Grier played for a coach that threw the ball more often. Over the course of their high school careers Grier threw almost twice as many passes as Franks (1,264 to 661). Comparing totals is misleading in this case. In order to get a better comparison you would have to break it down per pass.
Grier 16.4 yards/attempt
Franks 19.6 yards/attempt
Grier TD for every 6.48 passes
Franks TD for every 7.59 passes
Grier INT for every 46.81 passes
Franks INT for every 38.88 passes
Grier 70.2% completion rate
Franks 56.9% completion rate
Grier 139.3 QB rating
Franks 124.9 QB rating
They don't appear to be that far apart. Of course, this doesn't take into account the talent level of the team they were on and the talent level of their opposition.
That completion rate is HUGE and you know it. Trying to extrapolate stats out when there's such a giant difference is disingenuous. Par for the course. They are miles apart. Time will tell though.
