Quote:Just so you're clear, the Jags get 4.2 yards after the catch, the Titans 5.2. That obviously explains why Mariota has a higher completion % (65 vs 56), YPA (8 vs 7), and TD% (6.5 vs 5.5). No matter how you slice it, Mariota has been more effective and efficient on a per play basis.

 

Just so you are clear...  The stat YAC has nothing to do with completion percentage or TD%...  I mean, you realize that, right?   You are the one that said you are a PhD candidate...  But you are mixing numbers and it looks like it's confusing you...

 

We've gone over the completion percentage, something you are intellectiually dishonest about in regards to the different things each team is asking of thier QBs.  The tacks want thier QB to check down and throw short yardage passes.  BB5 is throwing deeper down the field and must go through progressions in order to make the right read.  The tacks are ensuring a 1st read quick throw that are high probability of completions.  

 

I mean, am I going to fast for you?  Or are you going to ignore this as well?

 

Would you agree that the majority of Maricotta's throws are short yardage check downs or first read quick outs?  

 

Would you agree that the majority of BB5's throws are on deeper passing routes?

 

These 2 questions must be answered before we can talk about "efficiancy".  A west coast offense will have a higher completion %.  I mean, you realize that, right?  Like in the game of football, there are different approaches to the passing game, correct?
