re: Anthony Jennings QB Comparison

quote:

---

Yes, he just chunks it up there and watches to see who can get to it first...

---

C'mon man.

quote:

---

has no arm strength at all

---

And yet, somehow he was selected as an Elite 11 QB, and everyone praises him for his longball.

quote:

---

very little pocket presence

---

That's exactly what LSU fans said about Mett in his first year as a starter.

quote:

---

has the athletic ability of JJ

---

Good for Jennings. JJ outperformed every QB except RG3 QB at the 2012 NFL Combine. You'd rather Jennings have the athletic ability of Mett?

quote:

---

Skewed by many less attempts. Also an irrelevant stat. TD/game is all that matters.

---

Mett had 12 TDs in 13 games. 92%
Jennings has 6 TDs in 6 games. 100%

quote:

---

Barley. Had he not been pulled in the NMSU game, Mett would likely be ahead.

---

Barley, no Corn. So you're going to rely on an IF . . . Nice.

quote:

Jennings' YPA is better.

---

Skewed by many less attempts.

---

Skewed by less attempts. It's a "Per Attempt" stat. The whole point is to measure "Per Attempt."

---

quote:

---

Jennings' passer rating is better.

---

Because of one INT.

---

First, the difference is more than one INT.

Second, it's kinda important for QBs to NOT throw INTs. One INT can make a big difference. Ask Jeff Driskel and Rickey Jefferson.

I'd much prefer AJ mirror Mett than JJ.

---

The question was about athletic ability.

Try to focus on the issue at hand.

So you would rather that Jennings and Harris have the athletic ability of Mett rather than Jefferson?

If so, this is where the three ROTFLMAO emoticons belong.

Is this astat people actually use? Like really?

Like really?

Like really?

TD/Game does not mean shite to me. However, this is what YOU said:

quote:

---

TD/game is all that matters.

---

YOU said that stat is all that matters. Now you say:

quote:

---

Is this astat people actually use? Like really?

---

I don't care about the stat, but you think it's all that matters. Well, it's better for Jennings than Mett.

quote:

---

I should have been more specific. It is heavily skewed because of 3 passes that went 80+ yards, coupled with AJ's many less attempts.

---

Ohhhhh, you want to ignore Jennings' best plays. As though Mett didn't have any long passers. Got it, champ! Let's ignore Jennings' best plays.

quote:

---

Well, let's look at the team record then and see how important that extra INT was.

ZM: 6-1 (2-1)
AJ: 5-2 (1-2)

I think I'll take the extra INT.

---

First, you want to tell me why Jennings gets the Auburn loss? Second, most rational folks wouldn't say that W/L is NOT dispositive of QB quality or vice versa. There are too many confounding factors to consider, like OL and defense.

quote:

---

Like really?

Like really?

---

Yes, I have never seen TD/game as a percentage. You're the first to use it, and you're not even doing it right. You use full season stats to lower ZM's numbers when convenient.

quote:

---

I don't care about the stat, but you think it's all that matters. Well, it's better for Jennings than Mett.

---

It's not at this point in the season. The way you use it is why I asked who uses that stat. No one lists a percentage for that.

quote:

---

Ohhhhh, you want to ignore Jennings' best plays. As though Mett didn't have any long passers. Got it, champ! Let's ignore Jennings' best plays.

---

I don't want to ignore it, I just said it is skewed. Can you brain not process that?

quote:

---

First, you want to tell me why Jennings gets the Auburn loss?

---

The same reason he gets the NMSU win.

Second, most rational folks wouldn't say that W/L is dispositive of QB quality or vice versa. There are too many confounding factors to consider, like OL and defense.

---

Results are all that matter last I checked.

Reminds me of Marcus Randall, but Marcus Randall at least ran like a hoss.

quote:

---

Well, nearly all of Jennings' passing numbers during his first year as a starter are better than Mett's passing numbers after his first year as a starter.

Mett got a lot better.

No reason to think Jennings won't get a lot better.

---

I was thinking the same thing.

Some of these same folks SKEWERED Mettenberger his first year as a starter because he wasn't the "Mettsiah" they all thought he'd be in his first year.

Neither of our two QBs have impressed at this point. Why not just allow them to get experience and improve. I have complete faith that Cameron can get BOTH of them to be good, maybe even great, quarterbacks. But right now, both are gonna take their lumps. The team did look better this week however, when compared to the Auburn and MSU games.

quote:

---

And with posters like LNCHBOX, you really have to wonder why I would ever overestimate the board's intelligence.

---

Your OP wasn't lost on me. Nice try though.

He reminds me of Marcus Randall to be honest. Won't wow you, but will get wins.

quote:

---

He's terrible at throwing across the middle and stepping up in the pocket right now.

---

I don't think they've let him pass anywhere other than the sidelines for this reason.
