In 1980, McMahon was 3.3 standard deviations above the mean for passer rating.

Wow, Jaren

Good data. I'd like to see best season, regardless of class year.

Found it. 30th overall. That puts him around 2014 Christian Stewart efficiency,

Wait what? Jaren Hall 156 against very good competition. Christian Stewart 138 against poor competition

You're right. I was erroneously looking at total yards, not pass efficiency.

snowbird

Nice. McMahon was a cheat code. 176 is an absurd number for a 1st yr starter.

McMahon didn’t have DB blitzes and LBs couldn’t really cover

If it was so simple, QBs from McMahon’s era @ other schools would have similar #

McMahon's records started falling just a couple years after he left.

We're talking about pass efficiency, not records. Did other QBs match his eff %?

reddead

12/3/21 9:01pm

How would it be so simple when most teams didn’t know or want to pass?

My point was teams were geared for run stopping. Almost 0 rush ends etc

Sorry. I didn't realize your argument was meant to diminish his accomplishments. My bad. I'll move along. Enjoy.

Baylor Romney was triple that, fwiw.

DieHarder

12/3/21 1:40pm

Baylor Romney had a season as the starter?

kimdaddy35

12/3/21 1:47pm

Technically Hall didn't have a full season either.

ochobeeguy

12/3/21 1:57pm

10 games vs 1 1/2 games?

kimdaddy35

12/3/21 2:11pm

You obviously don't know what technically means...

ochobeeguy

12/3/21 4:25pm

Baylor’s QB rating was 450? You sure you’re looking at right stat?

He’s been good, but I will point out that there has been significant inflation in passing efficiency over the years

150

I’d rather have $1 in 1982 than $1 in 2021. A 150 rating doesn’t get you as much today as it did 40 years ago

Odysseus

12/3/21 1:51pm

It gets you 10-2 and in the discussion for a NY6

Name one QB from BYU in the 80s with a 140 passing efficiency

Big12Yfan

12/3/21 3:46pm

I’m not sure what you are arguing. I pointed out why comparing passer ratings across eras doesn’t tell us much. To

Odysseus

12/3/21 4:08pm

They aren’t changing the formula to inflate stats for current players

Big12Yfan

12/3/21 4:51pm

But that isn't fair in regards to BYU who was waaay ahead of the curve. When Wilson and McMahon played it was the only

kimdaddy35

12/3/21 2:15pm

Yeah, it’s tough to compare across eras - but that also makes it fun

Odysseus

12/3/21 3:43pm

It got us 6-6 in 1993 and 10-2 this year. Reverse inflation I'd say.

Y05

12/3/21 4:43pm

I guess we could talk about how many wins each QB had in their first season as a starter

Odysseus

12/3/21 5:46pm

For example, Young’s rating in ‘82 put him at #6 in the country while Hall’s is outside the top 20

Odysseus

12/3/21 1:50pm

Gets me excited to see how much better he will be next season with...

icecougar

12/3/21 1:45pm

So, he's a John Walsh, but with legs. I like it

Bob Vance

12/3/21 1:46pm

Not a bad thing, since Walsh was pretty good

Mabuhay Coug

12/3/21 2:51pm

Now imagine him against Troy, Liberty, UMASS and South Alabama instead of

Big12Yfan

12/3/21 1:51pm

Impressive, Jaren…going to be an all time great if he stays on this pace!

BlooCoog

12/3/21 2:20pm

Great list of players!

Mabuhay Coug

12/3/21 2:50pm

yeah but he underthrows on long passes

All-American

12/3/21 2:52pm

That nullified interception last game kept him just over John Walsh.

Bee Chunder

12/3/21 3:01pm

What about QBR? It Factors in running. Jaren and Taysom would be higher.

LOL. Why is Wilson 79 on the list? 1st year starter, SMH.
