Tavaris Jackson to Seahawks?

[james_walleye]

Boy ya, you really got us. Through week 4 hes rated 3 QB's lower than McNabb lol!! Hes really tearing it up lol!!

[Rick]

2 of those interceptions were on the money to his receivers. One that would have been an easy TD, enough to win.

Can you imagine if he had a real O-line

T-Junks a stud in the making crow eaters

[Scott K]

lol

[local laker]

yeah,and someday t-jacks jump pass will be compared to Kareem & the sky hook!

year end stats wont lie.20+ ints,maybee 20+ tds,maybee.

Sounds like last years QB.....

[PierBridge]

Tough break for T-Jack with the injury Sunday! He was playing another decent game and it was to look like he was possibly on the way to turning the corner in his career!

[FutbolGuru]

That was another thing about Tjack that always bothered me, but the media never really talked about. Injuries. The guy couldn't go more than a few games without getting injured when he was in MN. Looks like that is still the case.

[james_walleye]

Decent game? I guess a passer rating of 85 is decent for junkson. For most qbs its pretty sad, but not for junkson.

[B. Amish]

passer rating is probably the most worthless statistic in the histoy of sports.

[goblueM]

nah, passer rating is pretty useful. now you want to talk about useless statistics, look to baseball

[B. Amish]

except nobody knows how it's calculated. they just spew it like it's the gospel and it's supposed to mean something relevant.

brett favre career rating: 86.0

culpepper career rating: 87.8

McDrab would love to get his up to an 85 rating! Maybe he's in th 80s now after the cardinal drubbing, but I'm prety sure he has been hovering in the upper 70s for the season average prior to yesterday...

Good Luck!

Look it up, he's been in the 80's.....which doesn't take much.

That's not surprising knowing what ints do to a rating. Go look at junksons stat line for the year and tell me that it isn't right in line with his passer rating. You can disregard the rating because you don't know how its calculated. Pretty hard to say his stat line isn't pretty poor.

HOF'ers career qb ratings:

bradshaw: 70.9

elway: 79.9

aikman: 81.6

marino: 86.4

jackson's 85 looks pretty good.

oh yeah, it's a flawed statistic and means almost nothing.

[2k1stang]

Care to elaborate?

[james_walleye]

Like I said Amish, look at his statline and come back and tell me it looks pretty good. And tell me it doesn't fall right in line with a rating thats in the bottom half of the league.

Just out of curiosity how can you call it flawed when you already admitted you haven't a clue how its figured.

[james_walleye]

If you knew what went into passer rating you would understand its a relative stat. In 1975 when Bradshaw played in the age of smashmouth football there were only 2 qbs with ratings over 90. Last year there was 13. Passer ratings this day and age are higher due to how different the game is played. Thus comparing junksons rating to people who were playing 15 to 30 years ago is like comparing apples to oranges.

[B. Amish]

jackson's rating is higher this year than mcnabb, matt ryan, flacco, cutler, kolb, orton, freeman, sanchez and bradford.

[james_walleye]

I know that, look at the stats.....what is your point.....

[B. Amish]

that jackson isn't as bad as you and most others in here claim him to be.

[B. Amish]

...and that passer rating is a dumb statistic.

[james_walleye]

Well that is based on opinion and certainly not stats seeing as though he's ranked in the bottom half of the league in every stat except completion percentage. We all know that's because he's the king of the dumpoff which is proven by being 26th in the league Reguarding yards per attempt.

You can think its a dumb stat all you want but if you would take a look it goes hand in hand with the stats. Real hard to believe I know, especially since that's what the ratings are based on lol.

[james_walleye]

...and that passer rating is a dumb statistic.

...yet you just used it to try and prove your point that junkson isn't that bad......

[B. Amish]

what do these stats have in common?

32/40 for 400 yards and 4 td's

16/20 for 150 yards and 2 td's

8/10 for 75 yards and 1 td

answer: the same passer rating. but, i'd call the 400 yard game better than the 75 yard game, wouldn't you?
