Fug it, I hate it when people draw things out when I'm not the one doing the drawing out, so I'll just answer it.

Here's how some great quarterbacks from the past decade did through Week 3 of their rookie preseason plus our very own Cam Newton:

A: 21 of 52 for 275 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, 1 rushing TD (Cam Newton)

B: 11 of 20 for 121 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INTs (Michael Vick)

C: 27 of 49 for 270 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs (Sam Bradford)

D: 26 of 46 for 255 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, 1 rushing TD (Josh Freeman)

E: 25 of 46 for 308 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs (Matthew Stafford)

F: 19 of 32 for 280 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT (Mark Sanchez)

G: 5 of 14 for 79 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs (Philip Rivers)

H: 32 of 52 for 277 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT (Matt Ryan)

I: 28 of 55 for 226 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT (Joe Flacco)

J: 11 of 24 for 80 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs (Aaron Rodgers)

K: 20 of 42 for 228 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs (Eli Manning)

Thoughts?

Good post. It really reinforces that we have to be patient, as some of the answers really surprised me.

My bottom 2 were Philip Rivers and Aaron Rodgers, two guys that are obviously great QB's.

I penalized heavily for turnovers and that is not always fair...case in point, if your receiver tips a ball they should have caught and it gets picked.

Without actually watching the games in question and seeing what happened in them, or hell, knowing ANY of the context of this stuff, it's impossible to say anything about these numbers.

This does well to show that you shouldn't really give a poo about the stats a player collects in the preseason, but it does matter how a player plays in the preseason, something stats don't always reflect.

1.Cam Newton,Michael Vick,Sam Bradford,Josh Freeman,Matthew Stafford,Mark Sanchez, and Eli Manning dont belong on an list of Great quarterbacks at this time. Some of them may end up on one at some point in time.

2 Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Phillip Rivers, and Aaron Rodgers have at least earned the right for greatness to be discussed.

3 3 preseason games worth of stats is nowhere near enough to make any kind of sane judgement about how a qb is going to do.

4 Cam Newton based on his performance to date is not ready to start. That does not mean I dont't think he will be a good qb.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
