I bet the senior failure rate is comparable, yet Carroll wants to hang his hat on stats, while ignoring the fact that Sanchez gets jack shit if he suffers a significant injury after returning.

I think he was talking about underclassmen QBs, but am not sure. I think the more compelling data point is that of number of college starts in relation to success in the NFL.
IMO Pete used the stats to illustrate what the best set of circumstances might be for Mark to come out and be successful. I don't think people would argue that Mark has put himself in the best situation in terms of preparation and experience to be a productive NFL QB.
I admit I thought Pete could have handled the press conference better. But I also think that he had the player's best interests at heart. FWIW, I thought that this interview a bit later was more indicative of how he felt.
