BIG ask from him vs #1 national secondary and with a decent WR corps, but really not All American types to kill that type of an elite secondary. They have 3 5*s and we are starting 3 3*s.He has played better so far in the first 2 games. Hopefully he has a career day Saturday.
The biggest problem from JG is that he misses the small/easy things which would allow him easily advance up the QB ladder to somewhere between decent and good.JG was off on his accuracy against South Carolina and that's definitely hurt his numbers, but he's been really good the first two games with his decision making and not hanging onto the ball too long. He made some noticeable improvement in his accuracy from game 1 to game 2. It'll be interesting to see how he does against UGA. Year two in the same offense seems to be working out for him so far.
FYI as soon as JG hits the middle or lower portion of this list your stats will be no longer be accepted by the homers and vigorously challenged and countered with things like "big time throws", "spin velocity compared to a laden swallows velocity while carrying two coconuts", and the time tested and nite post approved "too many OC's".
Not meaning to be confrontational, but why do you feel that ESPN's subjective, proprietary algorithm is the true QB rating? It assumes quite a bit, talking about the "context" of a play, how a qb impacted running plays (how do they know what was called and what adjustments a qb made for the direction of a running play or blocking adjustments?), etc. This description from ESPN about their rating listed below is enough of a source for variation to make the rating no more useful than an eyeball test for me:
"This process of determining the EPA, dividing credit among the QB and his teammates and then determining the weight of play occurs for every play in which a quarterback is involved. All of these plays are then added together and divided by the total number of clutch-weighted plays to produce a per-play measure of QB efficiency."
