Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 629763, member: 720"] I really don't get all of the Nassib hate that comes from a lot of people out there. For comparison's sake, I wanted to take a look at a random QB who was drafted in the last 5 or 6 years and see how Nassib stack's up against them. I went with Matt Ryan. Here is a comparison of them from their final years at BC and Syracuse, respectively. [B][U]M. Ryan[/U][/B] Pass Attempts: 654 Completion Percentage: 59.3 Passing Yards: 4507 Passing Yards/Attempt: 6.9 Adjusted Passing Yards/Attempt: 6.5 Passing Touchdowns: 31 Interceptions: 19 Passing Efficiency Rating: 127.0 [B][U]R. Nassib[/U][/B] Pass Attempts: 471 Completion Percentage: 62.4 Passing Yards: 3749 Passing Yards/Attempt: 8.0 Adjusted Passing Yards/Attempt: 8.1 Passing Touchdowns: 26 Interceptions: 10 Passing Efficiency Rating: 143.3 So Nassib has a better completion percentage, higher passing yards per attempt, higher adjusted passing yards/attempt (by a lot), a better TD to INT ratio and a better Passing Efficiency Rating. The only stats he lacked in were passing yards and touchdowns, although not by much, especially considering the fact he had almost 200 less passes than Matt Ryan. Sometimes I think the Nassib hate is almost this contrived thing where he isn't flashy enough and doesn't really wow anyone (looking at you Kurt Warner). When you look at the numbers, I don't really know how anyone can say that he isn't any better than a 4th round pick. Makes no sense to me. For a little bit more, here are some excerpts from the NFL.com draft profiles of both Matt Ryan and Ryan Nassib: [U]Matt Ryan:[/U] "More of a short-to-intermediate passer, but he does a good job of going through progressions and is limber enough to make those throws while on the move...Has very good game-management skills, making quick decisions while generally showing proper judgment...Lacks the arm strength to challenge the deep secondary, as his long throws tend to flutter or hang up long enough for defenders to attack the ball in flight...[B]Weakest area of his game is exposed when he attempts to fire the deep ball, as the pass tends to lack accuracy[/B] [U]Ryan Nassib:[/U] "Strong, quick release, gets the ball out in a hurry on hitches and slants...Accurate to all parts of the field when in rhythm...Comes off initial read, can look off safety to come to the opposite side of the field...Competitive player who directs his teammates well and does not give up on any game...Must be more consistent transferring weight through the throw, relies on his strong arm at times and comes up short on outs or sails throws over the middle.
