[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 834651, member: 2299"] I'm going to repost this since it leads into the comparisons. "since returning against UNC (counting it as half a game) Sims is averaging 305 yards per game passing on 9.28 yards per attempt on ~63.5%, 9 TDs to 5 INTs, with 82 yards rushing on 6.8 ypc, 4 TDs." Here are the stats of the comparisons brought up. Stroud - 327.5 ypg on 67.6% 10.62 ypa 22 TDs to 3 INT with 3 rypg 1.1 ypc 0 TDs in 6 games Young - 306.6 ypg on 70% 9.18 ypa, 26 TDs to3 INTs with 5 ypg rushing on 1.1 ypc 2 TDs in 8 games Johnson - 251 ypg on 61.4% 7.61 ypa 20 TDs to 5 INTs with negative yards rushing 0 TDs in 8 games Hartman - 296 ypg on 65% 9.73 ypa, 19 TDs to 3 INTs, about 21 ypg rushing on 3.3 ypc 4 TDs. in 7 games. Numbers wise his ypg, completion% ypa, and passing TDs (accounting for games played) are very similar to that group. His INTs are a big negative outlier and his rushing game is a big positive outlier. But he's almost certainly more likely to improve his turnovers than they are to improve their running ability. And then again, we're comparing him to top 2 QBs at Alabama and OSU, a 4th year QB, and the one QB who is in somewhat similar situation (still at LSU) has a significantly lower ypa with negative rushing yards. If we just took away more of the dangerous throws we could lower the INT rate, but we'd move the ball less and have no chance to win so we don't. And I know "but but but garbage time" and "but if you only look at the times he plays bad he isn't playing well". Save us all the time it takes to read that garbage. Oh, and here is another comparison. Sam Howell - 264 ypg on 61% 8.77 ypa, 18 TDs to 6 INTs 70 ypg rushing on 5.1 ypc 5 TDs with at least 3 fumbles So compared to Howell, since returning from injury Sims is throwing for more with a higher completion percentage with more yards per attempt more TDs (when adjusted for games played) while also rushing for more, scoring more TDS rushing, and in total is turning the ball over about the same. I bring him up because when people made this argument before he was one of the go to examples. [/QUOTE]
