QB1: 214 yards/game, 65% completion, 14 INTs, 26 TDs, QB rating 144
Rushing: 21 yards/game, 2.2 yards/rush, 7 TDs
QB2: 175 yards/game, 68% completion, 12 INTs, 16 TDs, QB rating 139
Rushing: 33 yards/game, 4.0 yards/rush, 9 TDs
I believe the point of the post was to show that it is a toss up, but obviously some people put extra focus on the base TD/INT metrics and say QB1 is markedly better. I offer;
(1) Both QBs averaged ~0.93 INTs per game (QB1 - .933 and QB2 .923). But same metrics presented a different way, QB1 threw an INT in 80% of games and QB2 was only 54%.
(2) QB1 played the entire game against ETSU (5 TDs) but QB2 only played 1 quarter at NSU (0 TDs). Taking out those passing TDs and are you are down to 21 passing TDs for QB1 in 14 games and 16 passing TDs for QB2 in 12 games. Both QBs only played a half and a drive in the other cupcakes (NSU for QB1, Robert Morris for QB2).
(3) Clearly QB2 had a very bad game to end the season. QB1 had their worse game statistically (0 TDs and 2 INTs) in their last game of the season. Taking away both QBs last game and QB1 has 12 INTs and QB2 has 7.
So let me present some adjusted stats based on above. Clearly the adjusted numbers are not what actually happened. However, I think it is a fair way to look at things by removing the cupcakes and worst game of the season for both QBs and adjusting the per game stats based on the number of quarters actually played.
QB1: 214 yards/game, 65% completion, 12 INTs, 21 TDs, QB rating 144 (? update)
Rushing: 21 yards/game, 2.2 yards/rush, 7 TDs
Total: 235 yards/game, 28 TDs, 12 INTs, 1.75 passing TD-INT ratio -- Removed 5 TDs from ETSU, 2 INTs from NDSU and no adjustment to games played
QB2: 198 yards/game , 68% completion, 7 INTs, 16 TDs, QB rating 139 (? update)
Rushing: 38 yards/game, 4.0 yards/rush, 9 TDs
Total: 236 yards/game, 25 TDs, 7 INTs, 2.28 passing TD-INT ratio --- Removed 0 TDs from NSU, 5 INTs from Colgate and adjusted from 13 games to 11.5 for the 3 missed quarters at NSU and the 3 quarters of sitting at UNH.
