QB comparison for the Bills game

by KC FAN IN CA on Nov 19, 2008 1:45 PM CST

I figured I would put the spread sheet I made to some more use. The nice thing is after next week I can have a bigger sample size...

There are two spread sheets one is first five games as a starter the next is five recent starts. I know we are intelligent enought to realize Bones' stats are the same for both...

Some things I noticed

1 TD in 5 games....
Completion percentage over 65%
The margin of loss column is negative???...(see below)
I had to add a column for what are those things called... oh yeah wins (sarcasm)
Not a big runner he was 5/11yds over the five game span

Still holding a 65% completion ratio
Averaging better than 200 yds a game
He is good for two turnovers a game (avg over the last five starts)
QB rating at 72

Hopefully the defense can improve our total YPG average or the BIlls will end there four game skid.

oh yeah Edwards last five starts Edwards first five career starts and Bones (almost forgot to reference the stats, doh!!)

i think edwards is a better QB

but Thigpen has been playing better lately.

Naming my son Brodie Damon

possibly

but statistically Edwards best game in the last five was against SD the worst pass defense in league. If you can compare opponenents as a barometer against the Jets Bones played much better than Edwards with one more completion, 8 less yards and most importantly 3 less turnovers.

its certainly open for debate

both have looked real good and real bad

im not impressed with your performance

Yes it is...

but the sample size on bones is too big of a flaw to have an intelligent discussion. and the " Bones is a future HOFer" argument might have some holes in it :)

I do know that

over the last five games Bones has been hands down the better quarterback and statistically his first five starts were better than edwards less the important win column
