Troy Flutie 6 24 48 50.0 382 8.0 63.7 3 1 66 4 23 133.3
Darius Wade 3 21 42 50.0 232 5.5 77.3 2 1 22 4 30 107.4
Jeff Smith 7 21 63 33.3 220 3.5 31.4 1 1 39 7 45 64.7

I am not writing off either QB like some on this board did with Matt Ryan. Neither of these guys should be playing at this point except for the injury to Wade.

From the body of work this year, I have to say Flutie gives us the best chance to win as Jeff Smith is getting the snot knocked out of him and has not been effective running the ball and his ball handling leaves much to be desired. For Flutie, 8 yards per attempt and a 50% completion percentage is not terrible given the time he has to throw the ball. On the other hand, 33% and a 3.5 yard per attempt is not pretty.
