Ok, here are the stats of a well-known QB for his first
three years (completion %, TD, INT, Rating). Predict his
fourth year stats and what became of him:

55.9 15 13 73.2
63.7 7 9 77.3
59.9 17 21 73.1

These numbers are very similar or close to MANY QB's who turned out
great...what's the point and how can you predict this if you don't know who
he plays with?

And similar to QB's who turned out terrible...I don't get it either....the
first three years numbers on QB's who became great really doesn't say a lot
if you look at all of them.

A good QB who marries a Playboy centerfold and plays for a crappy team, gets
the piss pounded out of him will get so injured he has to take a bunch of
steroids to heal and fails a drug test and never does play well again.
Hmmmmm, could be Mark Sanchez.

else, but who knows, anything could happen.
