For sure. I think (most) of us would agree that Tjack is better.
Scotte's point is that you probably shouldn't rely on preseason stats to judge a QBs performance, but by the context of how he played and the kinds of plays he was making. In that sense, it's okay to credit a QB with a pass that should have been caught. He wasn't withholding credit from Tjack, in fact you can see him debating someone else in this thread where he says that Tjack is clearly better than Pryor.
I watched a preseason game last year where Nick Foles faced Carolina and left the game with a 60 passer rating. But I knew he was going to have a great season, because he passed at will against a young, elite defense (a single bad pass tanked his rating in a small sample size). I think Foles surprised a lot of people because they didn't watch him actually play. Pryor is not good yet, but when you break down what he does you see why Seattle likes him.
As I said the ye test he was not better. Forget the bad pass for INT, or the screen that was not a great pass but could have been caught, it is what he missed. On the int had he thrown it 1 second sooner there was a wide open guy right in front of him, he did not see him. on several runs he had open WR right in front of him but once he decides to run he is running done over. I saw little that said he was any different than he was in Oakland. I also saw very little progression in his reads. I agree he is not good, and so far its open and shut TJ is our backup. Now after game 2 that might change but not as of now.
