Five games into the season, Colt’s QB rating is by far the highest and his total touchdowns are eight more than Vince Young in 2005. The stats are also a reminder of just how good Major Applewhite’s 1999 season was. Check them out below:

Major Applewhite 1999 -46 -2.2 1 64.8 1,492 1 10 150.73 4-1
Chris Simms 2002 -2 -0.1 2 56.1 1,161 3 10 132.03 5-0
Vince Young 2005 355 5.5 2 62.4 1,021 5 10 162.17 5-0
