Gabbert is not included. He does not have 3 starts.


Opposing defenses had the same amount of game film
available on all equally...
since it is stats from their first 3 games.


The numbers speak for themselves.

Fox/Elway/Xanders' want a chance to win, not to actually win.

Good stuff :salute:

Its alright though, we'll get to see plenty of Tebow in weeks 15-17 this year as well again. While he puts up good numbers, wins some games, and we can decide on starting Orton again next year.

I think the QB's are ranked as follows...


Sam Bradford
Matthew Stafford
Josh Freeman
Mark Sanchez
Cam Newton
Colt McCoy
Tim Tebow
Andy Dalton
Jimmy Clausen

Bradford, and I do think Stafford are going to continue to separate themselves from the rest. Sanchez is simply as good as the defense, Freeman is turning into a very good leader. I think Tebow is the most versatile of the bunch and would serve well in a slash role where he could run wildcat as well as a backup QB. I really like Mccoy and think he is going to emerge as a productive and efficient QB but I don't see him as a Pro Bowler

I think Stafford is by far the best of those years, so far. Bradford is a bit overrated thus far. Also, it's hard to compare Tebow to those guy when has 3 starts and some have more than a season.

Every QB on that list is expected to be a premier NFL QB....

except for Tebow?

He is at or near the top in every category.

We need to find out what the Kid can do...
fail or succeed HERE.. this season...
so that the circus will be over finaly.

EFX may not have drafted him.. but he is here..
and it would be the height of lunacy to trade him away untested.

If Tim were to go on to tremendous success for another team...
that will be on EFX.. NOT McD.

It seems improbable that they would be so short sighted.

Not every QB on that list is expected too, or will be a premier QB. I'm not sure where that argument is coming from.
