This was in a breakdown of CFB QB’s on ESPN. Just an interesting nugget of info.
“OK, one last comparison:
QB A: 84.1 Total QBR, 65.4% completions, 8.8 yards-per-attempt, 3.3 TD-to-INT rate, played with a first-round draft pick at receiver.
QB B: 83.8 Total QBR, 65.8% completions, 9.1 yards-per-attempt, 4.0 TD-to-INT rate, played with a first-round draft pick at receiver.
Tough call, right? If anything, perhaps a slight edge to QB B, but both were excellent.
And you'd be right to praise QB A. That was Washington's Penix, who played for a national title and was taken with the eighth pick in the NFL draft. The other guy? That's McCord, who was largely seen as a disappointment in his lone year as the starter at Ohio State. He transferred this offseason to Syracuse where, it should be noted, he'll have a solid receiving corps again with Oronde Gadsden II, Jackson Meeks and Zeed Haynes, playing his home games on the turf indoors and doing it without the massive expectations that come with being QB1 in Columbus.”
