Dobbs or Mahomes or ???

[Dean-Atlanta]

Should I start Joshua Dobbs or Patrick Mahomes, or should I have drafted Joe Burrow instead of trading the first pick overall to LA?

My belief is QB stats come down to coaching.
6 Dobbs, Joshua KC 6 61 38 62.3 506 8.3 80 3 2 91.3 5-27
7 Hurts, Jalen DET R 111 71 64.0 853 7.7 65 6 4 90.4 8-38

Hurts drafted late 5th round. the INTs are mostly my fault for not fine tuning my PPP enough.

It's the coaching/PPP design that makes the most difference in this league. The skill ratings are not that different between those QBs.

I reflect on my own team. I went 12-4 with a 2nd year, 4th round pick. Then, I decided to trade for a former top 5 draft pick QB the next season. I screwed around with my PPPs and barely went 9-7.

Last season, I went 10-6 and made it to the conference champ game with Mayfield. He had an excellent TD/INT ratio and a QB rating well over 90.

This season, I screwed around with my PPPs and Mayfield is rated near the bottom in everything except for yards passing.

I believe the stats matter, but as James and Mitch said, it is how you use them. A 75-75 SP-AC QB will just not do the roll outs like a 81-81. You will have more sacks on those type plays. The IN and DI matter, but a 1 or 2 point difference is not huge same with ST. I believe a 96 ST QB will have more completed deep balls, but if the PPP calls a majority short passing game 95 and 94 are fine. The top rated QB's just give you more options. So they are better. I think Mahomes is a tick better than Dobbs, but Burrow will run any gameplan. That talent will cost against the cap too.

I will add one last thing. I'm not sure what it was but doggone QB Jake Locker was unbelievable. The best clutch player in PNFL history

Start whoever wants to be on their back the most this week.

[Dean-Atlanta]

Or who ever will complete 500 yards against your defense...and 3-4 INTs to go with it.

[Rich-League Officer]

Or maybe hire a defensive coordinator and stop costing yourself points by running 2 point conversions after you score a TD.
Trying to use fake analytics almost cost you the one win you have.
