TD/INT:
Purdy - 10/2, Stanley - 8/3

Passing Efficiency:
Purdy - 165.2 (19th), Stanley - 138.9 (65th)
*This would be Stanley's highest career passing efficiency of any season*

His QB rating vs UNI and Iowa is significantly better than Stanley's career numbers and his numbers this year

once again you confuse Quarterback rating with Passer rating. two entirely different metrics. You clearly don't understand the difference.

Total QBR:
Purdy - 72.1 33rd in the nation Stanley - 69.3 39th in the nation

Purdy ranked higher but not by much. I agree he has had a better season so far but not by much.

Imagine thinking Brock Purdy is only barely better than Nate Stanley

Rumor has it, Stanley missed the plane back to Iowa City and is still running for his life

I do have to ask if ESPN's total QBR is the best in the business why does Iowa use passing efficiency as their official statistic?

So you think Iowa is the standard you should go by? I find that interesting.

So, ignore the huge disparity on EVERY metric? Got it.

No. ISU uses passing efficiency as their official statistic. I've never seen a college team reference total QBR but I have to ask again:

None of the metrics are ignored. It just adds more such as the quality of opponents defense.

Look how hard you’re trying.

50. Iowa: Nate Stanley
Fresh off an ugly game against Michigan, Stanley has never really graded all too high in the PFF spectrum as the Iowa offense does a great job of scheming open the playmakers. Still, he’s had 10 passes dropped this year and another 10 throwaways as he’s just outside the top 70 in terms of adjusted completion percentage. His two highest-graded performances this season have come against Group of 5 teams but until Michigan, he hadn’t had a below-average game grade in some time. He’ll win games with relative ease with their defense but keeping the ball away from opposing defenses will be something he needs to improve on as he’s thrown an interception in seven of his last 12 conference games.

9. Iowa State: Brock Purdy
Following up an incredible season in 2018, Purdy is hitting his stride despite two losses to start the 2019 season. Much like the aforementioned Huntley, Purdy is dominant on throws targeted at least 10 yards downfield, completing 43-of-74 attempts for 945 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s thrown nine big-time throws on such attempts and is an exceptional athlete with the ball in his hands. He’s ripped off 246 yards on the ground so far this year including five touchdowns and six carries of at least 10 yards. With elite game grades in his bag, the sky is limit as the Cyclones push through Big 12 play this year.

I couldn't care less why they would use passing efficiency. Probably because it was created by ESPN not FOX sports.

So why do you think ESPN's stat they put together > the NCAA official one?

Did you read the explanation? ......... Evidently not.

I haven't read any explanation on why it's better no. Please provide that to me I'm very curious to see why you think Purdy is better than Stanley

 

[GTO]

Preety soon Hok fans will be comparing Stanley's weight vs. Purdy's weight. Anything that will give Stanley an edge.

Already provided. Never once have I stated that Stanley was better than Purdy. I just don't think the difference is near as much as many of you think. Purdy is a good young QB but is not among the "elite" QBs in college football. His arm strength is far from "elite".

You haven't provided any information and Purdy is a top 10 QB in college football. If you don't think that's elite I don't know what to tell ya

top 10 in the country? I'd say 4th best in the BIG12
