Quote:You can define garbage time however you want since there is no real standard. If you say it was a very small percentage of his 2015 stats were garbage time then you have an exceedingly restrictive definition of it.


The best way I've seen to explain his 2015 is that 39% of his stats came when the Jags were trailing by 10+ points. The next highest was Derek Carr at 18% I believe it was (could be a little off on that). Regardless, it was right around double the next highest in the league, not double the NFL average, double the 2nd highest. That's a massive amount of "come from behind stats".


His stats when the games were close were awfully pedestrian, and extremely inefficient.

This is where your short sighted approach is glaringly obvious. You're not accounting for all variables so your numbers are bunk.


Most of his stats came from when the team was behind by 10 or more. Ok. How often were the jaguars behind by ten or more points? How often were the raiders? What's the league average? Etc...


You can take a few numbers and skew them any way you want.
