Does winning football games count for anything in QB evaluations?

I have a hard time getting past this one:

Josh Rosen career record at UCLA: 17 - 13

UCLA record 3 years preceding Rosen: 29 - 11

 

I understand there's extra circumstances to these numbers but it's hard for me to get past that he never won squat at ucla when Brett Hundley was so successful before him.

Just as a comparison:

Josh Allen 2 yr record at Wyom as a starter: 16 - 11

The two yrs preceding Allen: 6 - 18

 

Ppl can dog Allen all they like for his accuracy issues, but Wyoming did a 180 with him under center. Team was exponentially better with him at QB.

Winning percentage for a quarter back is as significant as the winning percentage of a baseball pitcher, it's a pretty dumb statistic to go by in such a team game. (Nobody won more than Tebow, yet everyone says he stinks. I would have liked to give him a better shot...)

U can bet that winning percentage will be the number one stat that gets looked at once these guys are pros.  As far as TimTebow Yes he won some games when the whole team was centered around a style that suited him. Plop him in a pro style offense and the wins weren't there.

It depends on whether or not you like the player and their political views. If you do, winning doesn’t matter. If you don’t, it matters a LOT!

Woody will be celebrating 5-11 next year while Josh Rosen lights it up in Denver

The minute you can bring up Tebow your validity dies. Winning does matter but to bring up the winning record of a TEAM versus the stats of the individual player in a team sport and discounting the teams they played against, their respective records and how many of those players on those teams moved on to the pros is cherry picking to make a point.

UCLAs defense was atrocious and when he was injured they basically never won. I can see why some might be concerned he didn't win more but IMO it's a team sport and the team around him just wasn't that good.

I think this is very fair. However, over a 3 year career he was never able to accomplish anything. If just one of those years Rosen galvanized his team into being a factor in the weak Pac 12, I would feel better. 

Personally I feel Rosen is a bit soft and UCLA sure always played that way too. I know we poke fun at the intensity and rah rah nature of guys like Mayfield, but I actually want that out of my QB.

There's probably some truth to this but I think it has more to do with Mora being an awful coach than Rosen.

It should, but unfortunately in this era it does.

That's because the media, led by BSPN, has brainwashed fans to believe that the QB is the end all be all in football, and no other position matters. So idiots who dont truly understand football have run with that bullcrap narrative like the sheep they are
