I think the QB position is the least-accurately rated in all of sports.  
They're judged by winning, first and foremost.
But what about Trent Dilfer?  He won a SB and Marino didn't.
Yeah, but Marino threw for a ton of yards and TDs.
But so has Phillip Rivers.
Yeah, but Marino had that cannon.
But so did Jeff George.
Uhhhh....JOE MONTANA!
Huh?
Gotta go, bye!



Look at Danny Wuerffel and Aaron Murray's career stats.  They're basically even.  But Wuerffel was part of 4 SEC Championship teams and a NC team and won a Heisman.  Yet what they actually did on the field was basically the same.  Murray didn't win any awards.  Was it because of his lack of championships?  What more should he have done?

Nice.
Wuerffel went 10-2 vs ranked opponents his last two years.  His only losses were to #1 teams.  Fail.

I really don't think it was Danny's fault

Today we are officially launching a new web site – FootballPedia.com. It has been a concept for 20 years to bring together the three aspects of current information, historical information and community forums to a sports team site. In order to prove that the concept would work Joe Hudson and I launched HuskerPedia.com (now HuskerMax) on September 9, 1999. It has proven the concept and we can say without reservation that HuskerMax is the largest single sports team site on the internet with over 150,000 pages of current and historical content with a vibrant forum community.
Fast forward to 2019. After several attempts we have partnered with a development company that has been working for several months to integrate the historical databases from Sports Data Research that goes back as far as 1950 for historical data for NFL and Division 1 teams. Here is an example for the Kansas City Chiefs.  In addition we have new feeds that span from the NFL to the NAIA so you can get current and historical information as well as community forums for over 700 NFL and college teams all in one location.
Once all the databases have been loaded FootballPedia will have over one million pages of content. All current HuskerMax BBS members have their same profiles in the forums. Registration in the forums is free so you can post about the Huskers, the Los Angeles Rams the Midland Warriors or any NFL, NCAA or NAIA team.
[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Please check out FootballPedia and the forums and if you like what you see please tell your friends about it.[/color]

I will too

I may have had a login for the Husker forum years ago there, but I haven't visited in years

the databases and over 1 million pages of content might be useful

especially for guys like Afro

I don't think Shaggy Bevo exists anymore, MrNubbz.  UT made them drop the "Bevo" part of the name, so they morphed into Shaggy Texas.  But, after a while, it wasn't the same.  Maybe there was a purge, maybe all the best posters just went elsewhere, or maybe something happened with the ownership.  There was a great (by Texas standards, anyway) poster named Scipio Tex on Shaggy Bevo.  He wasn't on Shaggy Texas the last time I visited it.

It would've been cool for them to change the name to Shaggy 13-0...as in the origin of BEVO's name.  Meh.

There was a weird IP-law related takeover of shaggybevo (shaggytexas).  Two founding owners fought it out in a court of law and the "silent partner" won the rights to the name, but the "active partner" abandoned it for a new place and a large portion of the people followed.

The new site is surlyhorns.  It's most of the same folks, most of the same attitude, for better or worse.  Like most school-specific boards, the football/sports threads can be a beating.  But I go there for the BBQ talk, there's really no place better on all of the interwebz. 

Scipio Tex is still around, he's actually a hired writer for my friend's publication, Inside Texas.  Consequently he doesn't post much anymore.  Or at least, not for free.

Scipio Tex was the brightest star on Shaggy Bevo.  You may pass along that compliment from a Sooner fan if you like.

He is a good writer.  If he's getting paid to write, then good for him.
