It's just not good company when you can only say you have a better team than 1 team that is better than .500

Which brings up the point. Hazard played a very weak schedule, had a good record, and took a 1st round exit in the playoffs. Olinger put up some great numbers, no doubt about that. What I'd really like to see are his numbers against the 5 playoff teams he faced and even more so the 3 teams on the schedule with winning records.

I'd like to see
Comp-Att Yards TDs INTs Sacks......Rushes-Yards TDs

in each of those 5 games and see how they compare relatively for what he did for the season. I think Olinger was a good QB, but much of his success came against teams that were of very poor quality making his good numbers look much better than his actual ability.
