1. wow -- check it out by attempts per game

I'm not surprised he's at the bottom on that, but I am surprised at the margin. That's quite the outlier.

Here's a stat where he's in the middle of the pack (despite playing in only nine games this year): http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=0&season=2011&seasonType=REG&d-447263-n=1&d-447263-o=2&statisticCategory=PASSING&d-447263-p=1&conference=null&d-447263-s=PASSING_SACKED

2. Whooooooo Ahhhhhhhh! Pump it.

3. Interesting. Tony Romo is the fourth highest rated QB based on the QB rating.

Also, if you use the QB rating, Tebow is in the middle. Not sure what to make of that.

4. Low turnover rate boosts that up. He only has 2 INT.

That's why ratings are such crap in my book.

[madinmaryland]

6. Huh? I thought a low turnover rate was a good thing.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. It is. It is what brings his passer rating up to the middle of the pack.

But it is also what always screwed Brett over every year.

5. By the actual overall rating (in the last column) he's 14th.

But he's dead last in passing yards, completion percentage, and pass attempts per game. He leads only in fewest interceptions.

A tribute to mediocrity, indeed.

12. that might change.

[Angleae]

13. 25th now.

[NCTraveler]

8. 14th qb rating

Fewest turnovers. 7-2 as a starter in 2011.

10. Nope...32nd.

9. Sorted by yards

Which isn't surprising because he has the fewest attempts on the list. I'm not a fan either but there are much better ways to criticize than this. YPA he is 21st which isn't great but he isn't having as bad as season as Blaine Gabbert is.

11. You have to consider his rushing yards too, but even then he's towards the bottom

The team has done well when the defense has shut down the opposing offense enough to sneak away with the win at the end. Vince Young was doing the same thing with Tennessee a few years ago. No one was claiming he was a great QB.
