Quote:I guess what I'm saying is that why aren't his numbers universally bad then no matter the defensive scheme? Timing, accuracy and proper/efficient mechanics are, as you said, fundamental aspects of a QB. One would think they'd just be a mess regardless of his situation, but instead...we generally see these issues arise under very specific circumstances (i.e. pressure from the front 4) and I guess that's what I don't quite understand.


To simplify: Why is he shredding blitzes if his timing, accuracy and mechanics are awful? Shouldn't we get the same result regardless?


Thanks for responding by the way, NYC. I knew you would and I appreciate all your insight.

One reason it fluctuates is that he's a pretty good improviser when he leaves the pocket and for some weird reason his throwing motion and accuracy are better when he's on the move. Hence all of those designed roll outs yesterday.

It kind of defies logic, but it's true.


His periods of poor decision making also affect/skew his situational stat line.
