I can't think of the specific examples this early in the morning but I know there's a handful of them. But I understand your point and agree(to a point) that it's valid to look at what a QB "should" have had on his stat line. I was all for starting Davis and am not against going back to him but both under the right circumstances.How many TDs where a receiver catches the pass 99% of the time has Sam had taken away? Quick's against Carolina stands out, but that would have been a 2 TD 1 INT performance, there's been drive killing drops which could have ended in a TD, but I can't remember many which that blatantly took away a TD and changed a game. Any way my point wasn't that Sam can or can't do it, my point was that 4 TDs and 1 INT is an excellent performance, you can't put a loss on a QB who is an awful drop away from doing that. Or maybe you can.
I'm not sure that a 2 game break would be enough to fix what was going wrong with Davis. After a very promising start, he faded very quickly and I'm not sure that what was going wrong is something he just needs to work on vs. something he's just not capable of.
Hill is what he is but that's serviceable. And knowing what there is to work with has value. Obviously, you don't want to put the game in his hands on a regular basis but he can put the team in a position to win and is relatively consistent with what he does. Nothing to write home about but I think consistency serves the team better than the wild extremes of how Davis was playing his last few games.
