Quarterbacks Getting Credit For Receivers' YAC Unappreciation Thread

[Formerly known as...]

The WR did too much for luck to get all that credit

 

[Wacky D]

i stand by my point guard/quarterback statement. please name me these receivers who went to chit when they stopped playing with a certain quarterback. if anything, its the other way around.

and dont give me any past-their-prime names or super-system offenses.

You're missing the point. The INT still gets put on the QB regardless of what happens. It's the way team sports work, your stats always going to be dependent on what others do.

And you must hate Brady. Last year 52% of his pass yards were YAC. Pats entire offense is based on getting WRs ball in space.

im not even trippin on all that.

im moreso focused on ridiculous stuff like this andrew luck play where i cant even tell you the name of the guy who busted his @$$ for 60 yards but andrew's 3 yard toss is instant legend.

2010 Colts
Wayne 1355 yards, 6 TD (16 games)
Collie 649 Yards 8 TD (9 games)
Garcon 787 Yards 6 TD (14 games)

2011 Colts
Wayne 960 Yards 4 TD (16 games)
Collie 515 yards 1 TD (16 games)
Garcon 947 Yards 6 TD (16 games)

Drop off of 370 yards, 12 TD. As a group their stats went down despite playing an additional 9 games in '11.

What did the likes of David Givens, David Patten, Branch do without Brady?

 

[Nintendough]

a good point guard makes the players around him better. cant say the same for a quarterback.

Do you watch football?

Joe Montana is ths father of this.

Who cares. The receiver still gets those reception yards...and nowadays yac stats are tracked too.

The INT goes to the QB and only the QB.

LOL I knew this was about the Andrew luck pass


I feel the same way

I kind of agree with the OP, when it comes to QB passing yards. Like if on three consecutive drives the QB threw a pass 5 yards and the WR took it the rest of the 95 yards, on his stats it would say he passed for 300 yards, when in reality he only passed for 15 and the WR ran for 285.

I think it can skew the perception on how much the QB actually does. If you just seen the numbers, you'd be like damn dude just passed for 300 yards in one game, he had a great game. Just like the lingo, it would say he has a 100-yard touchdown pass, like he literally threw the ball 100 yards down the field, when in reality he threw for 5 and the receiver ran for 95.

 

[PremierDaTruth]

So should the WRs yards not start counting until after the catch? Have to have it both ways right

 

[HHR]

Not a single person would assume the QB threw the ball 100 yards in the air you dummy

 

[heisenburrr]

In those cases (luck) it does get overblown but you can't discredit QBs like this all the time

As if a 100 yard TD pass is even possible. Just goes to show the types we are dealing with here.
