255 Aaron Rodgers
230 Case Keenum

ProFootballTalk: Aaron Rodgers avoids interceptions, but he leads the NFL in bad plays - ( New Window )

Very interesting!



Not really.
Obviously this stat is wrong

It doesn't support the agenda that Eli is an above average starting QB..
In another study...

the average weight of a human head is 8 LBS.
Of the four,

who has the worst OL?

This is why PFT is a joke.

In fact, if we add up every quarterback’s interceptions, incompletions, sacks and fumbles and compile them all into one stat we’ll call “bad plays,” Rodgers is actually the worst in the NFL.


There's no analysis here. It's simply a tally of all negative passing plays with all of the attribution placed on the QB. Missed OL blocking assignment? QB's fault. Dropped pass? QB's fault. Threw the ball away when nobody was open on 1st down? QB's fault, bad play! Bad QB, bad!

Not arguing that any of these guys are having a great season, but this is the laziest, least meaningful analysis I've seen in a long, long time. For context, Tom Brady has 203, Mahomes has 206, Dak Prescott is barely asked to do anything and he has 207. Oh, and Roethlisberger mysteriously doesn't appear on their list of league leaders even though he has 227 "negative plays". They can't even compile their own fucking list accurately! Bush. League.
Is it still a pressure

if the qb completes the pass for a first down?

I read a study recently that said that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. Revolutionary stuff!
Dogs and bees smell fear.

Actually  
Cap'n Bluebeard : 12/18/2018 8:32 am : link
I'm almost as bad as PFT. Those numbers don't even include fumbles. So to update:

Roethlisberger - 233
Prescott - 219
Mahomes - 215
Brady - 207
Luck  
Cap'n Bluebeard : 12/18/2018 8:36 am : link
Luck is at 216 as well.

Without Sterling Shepard's 5 drops on Sunday, Eli Manning would be playing at the same level as Mahomes and Luck! Who says we need a new QB?
Rodgers leading that stat  
gmenatlarge : 12/18/2018 9:47 am : link
is definitely Mccarthy's fault...
That stat is complete Horseshit  
ZogZerg : 12/18/2018 9:55 am : link
And people run with it like it is meaningful.
LOL
