How many snaps have they taken?


Roughly the same.

Marchal 836 snaps.
Vincent 863 snaps.


You are using a QB rotational system or using a QB per game without substituting him?

I assume you are using a rotational system with both playing in the same game (averaging the same # of plays per game). I would suggest that you try and let them start and finish games and then compare their stats, naturaly every player can have bad days so it would take more than one game a piece, but that's the way to go if you want to compare stats in my opinion.


The problem doing that is two fold.
1) They won't face the same opponents so if one outperforms the other I'll never know if it's because he played better or because the D was worse.
2) They'll get more tired during the game playing 80 snaps instead of 40 snaps each so they would both perform even worse than they currently do.

So your assumption was correct, I basically give them 50% of the snaps in each game.


QB's don't get that tired, and yes they do perform well during the whole game as long as you have their PC over 90%. I speak from experience.

No two teams are the same but I know Fire league as well as anyone and I'm sure you do to, so you will see the diference if you play a team like mine who is average and a team like Magpies or Gladiators who are elite. There are no weak teams except for the Gamblers who went bot. But it's your team and your QB's, I was simply making a suggestion based on something I know.

Yeah I wasn't shooting down your suggestion dude, I might actually even try it once I'll mathematically be out of the PO race in the league. I was just explaining why I haven't tried it yet.

If anything I'm glad people are responding to this thread and trying to understand why Marchal plays better than Vincent. Thanks guys

I understood ya. And I was just explaining why it isn't the way you were advocating in terms of energy lost. QB's can play the whole game just fine.

As for the facing diferent teams, I get it, I really do, but there are no weak opponents in the league, so they will face good competition no matter what, unless they face elite competition!

I'll tell you what, if you want we can schedulle a couple of friendly games where you can try each QB against my defense. I will play the same team (defense) in both. It won't be a good sample size but it will be better than nothing.

Thank you, let's try that on Friday 15th and Friday 22nd if you don't mind, I'll send you a challenge request when I can and I'll post the stats here so that everyone can see how it went.
