re: Jarrett Lee and Matthew Stafford

First time posting here. I've seen this topic here a few times, and felt the need to add something to it.

quote:

Matthew Stafford had 7 TDs 13 ints and 12 sacks with 256 attempts his freshman year..Jarrett Lee had 13 TDs 16 ints and 8 sacks with 269 attempts his freshman year. FWIW JL had a slightly better completion percentage than Stafford, and if you take away the pick 6's their isnt much difference in the 2.

Stafford was a true freshman not a redshirt. Big difference. He arrived early but was co-3rd string through fall practice. He was thrown in the fire on the second game against South Carolina without the benefit of first team reps.

Stafford didn't throw any pick 6s his freshman year. In fact, he only threw two pick 6s the whole time he was UGA. One against UF in 2007 and another against GT in 2008.

If you want to point something out, at least do your research to support your claims. While its true Stafford was a true freshman that started school early like Shep did here, he struggled with ints. throughout the year. His last 2 games had an int in each (including the bowl game)

You need to do some research also. Stafford threw only one INT on his last three games. It was against Virginia Tech in the CFA Bowl, and VT had the #1 defense in the country. Stafford did not throw any INTs against AUB, who was ranked #5, or against GT.
