JT5 and T Washington both top 5 passers

[stinger78]

In GA Tech history. JT5 is #6 at 4754 total yards, right behind Mike Kelley. Tevin is #10 at 3312, right behind Eddie McAshan.
This surprised me since CPJ “never threw the ball.”

There was not much dink and dunk on those teams. Mostly it was receivers in 1 on 1 coverage making big plays, so the yards per completion were great. I would guess the stats are a lot different if you compare completions or completion percentage.

Perspective..in those offenses we may have thrown it less than 20%-30% of the time.

i'm not sure how #6 and #10 equate to "top 5 passers"

Yeah, good catch. I started out looking at the top 5 and saw JT5 and TW in the top 10. My brain didn't change the headline. So, if a mod happens to read this and can edit the title to "top 10," I would appreciate it... especially before ClubSeats sees it. LOL.

They played in more games each year than many if the prior guys. So the comparisons aren't apples to apples

I’m not surprised. We haven’t had a ton of good QBs.

Pepper Rodgers, Billy Lothridge, Kim King, John Dewberry, Shawn Jones, Joe Hamilton, and George Godsey come to mind.

I’d include Justin Thomas’ name with them.

Joshua ööööing Nesbitt wants to have a word with you.

Also, most guys who start for ~3 years are going to be pretty high on such lists. Would imagine they don't rank very high on passing yards per game, though.

I’d take Josh Nesbitt over any of those 4th-and1 with the game on the line. That dude was going to by gosh get that 1 yard come Hell or Highwater.

4 in the last 40 years. We’re not exactly QB U.

The discussion is about passing, so I’m happy to sit down with him and talk about it. I doubt he will push back on the assertion that he wasn’t all that great in that department.

Dang it, mods.

The discussion was about passing. Your comment was not about passing. You said “We haven’t had a ton of good QBs.” Because, as we all know, you’re a total douchebag

I’m still talking about passing. I didn’t realize I needed to preface my response with “Staying on the original topic of passing…”

Joe Ham and George were prolific Tech passers. Otherwise no.
