Quote:It is pretty clear to see that the option read is being easily neutralized in it's second NFL year. Just look at the statlines for RG3 and Kaep.

 

RG3 2012: 20 TD 5 INT 65.6% Completion 5.1% TD Percentage 1.3% INT Percentage 8.1 YPA Passer Rtg: 102.4 QBR: 71.41

RG3 2013: 6 TD 5 INT 59.8% Completion 2.9% TD Percentage 2.4% INT Percentage 6.9 YPA Passer Rtg: 80.4 QBR: 30.86

 

Kaep 2012: 10 TD 3 INT 62.4% Completion 4.6% TD Percentage 1.4% INT Percentage 8.3 YPA Passer Rtg: 98.3 QBR: 76.79

Kaep 2013: 8 TD 5 INT 55.9% Completion 5.0 TD Percentage 3.1% INT Percentage 7.2 YPA Passer Rtg: 83.9 QBR: 56.04

 

QBR and passer ratings have fallen off of a cliff, YPA is down by more than a yard per player and they are throwing INT's at double the frequency they were last season. Mariotta will have to adapt and become a pocket passer if he wants success in this league. I think that he can do it, but for this reason alone you stick with Teddy as #1.
