CatzWillRise said:Fair enough. I haven't seen Sneed play, but based on his combined collegiate stats:
162 - 314 (51.6%) 12 TDs and 13 INTs (these numbers pulled from a Cat poster who noticed some JC stats for Sneed were transposed, i.e. he had more completions than attempts in a game or two)
vs Murray
167 - 338 (49.4%) 21 TD 17 INT
It's hard to say based on their body of work that Sneed is significantly better, but obviously Griz fans like what they see, have seen both Sneed and Murray play (albeit Sneed in a scrimmage).
Murray was 120-233 last year (51.5%), 1597 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs, which was a big step up from his freshman year, but obviously needs to get that % up into the mid 50s at least this year, and I hope he can throw for 2000 yards. That's what I feel it will take to get us tot he playoffs.
Sneed will probably do that in 7 games.
I'll go on record to say Sneed "looked" like a huge upgrade in passing over Murray....but it was a spring scrimmage against a mixed defense and a lot of 2nd teamers ....so until he shows me he's a gamer and can do that in an actual gsme I'll reserve judgement. His college and JUCO stats are not good IMO. I'm hopeful that he thrives in this system with the stud receivers and has a newcomer of the Year type of season.
