Kevin Kolb (84) 2010 Stats

115/189 1,197 YD 7 TD 7 INT

Kyle Orton (82) 2010 Stats

293/498 3,653 YD 20 TD 9 INT

David Garrard (83) 2010 Stats

236/366 2,734 YD 23 TD 15 INT

Is his 84 rating really based purely on hype?
Stats aren't everything, but I think Garrard > Orton/Kolb.

Orton's nothing special who benefited from his system. Garrard's slightly above average. Kolb's largely unknown, with some upside left, and he brings a little mobility.

That said, I think Kolb should be right around 80 if his individual ratings are rated correctly. Overall is stupid. And ratings shouldn't be based on stats/production. Base it on the actual skills of the players.
