Mikie2times Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I went on NFL.com and fired up Excel to look at the first 4 starts of NFL quarterbacks. Since the game log information only went back to 2000 I had to stay within that time frame, and if I missed some QB’s it wasn’t intentional. Group 1 is players I don’t think we want JP to be associated with, Group 2 are player we would like JP to become. JP Losman- 48% 433 Yards 1TD 2INT Group 1 Harrington - 54% 957 Yards 5TD 5INT Krenzel- 46% 603 Yards 3TD 5INT Boller- 53% 468 Yards 2TD 6INT Carr- 45% 519 Yards 4TD 6INT Grossman- 50% 664 Yards 2TD 3INT McNown- 61% 851 Yards 3TD 2INT Ramsey- 51% 858 Yards 6TD 4INT Dorsey- 55% 755 Yards 5TD 7INT Average- 52% 709Yards 3.75 TD 4.75 INT Group 2 Brees- 59% 608 Yards 4TD 2INT Brady- 61% 820 Yards 5TD 0INT Lefwhich- 56% 981 Yards 4TD 8INT E. Manning- 39% 450 Yards 1TD 6 INT Pennington- 77% 1005 Yards 6TD 2INT Big Ben- 71% 761 Yards 5TD 2INT Palmer- 55% 875 Yards 3 TD 7INT Average- 60% 785 Yards 4TD 3.86INT Out of all 15 QB’s JP is last in yards, tied for last in TD’s, and has a better completion % then only three other QB’s. JP is struggling badly, and it seems like its popular opinion for some to say this is normal, but his struggles surpass the normal ones a QB goes threw. I’m very troubled by all this but I do think we should stick out the year with JP at the helm. The rest of this team is not playoff ready, and to me it’s worth it to find out if he can turn things around ala Eli Manning. By the way Manning is also probably the only guy on the list that played worse then JP in his first four. It looks bleak but we still have hope.
