Here’s where I get confused. It seems we have different definitions of talent. I generally think “physical” traits as others use the term talent. Yes, Ewers has a stronger, more lively arm than Sam. Hell, he may even be faster than Sam. In college, you just need QBs to make plays however they come. Interestingly enough, Ewers has a livelier, stronger arm than Vince Young. Anyone here going to call him more talented? Sam has more attributes closer to Young than Ewers does to Young.
Traditional passing stats are good, but they’re very limited relative to what you have today. If you wish to compare completion percentage, that’s fairly useless. For example Ewers has thrown 32% and 27% of his passes behind the LOS the past two years. Sam never threw more than 20% (be mindful Sark is more a screen guy than Herman). In their careers those completion %s in that range are from 91-95%. Quick math on the 32% gives you around 10% higher completion percentage in total before you even get to the other depths.
Even if we talk win percentage, is it not equal or higher in non-Quinn starts than Quinn starts the past 3 years?
All of the discussion requires context. The simple answer based on numbers is simply that. The simple answer.
