I am not saying Jordan is better. Just that he could be before it’s all said and done. Before anyone says that is a “ridiculous statement” keep these things in mind.

EJ and Ponder had better surrounding talent than Jordan had his first few seasons. 2012 EJ had national title caliber talent around him.

Ponder started 34 games
EJ started 31 games.
Jordan has started 21 games

Now let’s compare their career stats..

Jordan Travis 4,400 passing yards, 60% passing, 33 TD’s to 16 INT’s, 141.1 passer rating

Christian Ponder 6,872 passing yards, 61.7% passing, 49 TD’s to 30 INT’s, 132.1 passer rating

EJ Manuel 7,736 passing yards, 67% passing, 47 TD’s to 28 INT’s, 150.4 passer rating

Also let’s compare rushing stats..

Travis 1,579 rushing yards, 5.2 avg. 19 TD’s

Ponder 833 rushing yards, 2.8 avg. 1TD’s

EJ 827 rushing yards, 2.8 avg. 11 TD’s

Certainly appears Jordan could surpass their career statistical accomplishments with 6 games left this season (counting bowl) and a full other season should be return.

What do you guys think. Can Jordan be the best FSU QB of the 2000’s not named Jameis?
