Seems like there are really not too many downright awful QBs in the NFL these days. Of the top 33 so far this year, there are only 4 who are underwater on TDs/INTs (Stafford 3/5, Howell 4/5, Garoppolo 5/6, Jones 2/4, Tannehill 2/4). Plus, appears to be a good crop coming in for next year. Will be tough to win without a great QB (looking at you falcons...)

Side note: I know the 49ers have a ton of talent, but Brock Purdy currently has the highest QB rating in the league. Falcons should've promoted Shanahan to the top job when we had him!

On October 2 in Baseball History...
Click to expand...
  • 1908 - Addie Joss of the Cleveland Indians pitched a perfect game, defeating the Chicago White Sox 1-0.

  • 1916 - Grover Alexander pitched his sixteenth shutout of the season, allowing only three Boston Braves hits in a 2-0 triumph.

  • 1919 - In Game Two of the World Series, White Sox pitcher Lefty Williams falters in the third inning as the Reds take a 3-0 lead. Swede Risberg and Chick Gandil fail in the clutch in a 4-2 Cincinnati win. Chicago manager Kid Gleason tells owner Charlie Comiskey that he is suspicious of his players, but neither league president follows with action.

  • 1920- The only tripleheader in this century was played, with the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first two games. The Pirates won the nightcap, which was called after six innings because of darkness.

  • 1921 - The Yankees close the season by beating the Red Sox, 7-6. Babe Ruth hits his fifty-ninth home run off Curt Fullerton.

  • 1932 - The Yankees sweep the Cubs in the World Series. Tony Lazzeri hits two homers and Earle Combs adds another in the 13-6 laugher.

  • 1936 - The Yankees even the World Series and set a Series record for runs as they demolish the Giants 18-4. Lefty Gomez coasts to a six-hit win, while every member of the Yankees lineup makes a hit and scores at least one run. Tony Lazzeri hits a grand slam, the first in World Series play since 1920.

  • 1938 - Bob Feller struck out eighteen Detroit Tigers, setting a single-game record that stood until Steve Carlton broke it in 1969.

  • 1947 - The Dodgers squeak out a 9-8 win over the Yankees, jumping on Bobo Newsom and Vic Raschi for six runs in the second inning. Yogi Berra becomes the first player to hit a pinch home run in World Series history, belting one off Brooklyn's Ralph Branca in the seventh inning.

  • 1949 - The Yankees and the Red Sox enter the last day of the season tied for first place and nearly 70,000 pack Yankee Stadium to see the finale. Vic Raschi nurses a 1-0 lead into the eighth against Ellis Kinder before the Yankees score four runs and go on to win the game and the pennant 5-3. Ted Williams also loses the batting title as George Kell goes two-for-three in Detroit (.3429 to .3427).

  • 1954- The Giants sweep the American League team with the best record in history, scoring four runs in the fifth for a 7-4 win over Cleveland. The Indians had won 111 games, a record that stood until surpassed by the 1998 Yankees.

  • 1955 - Surprise Brooklyn starter rookie Roger Craig pitches six innings for the 5-3 win to even the World Series. Two home runs by Duke Snider and one by Sandy Amoros prove too much for the Yankees.

  • 1958 - The Braves erupt for seven runs in the first and go on to defeat the Yankees 13-5. Lew Burdette is shaky but beats New York for the fourth consecutive time in the World Series. He also chips in with a three-run home run.

  • 1962 - Just 25,321 fans are on hand at Dodger Stadium for the second game in the best-of-three playoff against the Giants. A ninth-inning sacrifice fly by Ron Fairly sends Maury Willshome with the deciding run in the Dodgers' 8-7 win.

  • 1963 - Sandy Koufax fans the first five batters he faces and becomes the first pitcher to fan fifteen in a World Series game. Johnny Roseboro's three-run home run is the difference as Los Angeles beats the Yankees 5-2 at New York.

  • 1965 - Sandy Koufax's 2-1 win against the Braves clinches the National League pennant for the Dodgers. With thirteen strikeouts, Koufax ups his modern major league season record to 382. (Nolan Ryan will do Koufax one K better in 1973.)

  • 1966 - Sandy Koufax clinches the third Los Angeles pennant in four years, working with just two days rest for a 6-3 win at Philadelphia. Koufax sets Los Angeles records with twenty-seven wins and a 1.73 ERA.

  • 1968 - Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals set a World Series record by striking out seventeen Detroit Tigers in Game 1.

  • 1969- The Seattle Pilots play what will be their last game in Seattle in a 3-1 loss to Oakland. A crowd of 5,473 shows up.

  • 1972 - Bill Stoneman of Montreal pitches his second no-hitter, beating the Mets 7-0. The temperature at Jarry Park is 53 degrees as 7,184 watch the doubleheader split.

  • 1974 - During a 13-0 Braves win over Reds, Hank Aaron homers off Rawly Eastwick. It is Aaron's 733rd career clout and comes in his last National League at-bat.

  • 1977 - Dusty Baker homers in his final at-bat of the season during a 6-3 loss to the Astros. It is Baker's 30th home run of the year, enabling him to join teammates Steve Garvey (33), Reggie Smith (32) and Ron Cey (30) in making the Dodgers the first team ever to boast four 30-homer hitters in one season.

  • 1978 - In a one-game playoff for the American League East title, Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer off Mike Torrez, leading the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

  • 1984 - In the first LCS game played with replacement umpires, the Cubs clobber the Padres 13-0 in the opener of the National League series. Chicago hits five home runs at Wrigley Field, including one by winning pitcher Rick Sutcliffe.

  • 1985 - Tigers first baseman Darrell Evans hits his major league-leading 40th home run of the season and becomes the first player to have a 40-homer season in each loop. Evans hit 41 homers for the Braves in 1973.

  • 1986 - Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets became the first pitcher in baseball history to strike out two-hundred batters in each of his first three seasons, fanning seven en route to an 8-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • 1986 - Mike Scott strikes out eight Giants in a 2-1 Astros victory to run his season total to 306, becoming the third National League pitcher to fan 300 batters in one season. Scott loses his bid for a second consecutive no-hitter when Will Clark doubles in the seventh inning.

  • 1988- Minnesota's season-ending 3-2 win over the Angels is watched by 35,952 fans, making the Twins the first American League club ever to break three million in season attendance.

  • 1991- The Toronto Blue Jays clinched the American League East title and became the first team in sports history to draw four million fans in one season.

  • 1992 - Carlos Baerga becomes the first second baseman in American League history to hit .300 with 200 hits, 20 home runs and 100 RBI.

  • 1995 - The Seattle Mariners, behind Randy Johnson's three-hitter, beat California 9-1 in a one-game playoff for the American League West title.
