It says games started. They list back-ups as having a game played as long as they dressed. He pretty much did not play at all until the starter got hurt. Trust me, he only really played 6 games.
Stats I would use, IMO, TD to INT, yards per attempt, and % of passes intercepted. All a much better measuring stick than QB rating. INTS don't effect QB rating enough, and completion % plays too large a role.
jeez, can anymore giants get hurt
TD to INT is one of the most important stats, that and completion percentage....the rest is filler for the back of a trading card.
yards per attempt? I don't think that one is important personally, you are taking the QB's completion yardage and dividing it against every single time the ball leaves his hand, could be a friggen spike and it counts... maybe yards per completion.

I would take the guy completing, say 56-57% of his passes, but throwing the ball down the field, over the guy at 60% and just dumping it off.
Edit: Also note that your spiked ball would also count against completion percentage, so its a moot point anyway.
downfield? how successful is that really? the vertical passing game has been asleep for a while, it's all about short passes, screens, 5 to 8 yard plays.... a small minority go 20 or 30+ yards. I would rather have the guy completing long balls too, and the rest of the guys making that happen... it's better go make consistent 5 yard throws and move the chains all day than get a 1 out of 4 success rate throwing it long.
I agree with both comments 100%. Fumbled the first snap again ???? what the ****?? And Jordon looked faster then ever on the sprint to the side and a couple of great cuts. Maybe the Raiders had good backs and a terrible O line last year? Maybe Cable's zone blocking is working? We shall see in the real season But I am hoping for the best.

Here's hoping for at least a year.
Wow, I can't believe he owned up to it.
I hope that his career is OVER.
As a warning message to all the other retards that stand to lose $100 million over something so f'ing stupid.
I mean rwally Michael... what kind of a moron do you have to be to get involved in something like this?
Did you just crawl out of the ocean?!?
WHAT an idiot.
Him and his legal team knew he was screwed, it's his only shot at a shorter sentenceQuote:

That's two seasons down before the NFL penalty even hits him. I think he's done for SURE.Quote:

IMO, this season is his NFL penalty. He will definitely miss next season from his prison sentence. If he is out of prison in time to play in 2009, I think he should be free to rejoin the league. He might get a 2 year sentence and miss 2009 too.Quote:

He was the perfect downhill guy for our system, but he just got old fast.
