But by no means am I comparing PM to JC overall.


Is there a gump qb in the modern NFL we can compare him too that has started a single season?

Nothing comes to mind in the past 10, 20, 30 years.

No, but he will probably tell his grandkids how he was an NFL starter for several years and they will probably be proud of that and happy with the millions he earned in the league, some of which may make it to them eventually.
Hey, that's fine. I really hope Jason has some success in the NFL. He seems like a good enough guy. But the OP trying argue that JC is a good NFL quarterback by comparing him to Peyton Manning based on this one stat is ridiculous.

JC went a tme period in which he attempted a team record of 271 passes without an INT
So he threw where no one could catch it.

I didn't take this as saying he is as good as PM. Nobody is that stupid. He is just saying he is comparable to PM on this stat.

Is he a successful quarterback? Does he win a lot of games? Has he been to the Superbowl? Has he won a Superbowl? The answer to all of those questions is No. Yeah, I'd say it's worthless. That stat has in no way, shape or form helped him or his team win games. It's as simple as that.


The time period in which he threw those consecutive passes, the skins were 6-1, so yeah I'd think not throwing picks help them win games.

It's funny how when people compare individual players, some dummy wants to bring up Super Bowl rings. Winning championships is a TEAM accomplishment and has nothing to do with individual comparisons.

Dude, the one and only thing i suggested is that it's a remarkable feat to throw 271 passes in the NFL without a pick. That's backed up by the fact that only one other person in NFL history can say they've threw more passes without a pick

I merely brought up PM b/c he's regarded as the best QB in the league, and he hasnt come close to pulling that off.

And you say it's a worthless stat which is crazy.

No he isn't. The reason Campbell doesn't throw many INTs is because he is scared to take chances, not because he is an accurate passer or safe with the ball. If you add in fumbles he is pretty close to even between TDs and turnovers.

His completion rate sux too. Just tells me he can't put the ball anywhere close to anyone.

I know that's what he's saying and I think it's ridiculous. In this stat, he's obviously far superior to PM. That fact in and of itself shows that the stat might have an overinflated sense of importance. I mean doesn't Brett Favre prove that the stat doesn't mean as much as you would think by himself? That guy throws INT's all the time, yet he is a great QB.

Right now JC is NOT a good NFL quarterback. Now maybe that was his O-line's fault, maybe not. Maybe it's the players around him, maybe not. You could really argue it either way and it would probably be partly true.

I think he has the potential to be a good quarterback, but he's only shown it flashes. He's not consistent at all and until he does, this whole discussion is silly.

Exactly, JC has 38 INTs in his 5 year career, Peyton Manning threw 28 in one year. PM has had 2.8 % of his passes picked and JC 2.3 of his passes picked.


The Colts should go after this guy.

I'm not surprised that none of these things matter to you...

Great individuals lead their team to those accomplishments and is probably the most important determining factor in whether one is considered "great" or not. You can argue til your blue in the face that only individual stats matter in comparisons, but the majority of the people out there don't give a shite about that. It's about whether they won or not. That's all that matters.

So, were you watching the Skins' games during this streak to come to this conclusion, or did you just come up with something in your head to discredit the record?

So uhm, is there any quarterbacks from Bama starting in the NFL?

No?

You don't say..

And btw, the deadskins suck.

Campbell was put in a lose lose situation. It's not that hard to comprehend.

Nobody said it didn't mattered, just said it's stupid to bring up team accomplishments when talking about individual accomplishments.

So what you're saying is that Trent Dilfer was a great QB but Dan Marino wasn't , right?

Dilfer has a super bowl, Marino doesn't.

LOL, PM plays in scheme that is conducive to throwing TDs. JC doesnt.


so true.

now, i wonder why that is. why in the WORLD would they scheme an offense away from passing?

bottom line about this thread, an Auburn fan brought up a positive note about a previous auburn QB. bama fans are trying to explain to him why this stat means nothing... (because that's what Bama fans are SUPPOSED to do).. and then we got into another rivalry thread.

true bottom line? i hate auburn.
