Matt Cassel with pass of the year [football stats rant]

[yseJ]

1st-10, MIN233:49M. Cassel passed to C. Ford down the middle for 20 yard gain

so we have a 20 yard pass, and 25 yard pass in the air if we use more advanced metrics

if it wasnt a preseason game it will go into the books, boosting cassel's stats.

looks great in box score, looks perfect on paper.

except in real life, this is what happens:

You're right. He should be starting over Ponder.

Pointless Thread of the Year Award.

 

[mozichrome]

so u mad your player didnt intercept the ball & made this pointless ass thread huh

 

[yseJ]

the point is that its a terrible ass play by the qb but it looks like a great play in the boxscore

and besides giving a subjective grade, there is no way to reflect that in any kind of qb rating system

 

[yseJ]

the same applies to DBs, far more than not.

people gush over guys who get ints, when lots of picks are lucky, especially those by deflections.

 

[dontreadthis]

damn, that pass was trash.

 

[Young_and_Reckless]

More like catch of the year

 

[PortCityProphet]

Yeah, you're a little off with this one.

Obviously plays like this are impossible to incorporate into an advanced metric. But it's not like this happens more than once a season for a QB, so it's essentially meaningless. And they'd even out anyway when they throw a good pass that the WR tips into the air and is intercepted.

The point of advanced metric isn't to make the box score tell the WHOLE story. But by adding context like down, distance, game score, play result, etc it adds a lot more context that raw passing numbers. A 5-yard completion on 3rd-and-4 is a much more productive play than a 15-yard completion on 3rd-and-20. As I understand it, QBR does that.
