I haven't read it, but intuitively it makes sense that not every completion is a success--anything that doesn't get you a first down on third down or fourth down is easy, but also any 0-yard completion, and I expect the numbers probably come from the chances of getting a first down based on the yardage gained on the play--e.g. your chances of getting a first down if you get 45% or more of the required yards on first down, etc. That was my guess, but I was curious if there was an actual analysis of this I had not seen. Its an interesting concept. I would imagine it would involve finding the correlation between percentage of the first down yardage picked up on 1st/2nd/3rd down and what the corresponding percentage of successfully picking up the first down on that possession is. That is, it was probably found that picking up 45% of the yardage to a first down on 1st down is the tipping point of being more likely than not to pick up the first.

Man is their website design ancient / bad: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/methods DVOA is based on a further breakdown of that, where you can have fractions of a success (ie, getting 8 yards on 3rd and 10 is better then 0 yards, especially if you're in a situation where you have to or it'll make you consider going for it).

I think Kirk Cousins showed enough this past year to call him a top 10 QB, meanwhile Cam had a terrible season marred by injuries and poor play by his whole offensive cast, hard to say who is better at this point

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I think Brady's "leadership" skills are more about work ethic and preparation than anything he says on the sidelines. His mere presence inspires more than anything the 31 other QBs in the league could ever say. There is only one GOAT and if you know you have him on your team, you will believe that the impossible (like a 25 point comeback with ~18min left to play in the Super Bowl) is possible. The other guys than just have to verbalize these thoughts.

Also his weapons were laughable bad, as was his offensive line Like imagine if the NFL let Cousins take the beatings Cam does

I assumed it was that if you pick up 45% or more of the yardage you are more likely to make it than a given 1st and 10 - i.e., did you improve or reduce your odds of making the 1st down compared to the play before?

Intruder posted:The NFL let teams have all kinds of liberties with Cam so he spent the whole season concussed (and with a bad shoulder I think?) Yeah. It's not crazy to say Cousins is better than Cam but you have to take health and surrounding cast into account. Redskins quietly have great offensive talent, both OL and pass catchers. Jay Gruden is also head and shoulders above Shula as an offensive playcaller, the Skins offense is really well designed and executed

Kirk Cousins on the Panthers this season would look like Blaine Gabbert.

What would Brock Osweiler look like on the Panthers? Let's switch him and Cam and find out

If you were arguing who would be more likely to produce more next year, I could see and probably agree with arguing for Kirk, because Washington's offense is a fantastic unit. But at the same time, it's also really obvious that Cam is a better quarterback. See also the last like six? seven? years of Philip Rivers compared to most other quarterbacks.

The Lions have hired erstwhile Texans offensive coordinator George Godsey as a DEFENSIVE assistant. Another ex-Patriot.

lol Godsey got a job somewhere Then again the last terrible coordinator the Lions hired after the Texans fired him worked out pretty well IIRC

Let one of these bad teams whose fans are always telling me "Oh we'll take Harbaugh he's a great coach" yeah send him to the Jags and watch him not be able to do crap not inheriting an amazing roster like Harbaugh did. Also Flacco is done too.

They'll have to overpay to get players to sign there, and that means they'll have to cut some guys in 2 years when those guys bust. The question is, do they have the FO and coaches to become the Raiders or the Jaguars in the meantime?

So, uhm, the Jets literally used burner phones to circumvent the "no tampering" rule with Revis - but somehow Goodell has no issue with that? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...=mmehta+twitter Dock them at least 2 first round picks, because using burner phones and having a "no paper trail" guideline clearly means they broke rules with malice aforethought and should be punished accordingly.

Could anyone tell me why the bears offense looked so great under marc trestman for one year(2013) then dropped off quicker than dabbing? FFS even josh mccown looked like a pro bowler under that offense. was it just a situation not unlike chip kelly where the offense was figured out and failed to adjust? Edit: looking at pff and man that offense was stacked. cutler, prime forte, prime marshall, good alshon jeffery, and bennett. Chromatic fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Feb 22, 2017 |
