I'm not trying to "do" anything, and you've no idea "what I am trying to do" so save it for another poster who might give you what you want. A duck is a duck. Putting them in the same conversion is laughable, period. There are 10,000 better comps. One was massively productive, the other wasn't even middling statistically. One was a huge winner, the other was a loser. One was a TD machine, the other wasn't. One played against top flight comp, the other played against poor comp. One had two previous years of good completion %, the other didn't. One was injured the one year his % dropped, the other's low completion % was a career constant. One was a 2-time first team QB in a top football state, the other barely played his last year because he got benched for sucking.
The only thing they have in common is that they both played QB in High School. Unless you think Brown is going to lose his QB1 spot his senior year, like Sit did, then I'd love to hear more. Personally, I'd bet her tears it up. Otherwise, this has become tiresome and a waste of bandwidth. You can believe what you like, the earth will still spin for both of us. I'm moving on. Have a killer Sunday, amigo.
Okay, you're in denial or being intentionally obtuse. You're getting your panties wet because of a
comparison. Comparisons identify similarities. They're not predictions that they'll end up similarly. They do shed light on what the key bets you're making are. What will cause them to be different. You're dug in trying to insist there's no comparison. But a simple review of the dynamic when we took Sit highlights how wrong that is. You can't get your mind off the differences in
hindsight. But that wasn't what the situation looked like in when Sit committed.
Sit committed here in the summer headed into his senior year. He was every bit as highly rated as Brown as a prospect at that time, with prototype measurables and a strong arm. His accuracy in HS wasn't good. His mechanics were decent, but he was a bit stiff, IMO. Mark Richt, our allegedly great QB
evaluator (who actually played the position and recruited NFL QBs) assessed him in person and took his commitment. Plenty of people on this board were super excited by what Richt could do with Sit. You can find the threads on this board. In retrospect, the skeptics were correct, but the optimists didn't know that back in June of that year. By fall, even Richt knew it and cut his losses and moved on.
Brown like Sit is 6-4, 210 or so, great arm. Brown has mechanics issues. His accuracy in HS is not great. If he's going to become a great college QB, he'll have to address these topics, just the situation that was true of Sit when we took his commitment. The difference other than evaluation is that Brown could likely succeed at other positions, making his commitment less risky from a roster management perspective. That doesn't go to his evaluation as a QB, but it does to his overall merit as a recruit.
You're stuck talking about Brown's won more, scored more TDs, didn't have a QB coach. Those are all things that if relevant just go to evaluation. No problem, I am all about discussing evaluations on these boards. But that's my point. There are similarities here. No big deal except to you apparently. It's the differences that go to projection that matter. Winning games in HS and scoring more TDs in HS are not themselves meaningful differences when it comes to projecting them as prospects. Plenty of guys come from better HS programs but aren't better prospects than some other kid. Lack of a QB coach isn't the answer because most kids don't have them, and you still have to project how they'll develop. You also talk about Sit getting benched his senior year of HS, which is hilarious since it happened after we took his commitment and Brown hasn't even played his senior year of HS. You're caught up in what Sit became and seem incapable of discussing what was believed when Richt took his commitment.
Bottom line is Brown's got a lot of tools to work with, will have to develop a lot to be an effective QB at a major program, but has high upside (my opinion) at a lot of other spots, so seems like a low risk take.
