Yas: By the numbers - Newton vs. Gabbert

[teeray]

When was the last time a QB that had 8 tds and 15 ints drafted into the NFL??

I agree stats aren't THAT important but they are somewhat important.

imo, you would have to give the same respect to attempts to TDs. that really doesn't work out in gabbert's favor.

still, i would love to find fumble stats for college players.

You're right, if you're considering stats, you should. Gabbert had awful stats. Not defending them, just saying there is more to it than TD:INT ratio. There's a lot that goes into how those numbers came about.

Nobody who drafts Gabbert is doing it for his stats. The same is true of Cam Newton really, just on the opposite end of it.

agreed. it's primarily potential, work ethic, coachability and other intangibles.
