This started as a post about how Sterling Sharpe might be overrated, but while writing it, a few things became apparent pretty quickly.
- Sharpe’s efficiency stats were rarely good, but this was through no fault of his own, and it’s not news.
- Sharpe is obviously great on film, but there’s not really a way to quantify that, and simply writing that “Boy, Sharpe looks great on film” is also boring.
It’s not Sharpe’s fault that he played for a poorly-run franchise in a less efficient era of passing, and it’s not his fault that Mike Tomczak was his quarterback for a large chunk of a season.
