Blind NFL QB stats.

[mcdawg22]

In a group text we were discussing NFL QB’s and how much the game has changed. I was looking through career stats and came across a ton of them that kind of amazed me when doing the blind resumé ala March Madness. This is one of my favorites. Both of these guys played in the last 30 years. Can you guess who the guy on the top is and who the guy on the bottom is?

I know google can be your friend but I’ll leave this up for a few hours to see if anyone can imagine the difference in opinions of these two QB’s careers.

No clue, but I made similar to this about a year ago using Cousins stats. His stats were comparable to Marino’s at one point. It’s to the point where it’s useless to compare today’s offensive outputs to that of the 80s and 90s. The way games are reffed make it an impossible comparison. It’s the difference between pre and post 3 point line.

In baseball, we are continually devaluing wins for pitchers. I feel like in football, we need to do the opposite for QBs. Garbage time yardage is real.

Qbs and WRs these days can't be assaulted like in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s.

Did they both play for the Cowboys? I think the second one is Aikman. First one could be Romo.

That's my point. Comparing QBs across generations is almost useless because the game is refereed differently.

I guessed right on the first one -- Ryan Fitzpatrick. Journeyman QB who's started for a hundred different teams and usually not for long -- but who also has some good games and stats look decent overall.

For the second one I guessed Elway at first and was wrong. I adjusted based on his stats and got it right on the second guess, but I won't say who in case others want to take a stab.

Knowing the first guy is Fitzpatrick, I assumed the 2nd guy played in the 90's and was probably a HOFer.

Certainly shows the value of having tremendous talent around you.

Is the second one is Aikman

First one is for sure Fitzpatrick.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Second is Aikman. I’ll assume the first is Fitz since everyone says so

Y’all got it. Fitz and Aikman. I don’t follow the NFL as closely as I used to, but I was shocked at Fitzpatrick’s numbers.

I never really watched Fitz all that much until he signed with Miami last year. Great leader and the type of guy you want as your QB from a leadership standpoint. But an absolute roller coaster. The guy can look like the second coming of Dan Marino one game and like the non LSU version of Costello the next game.

New gimick?
