In your scenario. Let's say Cutler has 3 fourth quarter comebacks. Brady only has 2. Rodgers has 1.

Cutler throws 25 TDs and 15 INTs. Brady 40 TDs and 10 INTs. Rodgers 37 TDs, 6 INTs.

Is Cutler better than both of them that year? of course not. That doesn't make sense.

What's their record that year?

So is there no bet then? If you don't wanna bet then just say so, idgaf.

Yards and TDs is the best way to measure and that's what I'm sticking to. Top 12 in yards and TDs.

Nope bc that's skewed based off scheme.

So, apparently this happened tonight? I'm glad that the upstanding citizenry of CCS had nothing better to do on a Saturday night.

Might I propose a compromise that has nothing to do with scheme? TD/turnover ratio. This is relatively "fair," is it not? If a QB is asked to throw X times, that will have absolutely nothing to do with the (Y/Z) ratio -- the quantitative relation between two amounts. I.E. it will not take into account number of passes vs totals of yards, TDs, INTs, or anything else. No pseudo-scientific bullshit stats (QBR is a joke), and eliminating the "but they pass less, weather, no dome, my ex texted her (wealthy) ex and I didn't like it" crap? Or are we then going to whine about the "supporting cast" (as though Brees and others have been working with nothing but studs on their units all these years)?

I'm still not sure why terms have to be conformed to a certain ideal of a "fair bet" anyways. No bet is ever fair. Go to Vegas, Monte Carlo, or Macau and whine about how "fair" the terms of a gamble are; especially if you're attempting to create a baseline related to abject homerism.

This thread sucks!

Can you please move all ban bet related postings to the appropriately titled "ban bet" thread? This thread is about pet peeves, and ironically, inconsistent shit modding by our shit tier mods is becoming a pet peeve of mine.

Johnny and desp, you're both Special person, shut the **** up.

The places offer drive thru. Customers can use it any way they want. If it gets slowed down, it's the procedure at the places you frequent that are to blame.

You are an immense idiot.

Honestly, I'm with Derpbro on this one. As a customer, it pisses me off. As a former fast food worker, it pissed me off because it clogs the drive thru like a mother ******. Some places don't have a designated area for large orders, and even when they do, it is difficult to get out the other orders first anyway so there's no point in putting said person in that area. There's only so much food that's already prepared.

What ticks me off more though is someone that goes through the drive thru, then sits there forever trying to figure out what to order.

That looks like a very average year from Cutler. I could care less how many 4th quarter comebacks he has, does not mean shit if he plays like shit for 3 qtrs.

Drivers that tailgate.

I had some visor wearing **** do this to me today as I pulled onto a road I take to get home. I got him back by by driving 35 on a one lane road that doesn't allow passing, that has a 45 mph speed limit. I also didn't signal when I turned. **** those guys.

Yeah but was it worth it? You got back home x amount of minutes later than you normally would just to teach someone on the road a lesson that you don't know and who you probably will never run into again.

It's the business's fault, not the customer's. If you are going to offer drive thru, and not clearly post that there is an item limit, and do not have a plan of operation to deal with it when it gets busy, then backed up lines are the business's fault, not the customer's.

Quit bitching at each other, and demand better service from the business you are ALL giving money.

And people taking too long to decide once their turn is up is not solely a drive thru problem.

Stop being lazy and ignorant. It's common sense, atleast it is to me. I'll go inside and order if I'm grabbing food for some people instead of sitting in a drive thru.
