Magox Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 @nfldraftscout: EJ Manuel has 2nd fewest pass attempts over 20 yards among starting NFL QBs. Defenses will adjust to this, likely this week. hmmm http://www.nfl.com/s...qualified=false Says otherwise - Tied for 4th most in the league Not that I want to defend the dude, but he said "pass attempts" not pass completions.

billsfan1959 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow, Matt Miller must be a TBDer. OK, which one of you is he? I think there are about 5 very real possibilities.... I really hate to defend this guy, but you're looking at completions, which can include YAC...he's talking about attempts for which the ball is in the air at least 20 yards. Still, it is interesting. Only Ryan (3 more), Foles (2 more), and Stafford (1 more) have more 20+ yard completions than EJ. Two points: 1) I'm sure they have some that are a product of YAC as well and (2) all three have at least 32 more attempts than EJ. Just interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The anger you guys direct toward him is funny. And exactly what he's looking for. I follow him and enjoy it.

YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) @ChrisTrapasso: In '13, @PFF's Top 12-rated QBs averaged throwing passes 20+ yards downfield on 12.9% of their attempts. EJ Manuel's at 10.4% thru two games @ChrisTrapasso: Also, all of those Top 12 @PFF rated QBs finished with *at least* 57% of their attempts coming from 0-9 yards beyond LOS or behind it.

blargo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I do not have a stat for this, but just a perception. My perception is through 2 games EJ is not checking down as much as he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 @ChrisTrapasso: Also in '13, per @PFF, Brady, Rodgers, Manning, Wilson, Romo & Ryan had more than 64% of their attempts come 0-9 yds beyond LOS or behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think Matt's a little pissed because his draft analysis of EJ is going out the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think Matt's a little pissed because his draft analysis of EJ is going out the window he still hasn't looked at EJs film from weeks 1 and 2 though because he's too busy trolling bills fans on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon in Pasadena Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Is there a source for 20+ yards in the air? Yeah, some vinegar+water balloon over at BleacherReport makes them up. I think his name is Mack Millstein, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly McButterpants Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The problem is, he appears to give EJ no credit ever! He is not objective about it, he thought EJ sucked from the beginning and wants to be proven right so bad, he won't relinquish anything. EJ has done what he needs to do so far, and has done a good job doing it. How about a little objectivity and thereby, praise for some of the things he did. This . . .

Dr. Fong Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Will the Bills lose on Sunday? Maybe. But it really seems like you'd have to be an extra snarky !@#$ to feel the need to point it out when Bills fans are in the middle of one of their few bright patches over the past several years. Pick the Chargers all you want, just do you really have to make such a big deal about it? Of course I'd like to see the Bills win Sunday, but even losing to the Chargers won't mean that the Bills aren't a good team. They just got through dismantling the world champions.

starrymessenger Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I know, who? @nfldraftscout He has almost 100k followers He hates EJ too. I stopped following him awhile back because he really negative but this got RTd @nfldraftscout: If the Bills beat the Chargers, I'll make my profile picture the Bills logo for the entire week. #ainthappening Oh yes it is happening.
