VY's future vs others

[CharlieDontSurf]

If they held a draft for any team needing a QB I think it would go

1. Mike Vick(due more to the "he's amazing to watch" and $$$ factor)
2. Cutler
3. Vince Young
4. Leinert
5. Eli
6. Alex Smith

Passing DPAR:

Manning: 32.8
Smith: 16.8
Leinart: 9.3
Young: .1
Vick: -4.9

Passing DVOA:

Manning: 8.8%
Smith: .4%
Leinart: -3.4%
Young: -13%
Vick: -17.1%

I just pray that VY doesn't turn into another MV.

Watching Young play in the Jaguar game earlier this year was painful. I didn't get that feeling watching Leinert or Smith. I'll see if I get it when I watch Cutler. Young's throwing motion in the AFC South is killer. I don't know, it's to early to evaluate him but I think the Titans taking him at #3 was horrendous. They obviously don't due a very good job at BAP.

Manning/Leinart


btw to run the run and shoot you've got to be a frickin genius and very disciplined as a QB. Arm strength is less important than normal. Vick would be an utter disaster in a run and shoot system.

I think it's pretty hilarious that you

(a) assume everyone would know what these wacky acronyms stand for; and
(b) present these stats as a way of ranking the QBs, because obv. stats are the only thing that matters

[AncientPC]

Ditto. 6-10 games into a rookie's season isn't the best indication on how they'll play during their career.

a) Every serious football fan on this board (and there are a lot of them) know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Not everyone agrees with these metrics, but they know what they are.

b) Since when did I say I would take Eli Manning over the rest of them because he has better stats? I said I would take Leinart or Smith. Way to jump to (incorrect) conclusions.

Edit: I would take Leinart or Smith because they're younger and should improve more next year than Eli Manning. I have no idea about Cutler (never seen him play) so I'm reserving judement there.
