Quincy Carter Update

[Hoofbite]

Then those QBs were serviceable for the season in which they took their teams to the playoffs.

In 2005, Chris Simms had a QB rating of 81.4. Not "horrible" in the least.

In 2003, Kyle Boller had a QB rating of 62.4 as a rookie, but the Ravens were NOT on pace to make the playoffs until Anthony Wright took over. Wright led the Ravens to wins in 5 of his 7 starts, and had a mediocre QB rating of 72.3.

In 2002, Tim Couch's QB rating was 76.8. Mediocre, but not horrible. One might say it's *gasp* "serviceable"!

In 2001, Elvis Grbac's QB rating was 71.1, which is surely mediocre but not quite "horrible".

I guess it depends on your definition of "horrible". To me, Quincy was mediocre but "horrible" is a bit of a stretch.

Well sure, not everyone's definition of "horrible" is going to be the same. Thats to be expected.

And maybe "horrible" didn't apply to Simms QB rating for that specific season. TDs were low, missed games, took about 3 sacks a start. Nothing special to say the least.

And those other guys, where do you draw the line? You don't get QB ratings much lower than the low 70s so if they aren't in the horrible category, what does it take?

From the looks of things, our definitions are separated by quite a large margin. And would could probably throw stats all day and end up nowhere. In any event, however you want to classify those QB performances or QC's performance, I don't think that any of their play was deserving of credit for making the playoffs. Well, maybe give Couch a little but the others had great defenses to piggy-back them all the way to the playoffs.
