The other thing here is I'm not sure how many of them had the number of starts Stafford will have after this year in 35, atleast the non redshirted guys, alot of them seem to have numbers like Leafs where they started 24 or in that range.

I'm in on Stafford. He doesn't look as frail as Croyle.

Mecca, was it ourlads or some other service that did the QB analysis and came up with # of starts and completion % as being the two most important attributes in forecasting success in the NFL?

The result is a system that accurately predicted that Peyton Manning would be great, and that Ryan Leaf would be a failure. It's been pretty accurate for the most part. If you pull up freshman and sophomore stats Stafford's are pretty right in line with Jay Cutler and Carson Palmer. |

I hope Georgia takes care of our QBoTF. Count me in on the Stafford bandwagon

He had a couple of big years, and the rest of his career could be best described as productive, but watching him, I just never thought he was anything to write home about. Quote:

If he was 6'3 or 6'4 he'd be talked about as a top 10 pick...of course if he was that tall he may not have ended up at Missouri or as a 3 star recruit either....but the fact remains no matter how good he is no amount of coaching can change that he's to short. |

We've been over this before: The biggest stat that correlates with NFL success is completion percentage.
This year, Sam Bradford has completed 79% of his passes, including against a tough Cinci D. Further, we will get to see him against: Kansas, Texas Tech, Texas, TCU and likely Missouri (Big 12 Championship). Other notable teams: K-State, A&M, and Oklahoma State. The big knock on Bradford to date has been his arm strength and velocity. However, he has actually improved over the last year in that regard. He will probably never be a gunslinger, like a Stafford. But he can put the ball 50-60 yards down the field with perfect accuracy. Also, since that second video that has you so concerned mecca, he has put on 8-10 pounds. That was just over a year ago. For those that are comparing Stafford to Palmer: Stafford isn't even close to as accurate. That is my really big knock on him. Nearly every time Stafford throws the ball, you know his receiver is going to have to adjust to it and won't get any YAC. I would much rather have someone with the pinpoint accuracy Bradford is displaying than a gunslinger. JMO. |
