Does the backup QB really matter?

Vick and Jones combined to convert only 9 of 45 third downs on passing plays. That is only 20%


You have no clue what you are talking about.

You have to do passing first downs, because you know that there were multiple times where McCarron had 3rd and forever and they did a HB draw to gain field position. If you did the actual first down % of both then they would be MUCH closer. Plus Vick had 4 first downs from his legs that you're forgetting about. Nice little spin on those stats.
