Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just to let you know, I first tried objectively ranking the top 10 performances by Skins QBs since our last Super Bowl (last 20 years), but a few too many were just close enough together that I decided to make sure I differentiated between the QBs based on the following: TD percentage Completion percentage Yards per attempt INT percentage I ended up coming up with some wacky, convoluted formula which weighed and combined the four stats above, then attempted looking at each season objectivity, flipped more than a few coins, and added in a liberal use of a dart board lol... Just to give you an idea, here are the ratings of Rodgers, Brees, Brady and Stafford when their stats were run through my goofy stat analysis ("goofy stat analysis" = Copyright Califan007 2011, all rights reserved): Aaron Rodgers – 9.48 Drew Brees – 8.33 Tom Brady - 7.92 Matt Stafford – 7.34 And here's how the bottom of the pile rated out: Blaine Gabbert – 4.64 Sam Bradford – 4.76 So that gives you some indication of where the best QBs reside and where the worst QBs reside, at least when I plug their stats into my equation. The list consists only of those QBs who started at least 13 games. Get ready to be depressed lol :mad: :mad:… #10 1992: Mark Rypien – 3282 yds, 56.2%, 13 TDs, 17 INTs Rating: 5.08 Best Game: against the Giants: 216 yds, 83.3%, 2 TDs, 0 INTs #9 2011: Rex Grossman – 3151 yds, 57.9%, 16 TDs, 20 INTs Rating: 5.27 Best Game: against the Giants: 305 yds, 61.8%, 2 TDs, 0 INTs Rex's INT% blew everyone else's out of the water, unfortunately.. #8 1997: Gus Frerotte – 2682 yds, 50.7%, 17 TDs, 12 INTs Rating: 5.48 Best Game: against the Jaguars: 244 yds, 66.7%, 3 TDs, 1 INT Gus has the 3rd best TD% in 1997 of all the QBs listed here, so that helped move him up the list... #7 2010: Donovan McNabb – 3377 yds, 58.3%, 14 TDs, 15 INTs Rating: 5.48 Best Game: against the Texans: 426 yds, 73.7%, 1 TD, 0 INTs #6 1996: Gus Frerotte – 3453 yds, 57.4%, 12 TDs, 11 INTs Rating: 5.52 Best Game: against the 49ers: 294 yds, 69.2%, 1 TD, 0 INTs #5 2008: Jason Campbell – 3245 yds, 62.3%, 13 TDs, 6 INTs Rating: 5.78 Best Game: against the Lions: 328 yds, 82.1%, 1 TD, 0 INTs You could probably flip JC, Gus and McNabb in any combination and it would be valid :yes:... #4 2009: Jason Campbell – 3618 yds, 64.5%, 20 TDs, 15 INTs Rating: 6.18 Best Game: against the Saints: 367 yds, 71.4%, 3 TDs, 1 INT #3 1998: Trent Green – 3441 yds, 54.6%, 23 TDs, 11 INTs Rating: 6.02 Best Game: against the Cardinals: 382 yds, 61.2%, 4 TDs, 1 INT This is one of those times when I disregarded the rating. Campbell had a higher rating, but 18 of his 20 TDs were inside the red zone, as where only 14 of Trent Green’s 23 TDs were inside the red zone. Which means Green was scoring from all over the field, not just from within 20 yards of the end zone. Plus, Green came off the bench as something like a 12th string QB lol (ok, not literally but you know what I meant), as where Campbell had already been a starter for 2 ½ seasons and couldn’t generate much of a passing offense through the first half of the season. #2 2005: Mark Brunell – 3050 yds, 57.7%, 23 TDs, 10 INTs Rating: 6.39 Best Game: against the Chiefs: 331yds, 61.0%, 3 TDs, 0 INTs #1 1999: Brad Johnson – 4005 yds, 60.9%, 24 TDs, 13 INTs Rating: 6.57 Best Game: against the Panthers: 337 yds, 60.6%, 4 TDs, 0 INTs So there you have it. I'm severely hoping that whoever we get as our next QB will have seasons that trump damn near all of these listed above :yes:... Yeah, I know how you feel, Mike...

Truant Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Pretty much sums it up. Alright, I've changed my mind. Trade up for Griffin or Luck. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 LOL, i know we all know it, but to truly see those top 10 stats is pretty pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 lol, that pic at the end says it all. That was after that 49ers game in which we witnessed, arguably, some of the worst QB play here ever. The team quit that day as well... you could just see it. I think that was the only time that ever happened since Shanahan has been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 While that picture and stat montage was sobering that picture of Shanahan at the end made it all worthwhile. His mug looks like the lovechild of Ebenezer Scrooge and Golem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh48932 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I miss Mark Brunell. I was raised a "Skins fan" but living in Tennessee, we rarely got to watch the games. 2005 and 2006 was when I was living in Baltimore and finally got to watch the whole season, and really became a true fan. Hard to believe that he's still in the league, as I thought he was on his last legs then, 5-6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambler01 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The hell with it, give Indianapolis every pick up until 2015 for AL12. What a depressing OP that was....thank you for ruining my weekend, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Man, reflecting on this is somewhat depressing, but I have faith it will get better. On some level I'm surprised, and then on some levels I'm not, that Patrick Ramsey isn't up there. What a flub that was. Brad Johnson's 99 season was respectable, but to be #1. Jeez, we've got some work to do. Thanks for putting all this together Califan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 All five of the starting OL on that '99 team were drafted in the first two rounds. Four of them didn't miss a start and the other started 12 games. But everyone knows all you need is a franchise QB to succeed in the NFL. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

JerseyGator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 What's so different aside from incompetent refs not calling holding on the OL that protects the pretty boy QBs? Plus the Skins had Centers blocking for Davis. Skins also had only 6 OL start games in 1999. This year's team had 10 OL start games with only 2 starting all 16.

scruffylookin Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Honestly, since the 1992 season, I think we've seen two good seasons and one of them is graded on a curve. Brad Johnson in 1999 was the only performance that was truly top shelf. Trent Green in 1998 wasn't quite as good as his stats however, as mentioned in the op, he was a career backup and nobody had any idea how he would do when Gus got benched. So lowered expectations help Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 pathetic. And here we go with the offensive line again. I have an idea lets keep Rex Grossman as the starter and draft an entire offensive line because that will surely fix the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWO-tarious Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Brad Johnson actually had some fairly respectable numbers. The pathetic thing is that #1 ranked performance was 11 years ago! Even more pathetic is that Sexy Rexy even made this list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinSince87 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 WOW we have sucked at the QB spot and that's an understatement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Why do people who adore the elusive yet slow franchise QB have a disdain for stats? Why doesn't someone figure out how many franchise QBs over the years have switched teams to get behind one of the worst lines in the league? I honestly can't think of any over at least the past ten years. So I guess the Skins must rely on the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirtyfive2seven Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 What you say with sarcasm is more true than you are willing to admit. I'd love to know how many INTs Rex threw while under pressure compared to him just plain sucking. I can remember 3-4 off the top of my head in one game against the Eagles? that got him benched. You can't blame the offensive line in that situation. EDIT: Did you know that 11 of 12 rookies suited up and contributed in games for the Redskins this past season. You can bet it would have been 12 of 12 if Jenkins wasn't injured. That's truly amazing for a team that saw like 1 player contribute from Vinny's draft class over the years. I have full confidence in the way this team is managed. I think they will do their best in the draft to put a quality product on the field.
