QB's total score ratio

I Love Clams Casino : 1/15/2019 3:45 pm

Heard a co-worker quote a stat from Golic and Wingo this morning....

I couldn't find it, so I compiled a few of the numbers myself. It's the points scored by the QB's in relation to the total points scored in the season by the entire team.

Obviously each TD throw is 6 points X the number of TD's thrown by the QB divided by the total score.

Eli was responsible for roughly 34% of the Giants total production this year. Of the QB's numbers I ran, Eli was the lowest, but I compared mostly to playoff teams.

I made sure all the QBs rated played a full 16 games

Ben R 47%
Pat M 53%
Aaron Rodgers 39%
Andrew Luck 54%
Drew Brees 38%...that one shocked me
Jarrod Goff 36%

I'm sure there are some details I'm missing, but for the most part I think it's correct.

Doesn't seem that meaningful.

Sure scoring plays, and how you get them, matters. But to say Eli is responsible for that %, and not responsible for the balance is disingenuous. Drive the field on the strength of the passing game, then punch it in on the ground, and count those points as outside the QB's responsibility? That doesn't make much sense. Looking blindly at scoring plays without the context of what led to the score doesn't seem to tell much about the QB's contribution to the score.

(Also, unless you're taking extra points out of the scoring altogether, you have to count TD's as 7, otherwise you're unfairly overweighting other TD's and underweighting the QB's TD throws).

Having A Top Takent At RB Will Lower The Ratio

No D Prescott on the list. Goff is pretty low too.

What was Eli�s ratio last year or in 2016?

Ugh
