Completion percentage and QBs

Here's an another interesting article by the National Football Post's Wes Bunting on using a quarterback's completion percentage in his senior season as a tool in assessing whether he will be a star or a bust in the NFL.

And in case you are curious ...

Tarvaris Jackson's completion percentage in his senior season: 60.9.

Sage Rosenfels' completion percentage during his senior season: 51.5

(Keep in mind Jackson was playing against lesser competition at Alabama State, while Rosenfels was taking on the Oklahoma's and Nebraska's of the college football world at Iowa State.)

NHV:

Thanks for that. I find it odd how George keeps stumping for Childress to sign him. He must have fond memories of his one year with the Vikings.

And I can't imagine how George looks these days at 41. He wasn't exactly a guy who kept his body in great shape when he was 31.
