Hey, SD. Just out of curiosity what was your opinion of Shurmer's play-calling last year? Do you think that having an inexperienced 6'1.5" rookie QB is going to somehow grow him a set of play-calling nads? Or do you think, as I do, that he's going to handcuff RGIII by calling runs and 3 yard outs to TE"s on EVERY first and second down in the first half, leaving the rookie with the same impossible 3rd and longs that he set McCoy up with last year? That was the norm. The guy didn't move the ball all year unless he was down two scores and
had to throw it. His play-calling to me was the worst thing about the 2011 team, without a close second. The predictability of his offense was embarrassing and dysfunctional. I think your love for RGIII and dislike of McCoy is blinding you to the most glaring problem this team had last year. How well do you think Tom Brady and the Pats would do if Belichick regularly called either a run or a 3 yard out on
every 1st and 2nd down on
every first half play? They would suck. That's why HE doesn't do that. Why would Shurmer? And don't say talent. When your talent is suspect, your play-calling needs to be MORE creative, not less. The alternative is rudderless suck. When your talent isn't great, you'd better call plays like freaking Bill Walsh on his best day. If you don't, then you're TRYING to lose. Did I just explain how we only won 4 games? I think I did. Shurmer's manufactured 3 and outs killed our defense by continually putting them back onto the field, and they killed our skill position players on offense by putting them into too many low percentage, high risk situations on 3rd down.
To me, McCoy is an unknown because Shurmer butchered the offense in 2011. I suppose a keen talent evaluator could still evaluate Colt's 2011 performance even with a seemingly weak supporting cast in a horrible offense, but only by comparing it to other QB's performance on 3rd and long. Maybe that's what Heckert meant when he said you could still evaluate the QB. I don't have that keen QB eye that some on this board can claim, but the hard evidence of Shurmer's horrible play-calling is compelling.
Either Shurmer is smart and used his predictable play-calling to sabotage the season so we'd get a better draft position, or he's as dumb as a post as a play-caller and Uncle Mike hasn't taken that privilege away yet. Two guesses as to which one I fear it is.
To the OP. Under 6.185... 6'2" exactly.

We also see that the chance of having a great season in touchdowns per attempt decreases each time weight increases. We didn’t see this trend in the first quarterback graph, however, so I’d say that that is just a mere coincidence.
I thought there was really a vegas line, dude. Put me down for "I don't care because I know what he can do".
This last part is only true because Jamarcus was so bad he got benched too early to skew this stat. Seriously, makes a statement about the ability to stand and deliver in the pocket to a degree I guess.

Not my comments , everything after the quote was the article .
stat fodder for the Prosecutor .
Me I like the eyeball test and the smell test ., he clears em both like like a pole vaulter setting a new World record and pushing the bar a clear two feet above the old mark.
The best QB in the world was Joe montana .
RG3 is the same size with more speed a better arm enough smarts to pursue a law degree , and a rep that his football acumen beats his book smarts which is quire a feat considering he graduated in four years with a Masters while posting a 3.67 GPA.
