[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 767738, member: 2299"] Here is Sims' #s compared to some other freshman QBs we've had. Sims - 188 pypg on 55% passing for 7.3 per attempt, 13-13 TD/INT (1.3 each per game), 49 rypg, 4.1 ypc, 6 TDs (.6 per game). Ball - 153 pypg on 52% passing for 5.7 per attempt, 10-11 TD/INT (.77 td per game and .85 int per game) 29.5 rypg, 2.8 ypc, 3 TDs (.23 per game) Joe Ham - 134 pypg on 57% passing for 7.1 per attempt, 7-13 TD/INT (.7/1.3 per game), 25 rypg, 2.6 ypc, 3 TD (.3 per game). Shawn Jones - 159 pypg on 52.4% passing for 6.5 per attempt, 12 TD/13 INT (1.1/1.2 per game) 30 rypg, 2.9 ypc, 3 TDs (.27 per game) Here are some extras. Vince young as a redshirt sophomore - 154 pypg on 59% passing for 7.4 per attempt. 12/11 TD/INT, 90 rypg, 6.5 ypc, 14 TD. (He started second string as a redshirt freshman and split time with the other guy after midway through so it would be hard to compare) Russell Wilson - 177 pypg on 55% passing 7.1 per attempt, 17TD/1 INT, 35 rypg, 3.3 ypc, 4TDs (.36 per game). Matt Barkley - 227 pypg on 60% for 7.8 ypa, 15TD - 14 INT negative rush yards. Obviously difference situations means you can't make any drastic claims, but the point is a lot of people don't seem to have a good frame of reference for judging a true freshman QB. BTW, for those who argue you can't improve your accuracy. Wilson improved his nearly 20% by the time he was a senior (4% while at NCSU). Young improved his nearly 7 points. Jones improved his nearly 6 points his sophomore year. Joe Ham improved his by nearly 7 points as a sophomore. Barkley improved by nearly 10% at one point. Reggie got worse. There are numerous examples of QBs improving their completion %. Oh, and for the special kind of 'you have to be kidding me take'. Here is FSU's best QB Jordan Travis. 142 pypg (not including the first two games where he didn't really play much), 52.2 %, 4 TDs-5 INT, 7.6 ypa, 58.6 rypg, 5.5 ypc, 6 TDs. That is as a redshirt sophomore. There isn't really an argument that he was right to cut Sims loose, even if you are just going by who would be better this year. Sims obviously still needs to improve. Like every true freshman does. That isn't something to hold against him. And the notion of their being certain aspects that just can't be improved is straight up bunk. [/QUOTE]
