Hello kids... it's time to start some discussion.  With all the talk that is surrounding the upcoming NFL Draft and where all the quarterbacks will go, I took some time out of my vacation to break down all the numbers these fine young players have amassed this year.

These numbers are solely based on the 2010 season. I rated each quarterback on the following categories: Wins, TD/INT ratio, their interception, passing yard, and completion percentage ranking in comparison to their fellow top ten candidates. I also included their conference power ranking and strength of schedule ranking, as according to www.teamrankings.com. I included them because they are indications of the competition level they faced, which surely affected their stats.

I'm sure the fact that I included "wins" will be labeled suspect, but hey- if a kid's a winner, I'd want him.

So here's how I rank the quarterbacks based purely on passing statistical value- discuss:

Rank	Name	School	Wins	TD	Int	TD/INT Ratio	Int Ranking	Conference Ranking	SOS rank	PYD Rank	Comp % Rank	Pass Play ratio	Total Grade
