Funny thing I heard ESPN Mike/Mike talking about Tebow's comp% and Greenie mentioned Eli Manning comp% as a rook.
It reminded me of a post I had in another forum:
4 sub-50% comp QBs in this first 8(ish) starts that turned out to be pretty good:Elway, Bledsoe, McNabb, Eli Manning-
2 have won a SB, 3 have been to the SB, and all are multiple pro-bowlers:
(Never mind the wins and the 9 rushing TDs and the 615 rushing yards and the 1st downs that go along with those yards)
Tebow:
46.9 comp % 1,363 yards 12 TDs 4 INTs 79.8 QB rating
(these stats haven't been updated since Nov.19th)
Theirs:
12 starts 49.1% 948 yards 8 TDs 7 INTs 5.9 YPA 77.8 QB rating
13 starts 49.9% 2494 yards 15 TDs 15 INTs 5.8 YPA 65.0 QB rating
9 starts 48.2% 1043 yards 6 TDs 9 INTs 5.3 YPA 55.4 QB rating
11 starts 47.5 1663 yards 7 TDs 14 INTs 6.4 YPA 54.9 QB rating
