Fernando Mendoza vs Ty Simpson... yeah people are really split on this. But what if we compared 2 comparable defense's that both of them played and see how they performed? Well I cut up all the pass or scramble plays from each QB. One thing to notice is how much or little their teams went downfield with their running game as well. (All running plays are not shown). Here's some numbers I think are interesting: -Fernando Mendoza had: 🔶14 Touchdowns from short area throwing (0-9 yards) (34%) 🔶 Out of the 3,535 yards he threw, 1,455 yards were from short area throwing (41%) -Ty Simpson Had: 🔶 13 Touchdowns from short area throwing (46%) 🔶Out of the 3,567 yards he threw, 1,450 yards were from short area throwing (40%) Indiana had the #12 Rushing Offense, Alabama had the #123 - this is out of 134 eligible schools in 2025. Here's the context: Ty Simpson Played 1 less game (15) Fernando Mendoza & had 94 less pass attempts than Mendoza. Alabama's receivers also had 26 drops vs Indiana's 8. I think the better QB is obvious. The QB that had less to work with from a wholistic offensive stand point is obvious. The risk taker is obvious as well. Fernando takes so many checkdowns and was off target against Iowa. You make the call for yourself. For me, Ty Simpson all the way for me. #NFLDraft #tysimpson #fernandomendoza
