i was doing some research on Kordell.. trying to get to the bottom of if he sucks or not, basically..
i noticed something that i didnt realize before..
he has only started all 16 games in a season 3 times in his career. i did not know that..
his best seasons where -
1997
440/236 PASSING 53.6%
3020 YARDS PASSING/ 476 YARDS RUSHING
21 TDS PASSING/ 11 TDS RUSHING
17 INTS/ 4 LOST FUMBLES
75.2 QB RATING
2001
442/266 PASSING 60.2%
3109 YARDS PASSING / 537 YARDS RUSHING
14 TDS PASSING / 5 TDS RUSHING
11 INTS/ 4 LOST FUMBLES
81.7 QB RATING
obviously those were both exceptional seasons.
now in 2002 he started 5 games
2002
166/109 PASSING 65.7%
1155 YARDS PASSING / 191 YARDS RUSHING
6 TDS PASSING / 2 TDS RUSHING
6 INTS / 2 LOST FUMBLES
82.8 QB RATING
now someone please tell me what happened, because i am a little foggy on it. Kordell got hurt and missed the remainder of the season.. Maddox came in and was great.. and kept the job.. kordells salary cost him his job, along with his battles with cowher, right?
he was hidious in chicago last year.. which had less talent than we had in buffalo. now while he was horrible.. he was still better than drew was.. and i can only image what drew would have done there..
from all i can see.. kordell would be a great back up. now the thing that i can tell would drive me crazy is the turnovers.. he turns the ball over alot.. which is one of the main things that pisses me off about bledsoe.. but at this point i think he may very well be our best option as a back up qb.. and when bledsoe craps the bed.. at least we have a vet that is capable of coming in and playing in a system he knows. now whether or not he plays well is up in the air.. from all i can see though, he was at least effective and didnt hurt his team while mularkey was his OC and clements was his QB coach. so maybe he was headed in the right direction under them and can continue on that path..
another down side is he is strictly a backup qb with no future.. he is 32 i believe.. that means that it is imperative taht we grab a good rookie.
i know some of you are for this move and some of you are against it.. but unless you can tell me who would be available and better suited to come in right now and play.. i cant see another option.. and at least we are dealing with a guy who has been spotty but has performed at a probowl level at least 2 times in his career..
also.. looking at his numbers under MM and TC gives me a glimmer of hope for Dreadsoe.. but dont tell saviorbledsoe please..
