BringBackOrton Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The Tyrod "he needs good WR's" crowd is the exact same pathology as the EJ "look at Peyton Manning's first 14 games" crowd. That Venn diagram is a circle. Edited June 21, 2018 by BringBackOrton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 cumulative since 2015 are Matt Ryan, Big Ben, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Kirk Cousins. and the Yards per Touch stat is a significant factor in my QB rating system. Thanks you know what the rankings were each year? 5 hours ago, BringBackOrton said: Yeah, just like the quotes about how Woods and Watkins suck and TT needs REAL WR's to play well. Back in 2016. INT's have differences in field position too my dude. A strip sack is worse than a 60 yard bomb that's intercepted. "Everyone cherry picks but me." A strip sack is, very simply, a lost fumble. I think Taylor had 2 this year. I guarantee that's not the most in the NFL. It's probably more like average, if not better. But despite the fact that you are being kind of sarcastic and mean, thank you for very much proving my point: There's nothing new to glean from this incredibly flawed and incomplete system.

Thurman#1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) 7 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: "The oldest, most simple and predictive stat" is not yards per pass. It's turnover differential. 78%. Not just "over the course of time"........practically the same 78% year in and year out. Things like yards per pass can be greatly influenced by surrounding talent. So if you have a WR corps that gets the least separation in the NFL.....as advanced stats suggest was the case in Buffalo in 2017.....I think it's reasonable to consider that a handicap to that teams QB's ability to get high amounts of yardage per pass attempt. The WR situation in Buffalo in 2016 and 2017 was horrendous. In 2015 with a better and healthier WR corps Taylor had a ypa of 8.0 which is very high. I've often held that Tyrod is a lot like Randall Cunningham wrt things like ypa. Cunningham spent most of his career with BAD WR's and was basically a sub 7.0 ypa passer. Except one year when he got Randy Moss and Chris Carter and Jake Reed for a full season and QB'd what was up to that point the highest scoring team in NFL history......with an 8.7 ypa. Tyrod has a skillset that can give you elite numbers like an 8.0 ypa if you give him the talent. If ypa can make guys like Tyrod and Cunningham look like All Pro's what does that say about ypa as a stand alone indicator of QB ability? 78%? Where are you coming up with that? Or maybe what stat exactly are you talking about? It certainly isn't what percentage of teams that win the turnover battle win the game. That's closer to 65%. https://fansided.com/2014/08/12/nfl-studying-turnovers-affect-winning-percentage/ So Salfino's stat on YPA is very interesting indeed, and is more highly correlated.

Jay_Fixit Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I’m as big a numbers and calculations guy as anyone but sometimes to just have to put those down and use your eyes. Tyrod just isn’t very good. Running around, avoiding pressure for 5 seconds then completing a 7 yard pass on 3rd and 11 is something we saw too often. Guy is talented, guy is far from a terrible QB. But he’s just not a good QB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Tyrod stays healthy and Hue Jackson isn't a complete **** show, I think the Browns will be playing meaningful games into December and Tyrod will be making a lot of people on here look stupid....even though they already look stupid.? Why on earth would you assume that? What further evidence are you waiting for to convince you that he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 15 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Unfortunately I’m somewhat forced to watch the Browns here. They are on the big screen at the bar I go to watch the Bills. The incompetence and coaching is staggeringly brutal. You don’t go 1-31 with a last place schedule by accident. They have improved in some areas, and could win a few more games this year but they will still suck until/unless Mayfield takes off and Hue is replaced. That’s the bottom line, imo. Tyrod should help them not go winless if he starts which is the plan. Could beat teams like the Jets etc. I know that it's been insane the last 2 years and I can't believe Hue is still there. With all the draft picks and cap money and now TT, I'm just really curious to see IF they can turn things around. It will also give me a chance to watch the other AFC North teams which I have not really seen play much in the last few years. Next year I will pick a team in the AFC South.

I know what I see as a casual fan but some of the numbers on sack % and 3 and outs are startling. Click on 1st tweet to read whole thread. Quick question because I don't know - does he include Taylor's rushing TDs? Because if he doesn't, the whole argument is flawed. Also, the biggest problems with sacks is that they cause a ton of fumbles by the QB. Taylor hardly ever fumbled. So the analysis is pretty shaky overall despite making a number of valid points. Mind you, I don't think Taylor is elite or the answer. He's average, but reading this tweetstorm would never lead you to believe that. Leaves out stuff that makes him look good and focuses only on the negative. When I say he's average, I mean it: the team was over .500 when he started despite fielding pretty lousy defenses most of the time he was here.
