QB passing stats for 2007

[atlfalcon2184]

I'm so sick of all of these "experts" saying that we have to take Matt Ryan. I think this has been posted before , but not lately. It needs to be done again so I decided to look up and post the stats for most of the QB's coming out this year. Everyone knows about Ryan's terrible TD/Int. ratio, but I wanted to compare his stats to everyone else. So here it goes:

Are you saying that stellar college stats are the best way to determine that a college QB will translate to NFL stardom?

If so, might as well post David Greenes, Andre Ware's, Dave Klingler's, Timmy Chang's stats...**** look at Tim Rattay--a stud in college terms--NFL backup.

The argument of his INT to TD ratio is so hosed on many levels. #1 BCs running game was inferior. Ryan was forced to throw over 600 times. Kind of hard to fool the defense in play action when you do that, aint it. Are you going to blame bad playcalling on Ryan? He didn't call the pass plays--i guarantee that.

If anything the fact that he has such good stats is indicative of a Kid that can carry a team on his shoulders. Especially when you consider BC ended up #10 overall in the country.

Does Ryan need to make better decisions in the NFL? Not try to force the ball so much? Manage the game more than try to win it by himself all of the time? Sure he does, just like any ROOKIE QB will need to.

[Poster Large Johnson]

only players on this list who played any real competition was JDB, Dixon, Ainge & AW

only thing that really matters to me is completion % & TD to Int ratio

again college #s are whatever to me w/ respect to the potential NFL impact

Of course you can't blame the QB on a poor running game, I blame the QB for throwing the ball in double and triple coverage including when he's NOT under durress.

Taking someone top 5 in the draft just on the hope that he will drastically improve his decision making is ridiculous.

You say the TD/INT ratio is overrated but there isn't a single highly regarded prospect that has ever failed to have a 2/1 TD/INT ratio.

Even Rex Grossman and Eli Manning had one. The fact that RYan is a worse decision maker than those guys is just plain scary

I don't know what the original poster was saying, but what I say with complete confidence is that a QB who was 61st in college passer rating in Division I is unworthy of a first round pick.

Feel free to make an argument as to why this is not the case.

I was just listing the stats. I still can't see how Ryan is rated so high. I watched him quite a bit and I was never impressed. I don't think stats are everything at all, but they have to factor into the equation.

I wasn't saying that all QB's who have great college stats will be good NFL QB's. You would have to be an idiot to think that. My question is how many QB's that have mediocre college stats turn out to be great pro's? He could turn out to be great, who knows, but he is way too risky for a top 5 pick.
