Once there were four guys who wanted to be Quarterback. Of these four guys two played a conservative game and two played a devil may care game. Two were touted as amazing gifted and top notch, two were considered questionable. One of these quarterbacks has become a household name, the other three are on the cusp of finding their identity. Lets look at these four quarterbacks a little more.

When comparing players, quarterbacks especially it is difficult to judge sucess. Different styles of play, differnt offenses and different mind sets come into play and can affect statisics. For example, a quarterback may have a 50% completion record but 0 interceptions whe another may have a 60% completion record but 10 interceptions. To me, I would take the QB with 50% because he, in my mind takes care of the football. Some however may want the 60% and are willing to give up the interceptions. So using this logic that stats can be decieving I am going to use stats as best I can to show you these four quarterbacks. I will use their first season where they played a minimum of ten games.

QB1:

Comp. % 63.3     TD 18     INT 12     Ratio (TD:Int) 1.5:1

QB2:

Comp. % 63.6     TD 20     INT 14     Ratio (TD:Int) 1.4:1

QB3:

Comp. % 53.8     TD 13     INT 8     Ratio (TD:Int) 1.6:1

QB4:

Comp. % 51.6     TD 9     INT 13     Ratio (TD:Int) 0.7:1

Now thats their first year of 10+ games. Infact all of them played 15 that year. None of these QB's look impressive do they? Infact I am sure you guys have some players in mind when you see these.Maybe I should take their first 2 years total and see how it adds up

QB1:

Comp. % 63.7     TD 18     INT 12     Ratio (TD:Int) 1.5:1

QB2:

Comp. % 62.6     TD 29     INT 19    Ratio (TD:Int) 1.5:1

QB3:

Comp. % 53.9     TD 15     INT 12     Ratio (TD:Int) 1.3:1

QB4:

Comp. % 52.0     TD 12     INT 15     Ratio (TD:Int) 0.8:1

Still none of these quarterbacks are awe inspiring. Now some have had more time to develop than others in fact one of these Quarterbacks is only in his third year so, how do you find equal stats? same # of games? probably not. Career stats are hard when one has been around forever and one hasnt right? okay how about career Completion percentage and TD to Int ratio?

QB1:

Comp% 62.9     Ratio 2.3:1

QB2 :

Comp% 62.6     Ratio 1.4:1

QB3:

Comp% 52.1     Ratio1:1

QB4:

Comp% 55.3     Ratio 1.2:1

Interesting isnt it? Now one thing I have to say is that three of these quarterbacks have shared two offensive coordinators so now here is an interesting stat set

QB1 with OC1

68.8%  6.3:1 (TD:Int)

QB4 with OC1

55.7% 3:0 (TD:Int)

QB2 with OC2

64.4% 1.2:1 (TD:Int)

QB4 with OC2

55.3% 1.1:1 (TD:Int)

Interesting how OC1 made his QB's look stellar and OC2 leaves room to wonder. Now I had to go with college stats cause that might do it right? ok:

QB1:

Comp% 62.3     Ratio 1.8:1

QB2:

Comp% 59.7     Ratio 2.2:1

QB3:

Comp% 60.7     Ratio 6.2:1

QB4:

Comp% 61.9    Ratio 2.5:1

Now there are some more stats for you crazy how in the right system people can do well QB1 in the NFL in the sysytem he is in and QB4 in his college system. Now if he finds an NFL system for him he may turn out great! QB2 and QB3 look like they are who they were in college so no surprises there.

Interesting facts:

QB1 and QB4 were drafted in the 2-7th round and QB2 and QB3 were top 15 picks.

now when you look through these stats add to this...

QB1- Tom Brady

QB2- Jay Cutler

QB3- JaMarcus Russell

QB4- Kyle Orton

just some food for thought here. Brady is the Control here just for information.
