38/2 TD pass to INT ratio...14 rushing touchdowns.
Winston - 24TDs to 17 picks
I had 2 sucknole fans tell me yesterday that winstons stats were better until the last couple games of the season when mariota "finally pulled away" and that him not being invited was just more of that ESPN/SEC/media/coaches/fans/vegas/ISIS/etc bias. So I played along, told them that if they were pretty close stat wise, or winston was ahead until the last 2-3 games (even though all of us knew he wasn't) that would have meant that in 3 weeks, mariotta doubled his TD's and ran for ~15 more TD's, while throwing no picks, meanwhile Winston would threw for 3 or 4 TD's but threw 15 picks as well. Then asked them in what world is a guy who throws for 15 picks better than a guy who throws for 20 TDs, no picks and rushes for 15 more in the same span better? At that point both tried to change course and say that winston wins while mariotta doesnt. I laughed at them for abandoning their argument, and then they called me "Mr encyclopedia" for having the audacity to provide real stats. One of them told me that winston threw for more yards (about 100 total) than mariotta did and had 1 less game so he was better. I said that winston's one less game was his fault so you cant "excuse" him for it when it was on purpose that he missed it. Then asked them to explain why they thought the mark of a better QB was someone who threw more passes but had half the TDs and 9 times the interceptions. Then they said I was just a hater and walked away.
I really wonder what they teach at that school, b/c it sure isn't critical thinking skills.
Edit - I almost forgot the quote of the convo -
"jameis will throw as many picks as he needs to, to win the game!"
