Matthew Stafford

[Texasfrog]

I see where he had a solid Spring and a very good Spring game. I know it's Spring but he looks like he'll have a breakout year for Georgia.

He was the MVP against Va Tech in the Bowl game as a true-freshman so that wasnt bad.

I still think he'll be the best All-Around QB out of the State of Texas during the modern era and that's even including Vince Young.

What was that you said again? Huh?

Vince Young?

Did I hear you correctly?

It's okay...I understand that some people get Reggie McNeal and Vince Young mixed up.

You must be talking about Reggie..

Dude, I was totally with you until that last line. I'm still adjusting the resolution on my monitor because there is no way I read that right. Stafford may very well be the best pocket passer the state of Texas has ever produced... that would not surprise me in the least, but Stafford will not in his best year ever come close to what Vince was and is. Vince is revolutionizing football in many ways. He may not be the pioneer when discussing his breed of QB, but Vince is on a level of pure athleticism that few QBs have ever attained and a level for which Matt Stafford can never hope to see.

Stafford's a good kid and an outstanding QB. He's going to do great things at Georgia and at the next level, but nobody deserves to be compared to Vince. That's not fair to Matt and it's frankly a stupid thought.

[Texasfrog]

Dont worry.. I knew mentioning Vince Young and that there might actually be another QB out there was great ability that could even remotely match Vince Young would cause cluster bombs to rain down.;)

Here, let me throw another one at y'all while I'm at it. Matthew Stafford has a stronger and more accurate "ARM" than Vince Young and when it comes to throwing. Matthew Stafford "right now" is a more polished QB than Vince Young.

Now, when it comes to being an "athlete" and able to improvise on the move and do great things that look like "magic" on the field. Than, Vince Young all the way.

Let's give Matthew Stafford some pretty good credit though. As a true freshman he did alright and was even Bowl MVP against Va Tech and who knows.. He might have a National Title at Georgia before it's all said and done and I've already read some NFL Scout raves that he is a future #1 pick in the NFL. So, it's not like Stafford is some second-hand scrub.

[jtk1519]

Here, let me throw another one at y'all while I'm at it. Matthew Stafford has a stronger and more accurate "ARM" than Vince Young and when it comes to throwing.

Ummm... is this "let's say crazy stuff" day? Stafford completed 52% of his passes last year and threw 7 TDs to 13 INTs. Vince, starting in the NFL as a rookie, completed 52% of his passes and threw 12 TDs to 13 INTs. Vince's worst year in college still saw him complete 57% of his passes with 6 TDs to 7 INTs and much like Stafford, he was sharing time with another QB.

BTW, Kyle Boller has a stronger arm than Vince. Thus, Boller must pwn Vince.

UH, Let see here. Matthew Stafford was a "TRUE FRESHMAN" that was basically thrown to the wolves from Day 1 in the freaking SEC. He had to learn on the fly in the SEC as basically a High school kid. He did pretty good ending up leading Georgia to a Bowl victory of Va TEch and being the Bowl Game MVP all as a True Freshman.;)

What did Vince Young do his true freshman year ? Oh ya, he was REDSHIRTED. His completion percentage his true freshman was 0% because he was on the bench & playing on the Texas scout team with the walk-ons.

Go read what Coach Richt says about Matthew Stafford. Basically it's , "Last year Stafford didnt know he head from a hole in the ground but this year he is a totally different player and he is the TEAM LEADER that knows the offense."

Oh by the way... Matthew Stafford plays in a much more complicated offense at Georgia than the "zone read" that Vince Young played in at Texas.

You can also throw out all these QB's names and blah blah trying to be really smart. I can also throw out names like Elway, Marino, Kelly, Montana, Brady and Manning.

Like I said, I'm not knocking Vince Young. He has proven he is a great QB and I hope he goes and has another 12 or so great NFL seasons.

I think Matthew Stafford has the high caliber ability that Vince Young has. Just their styles are different. But, both are great in their styles of QB'ing.;)

[slorch]

everybody knows if Stafford was any good, he'd have gone to Texas.;)

Article from S.I.

Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
High school: Dallas (Texas) Highland Park

Think Bulldogs fans are more than a little excited about the potential of this 6-3, 210-pound, strong-armed Texan?

So what's all the fuss about? Stafford entered Georgia in the spring after throwing for 3,991 yards and 38 touchdowns his senior year. He was the nation's sixth-ranked player by Rivals.com, and has drawn comparisons to John Elway, even from Elway's former coach, Dan Reeves, who saw Stafford in the spring.

While Georgia coach Mark Richt likes what he sees, he isn't getting too carried away. "He has a tremendous arm," Richt said. "He's very intelligent, is trying to learn what to do, trying to keep pace as far as just understanding our system. His biggest downfall right now. We can't play a guy based on potential right now

Note: John Elway never led Stanford to a Bowl game and his true freshman year he passed for just under 600 yards with -33 rushing. His completion percentage was also in the 50%.

Vince Young "RED-SHIRT YEAR" at Texas: That's after being on campus for over a year and playing with the scout team for one season.

84-143- (57%)- 1,155 yards- 6 tds - 7 ints.

Holiday Bowl: 6-14-15 yards passing - 0 tds - 0 ints.

Matthew Stafford "True Freshman year" at Georgia: Now, this is the SEC which even you say is tougher than the Big-12 week to week.;)

135- 256 -(52%)- 1,749 yards- 7 tds- 13 ints.

Chick-Fil-A-Bowl: 9-21-129 yds- 1 td- 1 int.

So, comparing the stats of a "TRUE FRESHMAN" vs "REDSHIRT FRESHMAN" and comparing the Conferences "Big-12" vs "SEC."

I would say Matthew Stafford did pretty darn good for being thrown into the fire as a true-freshman in what is argued as the toughest football Conference (SEC).

Let's see how he (Stafford) does after a whole year of learning the Georgia offense like Vince Young had when he "Red-shirted.";)

Also:

Matthew Stafford led Georgia too 3 straight wins against Top #25 teams (Auburn, Ga Tech and Va Tech) which was the first time in Georgia history that a true-freshman QB has ever done that. "True freshman." !!

Against the Univ-Fla they lost 21-14 and Stafford went (13-33-151 yds- 0 tds- 2 ints). Not bad for a "TRUE FRESHMAN" going against the future National Champs defense. I mean especially if you compare the "HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER- Troy Smith) stats againt the same Florida defense ( 4-14-35 yds- 0 td- 1 int).

What 3 Top #25 teams did Vince Young beat his "True Freshman year" at Texas ? None, he was sitting on the bench playing against the Scout team. What Bowl Game was Vince Young "MVP" of his True Freshman year" at Texas? None, he was sitting the bench playing against the Scout team.

Here is one for ya.. What 3 Top #25 teams did Vince Young beat his "Red-shirt year" at Texas ?

Ps. Again, I'm not a Vince Young "hater." I think he is a great young QB that has done super things on the field. I thought he had great ability ever since I saw him play in High school.

I just also think Matthew Stafford has equal ability as Vince Young just with a different style "Pro-style" vs "Zone-read" that Vince Young mostly had played in.

[Texasfrog]

everybody knows if Stafford was any good, he'd have gone to Texas.;)

Ya, I know..;) I mean I'm a huge Texas fan but if you mention Vince Young and actually say another player might be on his level "As a player" than whooaaa look-out.

Trying to compare the stats of a "True Freshman QB in the SEC" and the stats of a "Red-shirt QB in the Big-12" is comical.:rolleyes:

I say what Stafford did at Georgia as a true-freshman was pretty darn impressive especially taking them to a Bowl victory over a scrappy Va Tech team. What Bowl game did Vince Young win as a true-freshman ? The Scout team bowl game.;)

[#1DawgFan]

I'll believe that a QB is better than Vince Young when I see it. Vince was the best overall college QB that I have seen.

[jakerz]

When Stafford wins a National Championship, he can be a sentence below Vince.

And, I believe the step from college to the pros is a bit tougher than HS to college.

[jtk1519]

UH, Let see here. Matthew Stafford was a "TRUE FRESHMAN" that was basically thrown to the wolves from Day 1 in the freaking SEC. He had to learn on the fly in the SEC as basically a High school kid.

Ummm... Vince started last year in the NFL... the highest level of competition known to professional football. He was thrown to the wolves in the NFL... the highest level of competition known to professional football. Vince young... the same guy who was supposed to be a WR in college and would take at least three years just to be able to be good enough to suck in the NFL... the highest level of competition known to professional football. Stafford started 54% of UGA's games an was benched at one point in the season for sucking. Vince started 69% of his teams games in the NFL... the highest level of competition known to professional football, and won the NFL's Rookie of the Year. There is no basis for comparison... at all. Both are from Texas... that's it.

BTW, don't give me the John Elway line. Stafford has always been compared to John Elway. I saw Stafford play as a soph. at Highland Park and coach Allen called him the "next John Elway" back then. That's old and the fact still remains... Vince >>>>> Elway. Holla.

Oh, and this masterful performance from Stafford in UGA's Spring game... he went 6-12. He completed 50% of his passes... in a f'n Spring game. That's so amazing they should just rename the QB position "Stafford" because that is so overwhelmingly awesome.

[svhorns]

Vince Young sucks...

Gee, now you want to start judging players by Spring stats.. Haha, I was at a couple of Texas Spring games when Vince played in them and he wasnt some superstar in them bro.

Next, I know I'm not the first to compare the young Mr. Stafford to Elway. I'm simply pointing out that many people from the High school, college and even Pro level are seeing similiar comparisons between Stafford and Elway.
I think that shows much respect to the young Mr. Stafford to be mention in the same breath as John Elway when it comes to playing QB.

The last time I looked John Elway had 2 Superbowl rings and is a NFL HOFamer.;)

Next, no one is knocking Vince Young their "Mr. Vince Young jockstrap." I'm simply saying that Stafford has the ability to be a superstar on the same level as Vince Young.

You trying to compare "stats" between a player that was "redshirted" and one that was a "true freshman" on top of one playing in the SEC and one in the Big-12. That's insane.

Vince Young did nothing his true-freshman year at Texas but be a Scout team superstar. Matthew Stafford beat several Top #25 teams and was the Bowl MVP. Wow, there is some real stats for you look at while your getting all hung up on Spring Game stats.:rolleyes:

I think Matthew Stafford is on the verge on being a college superstar that is going to start making his own legacy. I think even his coach (Richt) thinks so also since he even states Stafford this year compared to last year is "night and day" and that Stafford (true somp) is the "TEAM LEADER" for the Univ-Georgia a SEC team.

Maybe you know more about Stafford then his own college coach. Oh, by the way. You saw Stafford in High school. That's great !! I saw Vince Young a few times in High school in person. I saw a Katy High school team make Vince Young look like a junior High QB that didnt know his head from a hole in the ground also. I think he was like 4-20 in that game with about 40 yards passing and maybe 50 yards rushing after Katy sacked him about 6 or 7 times in the game.

Again, no one is knocking Vince Young. I'm simply stating that Stafford has the same upper echlon ability and he is own pace himself to be a Top NFL draft pick or maybe some of those NFL gurus are just blowing smoke.

Dude are you for real ?? John Elway is a 2 time Super Bowl winner, MVP, NFL MVP, countless Pro Bowls and took Denver to several other Super Bowl games and is a NFL Hall-of-Famer after what... Playing like 15 years in the NFL.

Your already going to go ahead and say Vince Young is greater then John Elway huh...???:rolleyes:

Also, you saying that Stafford sucked and was benched.. Wow, that's amazing huh. Stafford was a freaking true-freshman playing in the SEC. He also beat several Top #25 teams and was the Bowl MVP.

Again, what did Vince Young do his true freshman year ?? Hmmmmmm..

Hey, what did Vince Young do his red-shirt freshman year ?? Hmmmmm...

Now, do you buy Vince Young jock-strap or just carry them around ? I'm wondering.

Here is my .02 regarding Stafford and Young, plus some more stuff at the end.

Even if Stafford goes on to win multiple championships at UGA and throws for a million yards and is drafted first in the NFL draft, he still will not be as legendary as Young. Why? Because he is a pocket passer, whereas Young's all-around athletic ability place him apart. Stafford will never be able to take a ball game into his hands alone like VY did. It's always going to depend on his blocking and recievers. That is what separates VY from even the very best pocket passers.

But, I sometimes wonder just how revolutionary VY will prove to be. I think that because VY is VY--there just aren't that many 6'5 guys with his moves and a rocket arm out there, whereas pocket passers are plentiful,and still produce in the NFL. When was the last time that the Super Bowl champion WASN'T led by a pocket passer? There will always be a need, IMHO, for a big tall guy who can chuck the ball a country mile under center.

I think that VY will have a fantastic pro career, I just question whether we will begin to see too many more like him-- for the simple reason that there aren't many like him out there.

Finally, everyone does need to remember one thing. There WILL be a QB better than VY. Maybe he is tearing up a jr high or pop warner field right now. Maybe he is just making all the other kids look silly on the playground some where. Maybe he is just a twinkle in some dad's eye. But there WILL be a player to come along and make the whole world think that they have never seen anything like him before. Just the nature of the game.

[KT2000]

VY's physical skills aren't what make him revolutionary to me.

I've been following VY since he was a sophomore in high school at Madison. What makes him truly special is his presence. Even back in 1999 as a raw high school sophomore talent with attitude issues, everyone knew who the best player was as soon as he stepped out on the field.

He has that uncanny command of any and everything around him that all of the great ones have had. He embraces the big stage. He wants the ball in his hands at crucial moments. His teammates are totally convinced they can't possibly lose if he's taking snaps.

The unmistakable sign of a truly special player in team sports is one who can not only effect games with his own athletic ability, but also elevate those around him. Vince has had this impact at every level.

His physical ability definitely sets him apart, but his more innate qualities are what make him truly special.

[North Texas Football]

Different style QB's in significantly different college offenses.....hard to compare. Both are products of Texas HS football and were extremely successful in HS, and I feel that's about all they have in common. VY is the biggest "gamechanger" in college football that I recall seeing.

[jtk1519]

I will say this... if Stafford had gone to South Carolina, Spurrier would have made him one of the most prolific QBs in college football history. As good a coach as Richt is, he and Bobo are not going to get the most out of Stafford in an SEC offense.

Hmmmm - don't know if I agreee totally with that. Richt did well at FSU and he made his two seniors - Green and DJ ?Shockley? - awfully good for the fairly mediocre skills they possessed. Spurrier is better, but it's close, very close.

Agreed. Richt has a wonderful program in place and a great young staff. Stafford will be fine and continue to develop.

[Texasfrog]

Stafford will be great at Georgia. Bar an injury or something like that. He'll be a high draft choice (Top #3).

He is an "elite Qb" that brings with him not only great QB skills but also seems to have that same QB/ team leadership skills that a team can rally behind and believe that "this dude will take us to victory."

PS. He took Georgia to a Bowl Victory over a pretty good Va Tech team as a "TRUE FRESHMAN." Plus, he took them to victories over Auburn and almost beat Florida.

Exactly. No disrespect to Green or Shockley but Richt has gotten so much production from far less talented kids that I'm not sure why anyone would worry about Stafford being there. I only wish we could keep kids like Stafford or Mallet in state but that's only because I'm selfish.;)

Yeah, we get stuck with this scrawny Dodge kid....:cool:

[Favpack]

Yeah, this is where other Texas schools are gonna have to get on Page 1. I don't blame Mallett for going north. Do you really see the 6'7 kid running the option for Fran? Tech is not quite there yet, Texas has Colt - and nobody else runs a pro set or is on the national scope. Better Mich. than OU.

I cant blame some of these kids for leaving State. I would love to see all of them stay in State and go to schools like Texas, A&M, Tech, TCU and ect. I still say that if we could keep all our football studs in Texas we would always have 2 or 3 teams in the Top #10 and we would have 4 in the Top #25 and be in the hunt for the National Title almost every year.

But, I can see why some of these kids go to schools like Michigan, Georgia, LSU, Miami , USC and others.

The real problem is there is to many great players in Texas. But, I still like having that problem.:D

[Texasfrog]

Great game today for Matthew Stafford beating Florida. Future NFL Top #3 draft pick if not #1.;);)
