Completion %
-
I admire Dorsey's approach - sit down and learn about who these qb's are, what makes them tick, are they a fit. He wants to talk to all of them.
Truth is, putting too much emphasis on one stat, one game, one weakness,whatever - clouds the legit appraisal of the qbs and their chances of being the right guy or not for your NFL team.

College. Pro
Dan Marino. 57.6. 59.4
John Elway. 62.1. 56.9
Josh Allen. 56.2
Just Saying
And in 2017, of the top 25 NFL Qbs in yards- only four had completions under 60% , one which was our own not-so loved Deshone Kizer. Dalton and Newton just missed at 59% Just sayin'. Pass completion% has gone way up in the last 20 years in the top qbs. Why I have almost no hope Kizer is ever going to be anything in the pros.

True....and once he does that he may come to the conclusion that Mason Rudolph is the legit thing.
(yes...I said this just to get Tour...and others to go have an epileptic fit)

Oh, good...let's compare QB's near 30 years ago in their prime to the modern NFL passer.
Might as Shmucking well take a RB #1 overall since we're doing Sheet based on things done that long ago.

That's how I know you haven't watched a damn bit of Mason. Kid might have a worse command than Allen does on pacing and placement of his throws.

I have actually watched a couple of his games....and overall thought he played very well. And if we are just looking at stats, completion % etc. here are his stats:

Excellent TD/Int. ratio. Not sure how these compare to other candidates...but on their own they are pretty fine stats. Of course....the ALWAYS caveat: He played against Big 12 defenses.
So...not perfect by any means. But, from what I saw visually...and what I see here...he stands up well enough.

Yes...this is based purely on these stats. No accounting for conference. No eye test....etc. Take it for what its worth.

Especially when that stat dies not support your case.
True....expecially when ALL the stats do not support your case. As I said above when summarizing Allen:
Worst Comp %. Worst YPA, Worst rating. Worst TD/Int ratio.
I had no dog in the fight....I just report these facts.
-
ha. I have noted Allen's lack of accuracy. The question is, how much is all on the qb? some of it has to do with the
defenses faced, the protection or lack thereof, the quality of wr's, availability of a very good pass catching TE, AND the type of offense played....the running game, and whatever else.
The accuracy may very well be coached/fixed to a point. You can NOT coach and fix a lifetime of being a spoiled asswipe turd like rosen, who has no leadership and would be a cancer in your lockerroom, a community divider, and a quitter when things get tough on the field. Little rosie would walk away whining, and blaming everything on his not having a hottub on the sideline. have a nice day.

Regarding Allen- there was some interesting stuff on a cleveland.com podcast. Guy went in pretty deep detail... Josh's lousy completion% was against IIRC collectively (don't quote me on the exact #) the #178th ranked NCAA passing defenses.
Regarding Rosen- seems you're using one factor (that can't even be quantitated) to disqualify a player...

So.....On this "Battle of the Stats" I surmise that they come down in the following order:
1. Mayfield
2. Rudolph
3. Darnold
4. Rosen
5. Jackson
6. Allen.
Yes...this is based purely on these stats. No accounting for conference. No eye test....etc. Take it for what its worth.
1. Mayfield-Multiple No Huddle offense..4 juniors/1 Soph. on OL..Spreads the ball around to multiple young WR's/TE's with 1 senior in Smallwood 2.Rudolph--Air Raid offense..3 seniors on OL at C,LT.RT deepest of group. TE's were all juniors..Rudolph also had the best senior based in WR Core with 3 in Washington,Ateman,Lacy
3. Darnold--Spread Offense..second weakest OL of group with 1 senior C,3 juniors with a freshman at LG.Fair WR core with Burnett leading way with 86 catches/1114 yards..RB Jones only caught 14 balls, so Darnold's not looking to dink down the field.
4. Rosen--Spread Offense..OL had Senior at C/LG.Junior at LT. Right side Freshman & Solpmore maybe weakest of group leading to concussion hits? Fair running game. Also Rosen could spread the ball around to young WR Core with one great Junior in Lashley with 69 catches for 1264 yards...
