The spotlight is very bright....

I have had a rough time this last week with personal opinion. Social media, freedom of speech and a computer to hide behind has made it so easy for people to say whatever they want and feel no remorse. Although it happens everyday to almost anyone who makes the choice to open up their lives on social media, it is really hard to have it happen to your husband. I have learned that stats don't matter, people love to hate the back ups and sports writers too express their biased opinion unrelated to the actual facts from the game. So I would like to share my personal biased opinion based on mostly facts, with some heart mixed in!
 My rant continues because no one likes to see the facts and no one really cares unless you win but, if you do here they are.... In the three games Matt has played this year he threw for 714 yards with 4 TD, rushed for 22 yards with a TD, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. Our defense gave up 1,207 yards and 96 points, in the consecutive 7 games before they hadn't given up but 115 points and held their offense to 1,973 yards! Yes it doesn't matter but I just thought I would share. Yea Matt is 0-4 as a starter with all being against the Calgary but how quickly the Eskimos nation forgets a 4-14 season. True it's easy to say Matt's injury held him back, we would have won with Mike and #1QB is #1 and #2 QB is #2 for a reason but if facts hold true then none of this is valid, it's just opinion. We will never honestly know who would have won the QB battle last year because Matt tore his ACL maybe it would have gone different but any QB that is judged after 5 games is not fair. Just look around the league and think to yourself aren't we pretty lucky to have the backup we have? I'm not discrediting Mike either I believe he is good quarterback, he had his learning year and he is a fearless quarterback with a city behind him. This is his team and no one will take that away from him keep winning, get a to the Grey Cup and stay healthy maybe he can eventually climb out of the huge Ricky Ray shadow that still lingers.
