Quote:If his career as a starter ended today he would sit at 28 Games Played, 53.3% Completion Rate (414/777), 156 YPG, 22 TDs, 24 INTs, 4,357 total yards, 66.4 QBR, and 5.6 YPA. 

 

What do you guys think?

 

I'd still rank guys like JaMarcus Russel and Ryan Leaf in front of him. Tim Couch as well. I don't think he's a big as a bust as people are trying to make him out to be. Not trying to make excuses for the kid's bad play, but, let's be honest, it's not like he was a #1 overall selection. He clearly needed time to sit and learn and develop after being just 20 years old when he was selected with the 10th overall pick. He was the selection of Gene Smith, who has proven now that he CLEARLY didn't know what he was doing at the helm of the GM position of this front office. And the kid has gone thru 2 owners, 3 headcoaches, and 3 different systems. Plus, the contracts aren't what they used to be. Factor in Ponder's recent flop, and potentially Cam Newton here soon, that entire first round QB class of 2010 has been a HUGE dissapointment so far. Locker might save face. We'll see.

 

I'd have to do some homework. But for sure, I'd put guys like Russel, Leaf and Couch in front of him at this point in time. And I could probably find maybe two or three more QB's to put in front of him as well if I dug up some research.
