re: Rewatching the Fiesta Bowl - Thoughts on Burrow.

You could put Franks, Mond, and Burrow in one of the those lottery ball popping machines. There isn't much difference in their rate production:

QB A: 57.8%, 7.6 YPA, 133.21 RAT
QB B: 58.4%, 7.6 YPA. 143.34 RAT
QB C: 57.3%, 7.5 YPA, 134.98 RAT

...and they all averaged 3.2 yards per carry rushing. There's not much separating the group, statistically. Yet Mond is the one getting tons of hype, and I don't see how he's any different save a year younger.

And before we play the quality of comp card, let's use their SEC stats only:

QB A: 57.6%, 7.0 YPA, 123.72 RAT
QB B: 56.0%, 6.9 YPA, 124.69 RAT
QB C: 56.1% 7.0 YPA, 126.57 RAT

The numbers go slightly down, of course, as they don't get to pad their numbers against Directional State, but they all have essentially the same yards/att and a QB Rating within 3 points of each other. And QB A has a slight advantage in accuracy.

If you're curious, the quarterbacks were in alphabetical order: QB A is Burrow, QB B is Franks, and QB C is Mond.
