re: Comparing LSU QBs: Mauck, Russell, Flynn, Lee, Jefferson

I just find it funny that a lot of fans put him on a pedestal above Russel. Russel led the team to a 10-2 record in 2006, had once of the best statistical seasons in LSU history, and lost on the road to eventual national champ Florida and on the road against 10-2 Auburn.

Flynn also led the team to a 10-2 record, but lost on the road to unranked Kentucky and at home to Arkansas who finished 8-5. It just so happens that to road to an SEC and national title was a little different that year.

There is no logical reason to think otherwise.

Jefferson clearly has the second best senior year.

---

he's thrown 70 passes and accounted for 8 TDs, most of them against scrub defenses.


his SR season was better than Flynn's, who led LSU to their best offensive season in school history?


Come on. I realize what you are trying to do, but have a little perspective here.

quote:

---

efferson's career is arguably the second best as well. #1 in YPC, #2 in Comp% and Int%, #3 in YPA.

---

#4 is QB rating. The most important stat.

Matt Mauck threw more TD passes and started 1 year and a few games.

Flynn threw 2 less TD passes and was a 1 year starter

Jefferon has started more games than any of those guys, I'd almost bet. He should be be killing all of those numbers based on how many games he has started, esp when being compared to Lee, Mauck, and Flynn.

just complete your selective stats, here are starts by each.

Jefferson 30 starts
Russell 29 starts
Mauck 20 starts
Lee 17 starts
Flynn 14 starts

Dear Lester:

I know you play intentionally stupid a lot of the time. Everyone knows it. It's your schtick.

I realize that you are playing stupid with this post. It's okay because everyone else sees it too.

I didn't grade the QBs based upon cumumlative stats like most yards rushing, most yards passing, or most TDs.

I graded them on averages and percentages.

Jefferson's career is arguably the second best as well. #1 in YPC, #2 in Comp% and Int%, #3 in YPA.

Mauck had an excellent career as well. He might have had the second best career. It's arguable.

JJ hasn't had enough snaps or played enough this year to put him above those who played a complete season.

exactly. way too small of a sample for JJ to judge everything

I still laugh at anyone who blames the 2006 auburn loss on ANYONE besides jimbo fisher and les miles

And the UF game was a complete team loss. Everyone remembers the 3 picks, but everyone forgets that 2 of them hit Dwayne Bowe in the hands/chest, and early doucet muffed the 2nd half kickoff.

#1 in YPC

i hope that we can all agree that none of the QBs in this discussion were good enough runners to really use this variable

and laron got tebow'd

no. i mean the TD pass when laron bit on the fake run

yet you just so happened to leave out QB rating when you made your final assessments. Makes sense.

I remember Flynn being better in 2007 than his stats show

He also played that year gimped for at least a few games.

Regardless of their college careers, it's pretty obvious now that MF is the best of the group. He's actually getting starting QB interest from teams that don't have Rodgers.
