    Wow, I wonder how long he spent working on that before he realized how completely and totally flawed his logic was.

    The guy's follow up about "The Best QB of all time" is pretty interesting, too.

    I can't view the site at the moment but I wonder if former Pats QB, Scott Secules made the list [​IMG]

    Well I would think Leaf is the worst and then Harrington as of late atleast. This didnt even seem to know what he was talking about IMO

    Well, the system took one stat into account. YPA. Throwing INTs didnt penalize, throwing TDs not a bonus. Winning games, doesnt matter. Longevity in the league in WCO with bad RAC WRs hurts you.

    It was an adjusted YPA, not that this makes that big of a difference...

    Yeah, if you guys have ever seen Anthony Dilweg or Randy Wright play, you'd know they should be near the top of the list.

    That was the stupidest logic I could imagine for evaluting QBs....we are all slightly dumber for having read that dribble....

    I should likely hate it the most since my team just got rid of the 3rd worst QB of All-Time, only to sign the 13th worst All-Time as our new starter. As a numbers guy I think it's the best formula I've ever seen to evaluate QB's.

    It certainly helps show Dan Marino isn't the greatest of all-time, in fact it shows that many of the greatest QB's of all-time played before 1980!

    I doubt that had any affect on me.

    I'm gonna go with Akili Smith because that guy had a lot of hype and did absolutely nothing.Leaf is right along with him....Just imagine if the Chargers had a brain and got Peyton Manning?

    The Chargers couldnt have gotten Peyton Manning if they wanted him. The Colts were not moving from their #1 position. Chargers could have gotten Charles Woodson, Takeo Spikes or Randy Moss, but those guys didnt seem to be worth the the #2 selection back in 1999 even though that it might seem like it should today. Ryan Leaf had all the heisman hype after he threw 33 TDs. Leaf had the talent but the chargers and his attitude destroyed him. He should have had a veteran in front of him to teach him the way.

    Weren't there rumors of possibly moving up because The Colts did like Ryan Leaf and Charles Woodson?

    I give the dumbest QB award to Aaron Brooks.

    Lets hope your team isn't next to sign him!
