Here are some interesting facts that David Pollack, on twitter @davidpollack47, posted on Twitter. Pollack played with David Greene who was one of the best QB’s to play at Georgia. Greene’s best season at Georgia, statically, was his senior year when he passed for 2508 yards 20 TD’s and only 4 picks. This year Murray has passed for 2580 yards 21 TD’s and only 6 picks and we have 1, maybe 2, games to go. Greene’s best QB rating ever was 148.3 and Murray this year is at 156.8. And another recent Georgia QB that wasn’t to shabby, Matt Stafford, his best QB rating ever was 154.53..
Watching him you never give up on the play. He makes passes that couldn’t be in a better spot and makes them right after picking up 8 yards on the ground on a busted play to keep a drive a live. His teamates talk about him as if he has already arrived as a top notch QB. They stand up for him like he has been leading them for several years and expect him to make plays that keep them in the ball game even if its doing something stupid like lowering his shoulder instead of running out of bounds. Coach Bobo has said that he has never coached a QB that stayed in his office more than Murray just begging to learn more and become better.
One thing I truly love about this blog is that besides all the shit talking I think we do a good job giving props to the guys that deserve it, even if we hate the team the player plays for.
Thank you Murray for making a shitty season very enjoyable to watch.
Good post Joe, I agree.
ReplyDeleteMurray is a BMF. I'll give it to him. He may hang 400+ yds and 50 pts on my Jackets next week, unless Good Ole PJ can think of ways to do 18 play/8+ minute death marches and keep his ass off the field.
