Aaron Rodgers has had 3 of the last 4 years where he's barely thrown picks (2011, 2012, 2014)

It's just insane.

—Robert Griffin III, 23.8 Attempts Per Interceptable Pass—



There’s no argument that can be made in support of Robert Griffin III being a good quarterback last year, but he wasn’t anywhere near as bad as many will have you believe. While adjusting to a new offense that asked him to play in such a way that he never had before, he did relatively well with his decision-making.

Part of that was a reluctance to let the ball go, but on the whole this should be considered a positive for Griffin moving forward.

Thank you :blessed:

let's do this real quick to point out egregiously misleading tidbits:

—Russell Wilson, 27.6 Attempts Per Interceptable Pass—
Wilson’s numbers aren’t really valuable. He struggled during the 2014 season as a passer because he was way too hesitant to throw downfield. That meant that he avoided turnovers, but he also missed opportunities for important yardage.

—Andrew Luck, 26.3 Attempts Per Interceptable Pass—It was a phenomenal season for Andrew Luck. He was once again able to elevate a subpar supporting cast and turn it into one of the most dangerous units in the NFL. Luck’s biggest issue right now isn’t how many interceptable passes he throws, but rather how bad some of them are.

so basically, russ wilson is a black alex smith who hesitates and andrew luck had a phenomenal season and his only problem is how badly thrown his picks are. all of these points are out of subjective ass with no real stats source

fortunately I have PFF analysis on deep passing. Im expecting russ wilson to be in the bottom of the league according to this 'analysis', and, less importantly, luck on top.

so lets see what % of passes each qb had on 40+ passing.
wilson actually has more pass attempts 40+ downfield than luck by 1%.



hmm so far so WRONG but what about 30-40 yards ? here luck has 1% advantage, but russ wilson is hardly alex smith or brady



what about 20-30 yard passe
these simple three charts basically prove that whole tidibit wrong. russ wilson goes downfield plenty of times when hes passing the ball, far more than nfl average.

% numbers are deceptive here. Luck throws way more passes (616 vs 452 attempts).

When you are looking at 40+, there are very few passes thrown (2 out of 6 completed for russ, 1 out of 4 for luck). 30-40 (23 for luck, 11 for russ), similarly 20-30, luck is 1.5 times as much as russ.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. Indy asks Luck to throw more, no reason for Russ to :yeshrug: As of right now they are equally valuable in their own regard.

:what:
numerical numbers are deceptive, not %.
the % numbers are exactly to account for different number of overall attempts.

When you are looking at 40+, there are very few passes thrown (2 out of 6 completed for russ, 1 out of 4 for luck). 30-40 (23 for luck, 11 for russ), similarly 20-30, luck is 1.5 times as much as russ.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. Indy asks Luck to throw more, no reason for Russ to :yeshrug: As of right now they are equally valuable in their own regard.
again, this wasnt really a comparison, but an indication that those breakdowns were taken out of the ass. the whole "he doesnt throw deep therefore he doesnt make interceptions, but thats not valuable" narrative is tiring. and in this case, its plain wrong.

WHEN russ was asked to throw it, he chucked it deep just as much proportionally, as someone who is known to throw downfield

—Geno Smith, 21.6 Attempts Per Interceptable Pass—



For the second year in a row, Geno Smith’s bad was so bad that it overshadowed his sustained strong play over the second half of the season. Smith did enough to justify his starting spot in 2015, but he needs to avoid the depths that he reached last year against the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills.


This is why I say context with this type of datamining is needed. That Buffalo game wasn't Geno's fault.
