I received this interesting information via email this morning...note how these QBs for the most part didn't have very high efficiency numbers in college.

Were you just providing that as an FYI or do you have a different conclusion? (note: no sarcasm here I just want to see if I am reading into this what you are)

Indy Coug · 01-17-2006, 07:18 PM

It was an FYI. Personally, I would have expected virtually all of them to have had better efficiency numbers than they did. It was interesting to see how flat Peyton Manning's numbers were for his career.

i find it very interesting, the lowest one on the totem pole, Rex Grossman had the highest effieciency, that is close to a NCAA record IIRC, Does Wureffel still have the record?

Also what is Becks PER the last 3 years.

Indy Coug · 01-17-2006, 07:27 PM

Notice Grossman's efficiency his junior year, the year he declared for the draft. It wasn't too hot.

Beck's efficiency

2003 - 104.9
2004 - 128.5
2005 - 137.6
