Cool Breakdown of Elite QB - Tandy - 11-30-2010 04:46 PM
Over on the AFMB - someone started a thread about whether Ryan could be an elite QB. Someone posted this - and I thought it was cool - so I'm posting it here for you guys!
Here is my fool-proof formula for determining an elite QB
1) Go to NFL.com stats page
2) Pull up the passing stats
3) sort by completion percentage
4) Take the top 10
Romo
Brees
Brady
Garrard
Rivers
E. Manning
P. Manning
Kitna
Rodgers
Ryan
5) Remove QBs with less than 300 pass attempts
Brees
Brady
Rivers
E. Manning
P. Manning
Rodgers
Ryan
6) Remove the QB with the most ints
Brees
Brady
Rivers
P. Manning
Rodgers
Ryan
7) Remove the QB with the worst rating
Brees
Brady
Rivers
Rodgers
Ryan
8) Remove the QB with the worst win\loss record
Brees
Brady
Rodgers
Ryan
9) Remove the QB with the worst TD/Int ratio
Brady
Rodgers
Ryan
10) Remove the QB with the least passing yards
Rodgers
Ryan
11) Remove the QB with the least number of completions
Ryan
Cool !

Great find. Not scientific but it made me grin. You cant go wrong with Matt.

Is this one of those things where the answer will always be Matt Ryan, no matter what you choose?

Perhaps a quicker way would be:
1) Go to NFL.com stats page
2) Pull up the passing stats
3) sort by completion percentage
4) Take the top 10
5) Remove QBs not ending in "att Ryan".

Nice find Tandy!
Here's a comparison I just did on Brees and Ryan for another thread...
Drew Brees: 21-21 his first three full seasons... only one appearance his rookie year... 14-10 at Home
DrewBrees: 29 -13 as of week 11 his last three seasons... 15 -6 at Home
Matt Ryan: 29-12 as of week 11 3rd season.... 19-1 at Home (fewer games played!)
