Again, the rating system is stupid and absurd. Some of the ratings aren't deserved here, and for what the OVR is for BOTH, HOW?????? can Donny give Decker an 80 something with the rest of the stuff he has?

Yea, I wouldn't place Foles above Luck yet.

This post caused me to download the spread sheet and I'm hoping somehow that "66" is his medium, not deep. I even went to check FBGRatings to see the scouts take and it has RG3's medium the lowest with an 82 deep which I can jive with but I definitely can't see his deep acc being in the 60s. WTF Moore?

Like someone else stated, RG3's deep ball is his best throw, Donny Moore is trolling Redskin fans, lol.

I understand. His rookie year he had great results with the deep ball but he also had one of the lowest rates of attempts on deep passes. Mostly playaction bombs to open WRs to the tune of like 7 tds and 1 int. Last year could be chalked up to being injured/recovering, Garcon was out for some time, defense was awful, etc but you cant really ignore the results.

The deep pass isn't really completed at a high rate anyway, maybe the game would play better with more guys rated this way

Couldn't even imagine the numbers Luck would put up under Chip Kelly

Probably because Luck never had a 7 TD game and didn't throw for 27 TDs against 2 INTs last season?

Foles had a better completion ratings, higher yards per completion, better passer rating, and threw 4 more TDs on 140 less completions, and sat out in the 4th QTR against the Raiders. . . not to mentioned he played 3 or 4 less games than Luck . . .but yeah, why would he ever be similarly rated?

Geno Smith has 19 higher deep accuracy. I understand he had a poor year but does one bad year drop your accuracy by like 20? Wasn't it a high 70 or low 80 to start last year? After his great year? And not all of those deep passes were wide-open. He was throwing to a 4th-string WR pressed into Slot duty that has bricks for hands, and still sometimes had double coverage. He still had to get it past/through safeties, something even Tom Brady couldn't do at times last year.

I like most of the overalls, and generally, the players should play well. It's just a few ratings that make me go "wtf?"

And on Foles: He had 140 less completions? That should show you something about the talent of his run game. He had a top rushing attack in the league, not to mention the receiving threats from the backfield. Luck had very little run game last year. He was forced to sling it around, something Foles didn't have to do. Not to mention, the no-huddle makes you look better when you're facing a tired defense with a great scheme (something I think will be severely hampered but not totally stopped this next year).
