Quarterbacks Getting Credit For Receivers' YAC Unappreciation Thread

[tru_m.a.c]

Like I'd personally want some stats on offensive lineman outside of pancake/sacks allowed

There's no reason I shouldn't be able to open a link and see how affective my team is when running through the 3 hole as opposed to the 4

or how well my defense is in the A vs the C

we got nerds out here lol....let them dudes eat

There is a yards in the air stat.

Eli lead the league in that last year.

Football is weird sport when it comes to stats. Every other major sport u could look at season & box scores and pretty get how good/bad someone is. Football stats could be directly tied to a system or how well talent is around a qb/wr. U will be a fool lookin at stats when it comes to ranking players in football.

There are just some awful, AWFUL opinions in this thread

I'm out...

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

bruh, thats the point of having the discussion

stats can be split open and broken up MANY TIMES

You could easily still keep the receiving yards as a high level summary of their performance

but you need finer details when you're actually trying to get someone cut from a team

They already have a yards in the air stat, as pointed out above.

There's no point in touching how passing and receiving yards are defined.

No matter how you slice them, stats will always be just stats. You need to watch the game to get the full picture.

lol really??? I think football outsiders destroys conventional wisdom when it comes to this

sacks/interceptions ridiculously skew player ratings

essentially that is why you need stats, to level the playing field and reward those who deserve rewarding

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.

clutch post

I didn't think some people could be so stupid when it comes to talking sports

this always sickens me.

today, espn is throwing a parade for andrew luck's 3-yard pass that was turned into a 60-something yard touchdown by the receiver. to make it worst, they compared it to when peyton did the same exact thing on his 1st preseason pass as well. i cant even tell you who caught the pass yesterday.

at least despite all the hoop-la today, andrew luck said it was great how all he had to do was throw a 3-yard pass.

list some more examples. f*ck this chit.

the most blatant was tebow last year in the playoffs
