Jim, Newton's got a better QB rating -- he's got the rushing yardage

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Nov 7 '11, 11:21

he's got a 20% better YPA figure so it's not a dink and dump for him. (8.3 to 6.6)

Add in his schedule has included GB, Chi, NO, Atlanta, Was (the defense is strong).

Dalton's played SF and Buffalo as the only 2 decent teams out of their first half. He's yet to play a game against Bal/Pit.

I love Dalton, but Cam's gotta be the choice...and DeMarco Murray isn't even close to #2.

I forgot about the rushing. I just looked at the other QB stats and Dalton has him on completion %, TDs, less INTs and less sacks. The QB rating is - Jim Nov 7, 11:23 6
- Newton is already third among QBs in rushing TDs for the past three seasons *combined*. - David Nov 7, 11:26 4
  - Hey, I know a guy who's tied with him at 7 rushing TDs. C'mon...you know you want to say it. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:28 3
    - Does it rhyme with "Bad Throw"? -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:31 1
      - Actually, it's closer to "Hero". :) -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:34
    - Tebow! -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:31
- Come week 16, I think we'll see a clearer separation. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:24
I completely understand the logic for Dalton, but he's only the second best rookie on his own offense imo. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:22 2
- Very possible...I think they're feeding off each other to be much better rookies than they're supposed to be. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:23 1
  - Yeah, I wonder what the record is for TD throws/receptions for a pair of rookies. - David Nov 7, 11:24
