Do whatever you want. I’m standing by the 70% winning percentage.

What was not to like was not being able to go deep into the playoffs with an elite defense because our QB sucked ass.

Um... I am not sure that's the best metric.

The only QBs with higher winning percentages than Fluitie when he was with Buffalo are Brady, Montana, Staubach, Lamonica, and Otto Graham.

[maryland-bills-fan]

If I had to pick one it would be total yards. But the ranking of the opponents would be a factor to modify it.

My main criteria is accuracy.  If you're not accurate, why are you under center?  I'm hoping AJ is accurate.

The year prior to Rosen, UCLA was 10 - 3.

 

During the Rosen years UCLA was 8 - 5, 4 - 8 and 6 - 7.

 

Expand  

 

My biggest concerns with Rosen are toughness, tends to back pedal in the face of pressure, and has trouble with velocity when moved off platform. If we draft him we will need to get him a good oline because I don’t trust his mobility.

interception percentage. Brady, Rogers, Wilson, Ryan etc are all career top 10

my namesake says Hi.

Completion percentage - and by that, I mean 67% is base minimum. If you are completing that many passes, all the other numbers fall into place.

This is tough, as there isn't just 1 trait that makes a good QB.

 

Accuracy has to be the most important trait.  Chad Penningron and his noodle arm had a productive career based mostly on him being an accurate passer.

Expand  

I will go one further. Since we are limited to one thing I go with:

 

Arm talent: IE accurate and strong.

 

See what I did there? .......lol

If he can't get a 10 for a girlfriend or wife then he sucks.  At least a 9.5.

I would give McCarron a 10 for that one, although maybe I have to take point off since his wife went to Auburn.

Eye speed.

 

Closely followed by eye discipline.

I"m tempted to ask how one measures these "metrics" but I'll lay it right out front I don't want to see a picture of some sort of leather BDSM eye restraint device.

[blacklabel]

Accuracy, throwing receivers open, making tight-window throws, reading defenses, working through progressions, the willingness to take some risks in order to allow his teammates to make a play. 

[Dadonkadonk]

Wins

YPA

INT%

TD/INT ratio

 

Wins and YPA are as much abput the entire offense as it is juat about the QB. YPA can be attributed to a good OL, WR YAC, succesaful play action because of good running game, and the offense not always being in must pass situations.

 

4th qtr comebacks are interesting.  By definition it means the team was behind. Does the QB assume no blame for being behind after 3 qtrs but credit for a comeback?

 

[Not at the table Karlos]

Ball placement I guess. They need to hit receiver in stride to maximize YAC

That's a bad game for sure. But literally no QB has a rating that low over any sustained period. The worst for the season last year was Kizer with a 60.5

Expand  

I agree.  QBs have a bad game or 2 over 17 weeks (16 games)

 

W/o looking it up again we saw what 3 games with a QB rating under 50 in a 5? game stretch and then the playoff game of under 36 (ish)

3rd down completion percentage and touchdown drives.

Completion or total 3rd down conversion?

 

we saw a decent completion % passing but it wasn’t leading to points.  

 

 

 

[Jay_Fixit]

I’d assume performance metric means “statistic” so I’d probably go with TD passes.

 

But the most important thing to possess is accuracy (along with anticipation, ability to read the defense).
