I don't agree with your methodology. Regarding passing, passing percentages and yards are more important than the TD/Pick ratio, unless the number of picks is too large. Many teams will run for TD's after long passing plays or good passing series that get close to the goal line.
At UNLV, I found article saying that Sneed had good games in various games. That included Fresno. He was 8-16 for 129 with 1 passing TD and no interceptions, in a 48-20 win. Hawaii was obviously a good game. 20-38 is a good game, subject to the picks. 21-41 with 2 TD's and a win is a good game. 10-19 may have been a good game. 20-37 was obviously a good game. 11-18 for 166 and a win is a pretty good game. 20-43 on 3 TD's is obviously a good game.
Sneed also set AZ high school passing records. "Arizona high school records, including career touchdown passes (87) and career passing yards (8,377)"
GG, you are too biased and football challenged to even provide good stats. 2/3 good games in college. Get out of here with that BS.
Neither one has a good career passing percentage (sneed 52% career; murray 49%). In football anything below 55% is not considered good, but that doesn’t mean the stats overall aren’t good as one could pass for a large number of yards per attempt or throw for a large TD to Int ratio, etc.; neither one gets good yardage (sneed 5.6 per attempt; murray 7.0). There’s a lot of argument about what the cutoff is for YPA, but most I’ve seen say an average of 7.5 per attempt. Neither one has a good career TD-Int ratio. In any comparison the standard (in this case of ‘good’) of measurement is irrelevant, since all parties are held to the same standards. By being liberal with your definition you’ll merely allow all QBs to have a larger number of good games, which will still show both murray and sneed to have fewer good games in comparison to the entire population of QBs. Neither one of them, when compared to stats of all other starting college QBs, would have numbers that would be comparably considered good.
No bias here. No reason to be biased. Nothing to be biased about. The statistics for both QBs are sub-par. Sneed did have a good spring game, so that’s a start. He probably needed a confidence booster, so that might spark him. He also has good coaches around him that can I.D. his weaknesses.
AZGriz: sneed’s season stats at Ft. Collins are worse than at UNLV. Maybe FC had a bad OL and WRs too?
All passing stats are subject to the players surrounding the QB. Over time and as the competition increases, however, they become more concrete. Both sneed and murray have about 15 starts and have also gotten reps off the bench, so while they still have time to develop, they’ve also had ample time to exhibit what their abilities are and neither one has stood out. At this point average would be a good description of sneed and murray and they still need to prove themselves if they’re ever going to be considered good.
