Which QB would you want? (Statistically Speaking) Att. Cmp. % Yards Avg. TD Long Int. Rating Player A: 298 527 56.5 3787 7.2 29 78 19 82.5 Player B: 130 250 52.0 1529 6.1 5 56 10 60.9 Player C: 343 522 65.7 3472 6.7 22 56 22 81.0 Player D: 214 377 56.8 2547 6.8 11 58 12 74.0 Player E: 281 469 59.9 3301 7.0 17 65 15 80.1 I've seen a lot of talk about who our next QB should be. Just curious to see who everyone would want if they were basing things purely on stats. Most of these are the QBs that are mentioned as the possible starter for the '09 Jets.
Damn that's bad. I would hope that they are some intangibles with these players otherwise stat wise it doesn't look good. What were the circumstances with some of these QBs to have these stats?
I'll take Byron Leftwich. 24-22 Career record as a starter. Nothing flashy but thats with 3 seasons as a starter and in those seasons he has never started every game (injury risk maybe but he has a cheap option to try out in what will probably be a ball control offense). 54 career TD's to 38 INT's. He's a big guy who is hard to bring down and he has a big arm wich is a plus at the Meadowlands. This guy deserves a chance.
The problem with this is that Kellen Clemens played with an awful awful team and Brett Ratliff hasn't even played. I understand if we're looking at veterans, but considering 2 of the frontrunners have barely or not played at all, this is pretty irrelevant.
Player C: 343 522 65.7 3472 6.7 22 56 22 81.0 An average rating with the best completion percentage. the Int number could be contributed to many factures but the completion percentage is all QB.
The QB that has had more than just six months to be with his team, that's who, the stats can change really fast !!!
Anybody but C. Too many picks and too many December swoons. Plus those stats indicate he is too old, his teammates resent him, he makes too much money, and can't ever decide whether to play or not. And that arm injury is old.
I know pick D is from a guy who had a rookie as a starter and a 2nd year player with all but 7 catches in his rookie season. If that is what you had as starters, what kind of record you think the team would have?
Apparently, nobody thinks that player A had one great year, aided greatly by an outstanding WR and TE. I only saw him play a couple of times, but he seemed to just throw it up and get lucky when his guy always came down with it. Kind of like a NY QB I know, one who didn't look so hot when his throw it up target wasn't around the last couple weeks of the season.
You guys sometimes are too obsessed with stats, these #s don?t tell me anything without knowing, which System the guy was in, and how much Talent he had around him.
