How does it not make sense? it's an aggregate stat- over the course of the season these situations you just mentioned occur. Of course they're all different, that's the point of the stat. The best players(higher DVOA's) more often than not succeed in all of those situations/formations listed.
youre a fukking idiot, straight up. you love math formula yet you fail to understand the basics of probability theory and combinatorics. wouldnt surprise me if you are a dropout who never studied basic math in college
there are about 85 offense/defense plays in a football game
85*16^2= only 21k plays in WHOLE year
are you telling me with a straight face that this puny number represents the set of all possible formations and coverage AND situations possible in a NFL game with a good sample size ? :dead:
maybe you should watch film for once to see how many different formations there are.

a team can have up to 50 offensive formations, theres about the same number of defensive formations, theres dozens coverages a qb might not even see one season

dog, just off formations alone theres 50^50 possible combinations
do you know how many plays you need to get all those combinations at least once ?

punch it in your calculator, math illiterate dummy
8.8^10e84
the number is nearly the number of atoms in the universe

and thats without considering coverage and situation on the field :heh:

Formations

:mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:

Teams are running the same shyt out of different formations. This is exactly what the Patriots do. They run about 20 plays out of a millions formations with different personnel.

If a QB struggles against a certain coverage, teams will most likely roll that out. Good players succeed more often than not. I dont see how you dont understand that. Coverages have zero effect on DVOA. If a QB doesnt see a certain coverage- it's probably because he eats it up. If a QB struggles against the blitz- teams will blitz. It all evens out. You're trying to make this more complicated than it is....

What makes Brady and Manning so good is their ability to recognize coverages pre-snap. They can succeed against anything...hence why they generally finish in the top 5 in DVOA.

So-Fla
They will take Matthews

But the thought of having Qunn and Clowney gotta be tempting

Giants shows us the pass rush is the way to win even with a subpar qb

So what? They still aren't making the playoffs next year and they still have Bradford so it won't help them.

nikkas don't understand this is the NFL not the NBA

losing out on a high pick in the NFL ain't as big a deal as losing out on the #1 pick in the NBA.....there are way more busts high in the draft in the NFL and there are way more gems lower in the draft

Skins still made the right decision giving up those picks for a talent like RGIII that doesn't come out every year. What I like is the Skins basically get a pick at the end of the first round now (with their high second round pick). In the last couple of years, teams have been getting more talent in that late 1st early-mid 2nd round than at the top of the draft. Plus those guys are cheaper.

Skins just need to get rid of Shannahan and they'll be okay next year with the cap space they'll have.

lol at team running only 20 plays from same formation. lol lol lol. u dont know what youre talkin about. youre the wrost type, instead of watching the play develop, you watch the qb with open mouth. i would assume you at least played madden or saw a real offensive playbook, but you clearly havent :smh:
dvoa will never, ever have plays or formations or coverages in context. it will never be shyt because of it. and qbr is garbage, kaep is higher than brady and brees, and alex smith was like top 8 last year :laff:

ps i had a brain fart there, its obviously 50*50, but the number is still bigger than all plays per season. lol at dvoa considering 4wr set all go and 0wr 2te set playaction te mesh the same. garbage stat.

So Rex Ryan is lying I guess about the Pats running the same plays out if different formations with different personnel. I'll take his word over yours.

Playbooks are big- no shyt.

Your point about DVOA and formations doesn't connect. It literally makes no sense. It's a fairly simple concept, over the course of the season the best QB's succeed against a variety of coverages. What makes Brady and the Pats offense so successful is they run the same plays out of variety of formations and personnel. Why are you making this more difficult?
