You're right...he in the SEC and played vs. the #6 SOS while putting up better numbers than Dungey. Both his raw and total QBR are ranked much higher than Dungeys. His completion percentage is higher, his yards per pass is higher, he threw for more td's, and far less interceptions. How exactly is Hurts not at least at Dungeys level? If your answer is, "because Hurts is surrounded by better players at each position", then how does that prove Dungey is a far better QB? I suppose you could speculate, but c'mon...not in the same league? As mentioned before, he was the SEC offensive player of the year. That means that you think Dungey is "ACC Offensive Player of the Year" caliber. I'm sorry, but if your QB is a P5 confrence offensive player of the year caliber player, you don't go 4-8.

"Yeah, but he didn't go 4-8, he was injured"  
Why would a players ability to stay healthy not be factored in as his overall effectiveness as a QB? If we lived in an imaginary world where you only count the games he starts and finishes, then it wouldn't matter. However, we live in reality, and the reality is, Dungey can only offer us his services for about 2/3 of a season.

Would you rather own a fully loaded Camry that will never break down, or a fully loaded Mercedes that only starts 2/3 of the time?
