inkman Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Completion percentage means nothing for drafting a QB. You can look it up if you want, but it doesn't translate at all to NFL successI looked it up https://www.si.com/more-sports/2010/07/08/qb-rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I looked it up https://www.si.com/more-sports/2010/07/08/qb-rule "Here is the gist of it: If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level." :lol: "Since 1998, these are some of the NFL quarterbacks who aced all three parts of the Rule of 26-27-60: Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Stafford. Meanwhile, among the once highly-touted prospects who failed at least one part of the formula: Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, Michael Vick, Akili Smith, Tim Couch, Daunte Culpepper, David Carr, Vince Young and JaMarcus Russell." :lol: :lol: Edited January 22, 2018 by Jokertecken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Completion percentage means nothing for drafting a QB. You can look it up if you want, but it doesn't translate at all to NFL success Accuracy matters, but it's really not measured super well by completion percentage. So much is contextual based upon the offense and what types of throws QBs are asked to make. And I still go back to the notion that nobody has a damn clue how to evaluate QBs. Deshaun Watston doesn't have an NFL arm. Russell Wilson too short. Kyle Boller can throw from his knees though! Once upon a time the scouting community was split on Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. When it comes to projecting college QBs to the NFL, everyone is an idiot. I spent minutes googling that!! (I know you are referencing the link) :unsure: Hey I didn't write it Yea, sorry, see my edit.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 In other news, this super bowl will suck and I don't feel the need to watch, therfore I'll try not to.

Another shot had one of the refs going over to Bill Belichik and yukking it up. I hope this year's Super Bowl ratings are the lowest in recorded history. Maybe the league will instruct the refs to call fair games next season. On a side note, I definitely miss the replacement refs. They screwed the pooch on plenty of calls, but it felt like everyone got screwed equally and there was less of the MFT's nonsense.

Sure makes ya wonder ... in a down ratings year with lots of empty seats, who would the NFL rather see in the big game. Brady or Bortles ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
