Among QBs with 145+ attempts, Bailey was 18th in Attempts, 32 in QB Rating, 20th in TDs, has 30th most Turnover worthy plays, 25th in Yards, and 48th in Y/A, and like 51st in Adjusted Y/A... Which Imo is a better metric than most of these basic stats.
Just in a simple Adjusted Y/A. Sayin, Mestemaker, Dante Moore, Byrum Brown, Chambliss, Carr, Sorsby, Demond Williams, Colton Joseph, Angeli, Maiava, Dru Deshields, Fifita, Collandrea, Kevin Jennings, Houser, Odom, Mensah, Barnett, Cameran Brown (gsu), Raiola, Hoover, Ty Simpson, Becht, Arch, JC French (GaSo) all rank higher than Him. ... Guys slightly below would be Marcel Reed, Sellers, McCown, Underwood, Weigman....
In terms of Turnover worthy plays the only guys that had more and are returning this year are Marcel Reed, Hoover, JKS, Mateer, Maiava, Bear Bachmeier, Avery Johnson, Lagway, Weigman.... And guys with just fewer are Mensah, Odom, Heintschel, Arch, McCown, Simpson, Sellers,etc.
Guys with better Pass rating are Sayin, mestemaker, moore, Brown, Carr, Demond, Mensah, Raiola, Sorsby, Maiava, Fifita, McCown, Odom, Simpson, Deshields... Guys with slightly lower are Hoover, Jennings, Colandrea, Houser, Arch, Colton Joseph, Weigman...
Guys with better Accurate Throw % are Sayin, Moore, Raiola, Mestemaker, Demond, Mensah, McCown, Jennings, Fifita... Guys slightly lower are Brown, Angeli, Simpson, Houser, Chambliss, Colandrea...
And I only listed expected returning players here.
When We got Cam Ward we expected him to be a top 10 returning QB, and I expected him to be top 5 at least. When we got Beck, I'd bet most nationally thought he'd be right around a top 10 QB returning in CFB with maybe the injury serving as the primary reason he wouldn't have been. Where do you think CJ Bailey ranks purely in a returning QB ranking in CFB? Cause I'll tell you it **** sure isn't in the top 10.
