much every way that I look at a GI QB, but it just doesn't seem to translate on the field against World Cup competition. I kept hoping that I could figure out a clue about GI QBs from his and Crespo stats, but if there's something there, I just couldn't see it. Every time I thought I might have found something, I would find another player that pretty much blew that theory out of the water.

Yes, Phipps, I can't even get his name right.............I blame the alcohol

footwork?
