CPOE will reward a QB less for completing a high volume of short, high percentage passes, as will EPA/play, whereas the rest of them don't notice, if the QB is getting lots of possessions.

CPOE, and to an extent PFF grades are averages, whereas
Total EPA, DYOA, DYAR, and QBR are volume stats, which explains some of the disparity

DVOA and QBR are not volume stats.

Analytics says the average pass is better than the average run; analytics also says that if your runs will get more yards, on average, in a game than your passes will, then you should continue to run.

Which is what happened in both the Buffalo and Indy games.

Yet another win for Analytics!

I do think we're entering into a weird period of time in which analytics isn't going to disproven or whatever but a lot of the "don't run" evangelists are going to get owned in increasingly obvious ways.

Defenses are finding a way to slow down the passing explosion with split safeties, and offenses are adjusting by running against the light boxes. We'll probably see some sort of evolution in the next year followed by a widespread adoption, but I think we've got a bit of a weird situation where some of the tools for slowing down these offenses(ie front-7 guys who can play in gap and a half/two-gap to let you just play split safeties) or the stuff for beating those adjustments on offense(good in-line TEs) don't exactly grow on trees.

So do what your guts and your eyes tell you to do after all?

And it made one-eighth the difference.
The correlation between running the ball and winning football games is 1.

Go ahead and throw those quarterbacks in the trash and invest in another fullback instead.

Bills have come up with a brilliant strategy of just scoring touchdowns every drive. I'm surprised it took a team so long to come up with this clever strategy.

Wait hold on they were able to effectively run AND pass the ball? Is that legal?

I've looked at the numbers and it seems like running a QB draw at 14 seconds left in midfield with no timeouts is not the most optimal play in that situation.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
I'm getting word that two attempts to score a touchdown is better than one, and that both one and two attempts are better than zero.

This is high level math, it simply cannot be disputed

i think baker will prove to be at least x0.9 of kirk when he is healthy and everything has chilled out some. i've always believed in only three browns qbs since becoming a fan of nfl football. tim couch, baker mayfield, and cody kessler who i think could have slanged it if given better opportunities. i know the stats don't say so but sometimes he would slang it but not often.

I was curious if there were any studies done to back up the idea of a player being "injury prone" and found this study from the other football that seems like it would still apply.




Abstract

Background: Previous injury is often proposed to be a risk factor for football injury, but most studies rely on players reporting their own medical history and are thus potentially subject to recall bias. Little is known about the natural variation in injury pattern between seasons.

Objectives: To study whether prospectively recorded injuries during one season are associated with injuries sustained during the following season, and to compare injury risk and injury pattern between consecutive seasons.

Methods: The medical staffs of 12 elite Swedish male football teams prospectively recorded individual exposure and time loss injuries over two full consecutive seasons (2001 and 2002). A multivariate model was used to determine the relation between previous injury, anthropometric data, and the risk of injury.

Results: The training and match injury incidences were similar between seasons (5.1 v 5.3 injuries/1000 training hours and 25.9 v 22.7/1000 match hours), but analysis of injury severity and injury patterns showed variations between seasons. Players who were injured in the 2001 season were at greater risk of any injury in the following season compared with non-injured players (hazard ratio 2.7; 95% confidence interval 1.7 to 4.3, p<0.0001). Players with a previous hamstring injury, groin injury, and knee joint trauma were two to three times more likely to suffer an identical injury in the following season, whereas no such relation was found for ankle sprain. Age was not associated with an increased injury risk.

Conclusions: This study confirmed previous results showing that previous injury is an important risk factor for football injury. Overall injury incidences were similar between consecutive seasons, indicating that an injury surveillance study covering one full season can provide a reasonable overview of the injury problem among elite football players in a specific environment. However, a prolonged study period is recommended for analyses of specific injury patterns.

Nothing earth shattering but I thought it was interesting that ankle injuries don't seem to lead to more future injuries and that age doesn't seem to be a factor.
