In that "9th" game Alex was 7 for 8 and a TD. Colin took over and lost the game.
We're really comparing 8 games to 8 games. Which dramatically changes the stats...Colin averaged about 20-30 yards more a game..and was not as efficient but had more big plays. His YPA was slightly better than Alex who was already doing quite well in that department. His running is what made Colin stand out..with that said, the rest of the team's running suffered for a while under Colin...then again, if Colin opens things up with his legs, who cares.
Colin is the better qb...but it's because of his legs..not his throwing. I really believe that Colin has what it takes to go to the HOF...Alex is a franchise QB and you're lucky to have him.
