50 but yeah people always seem to forget about it. I haven’t because I was so thrilled to see a real deep ball but haven’t seen it again since.

Exactly! It isn't that rare. My point was his argument about Youngs lack of passing yards against the Falcons and Jets wasn't as bad a thing as he was trying to make it to be.

Even if we don't, if Dalton mimics last year's performance, we need to look for better, though it will cost us to cut him.

Newton is a dickhead for that, but goddamn I would not get in a fight with him. He's a monstrously big human being, that mascot needs to check himself.

!

Lol

Brady averaged less than 180 yards his first 6 games in 01, went on to win the sb. I still don't see what your point is. This probably isn't that rare.

I remember him ripping down that Green Bay sign at BoA. I miss Cam

The mascot must have deserved it

You're right. My bad. I stand corrected.

Well yeah…something about bullfrogs and wings.

Much more useful for helping you with your own info and processes.

I have alot of bad memories of Bryce too, way more than good

He's probably looking somewhere that takes away rushing yards for sacks or something. To continue this "pedantic about data science" rant, not sure how you adjust for Bryce getting a coach specifically to craft an offense for him vs. Cam's offensive coordinator getting fired from Alabama for being too conservative and is also about to be found dead in a creek outside Columbia.

I'm going to humor you in case you're actually being sincere and are just ignorant. Also, you're not very good at tossing barbs. Please stop. I did not say random; I said arbitrary. That is a much different thing. You're comparing QBR in starts across multiple coaching staffs, seasons, offensive personnel, against defenses with wildly variable of levels of competency, and don't really have a lot of data points. Choosing the dividing line at pre and post benching is arbitrary, and it's not even consistent. He was benched in his first season too. Why not when Reich was fired? Or when Canales was hired? Or when they drafted XL? Also, what are potential lurking variables here? I would if I was grading this tell you that you're not really showing anything useful. If your argument is that his QBR has trended up on a per game average from "this point" on then congrats yes you're correct. This is called cherry picking data. I understand you're trying to make this quick and dirty, but QB rating by itself doesn't really paint a useful picture. A simple thing you could do it do a second line along the same time domains of what the defense ranked league wide at the time they played each other. I would try to use a cumulative stat from the same source, tho. So qb rating v scoring defense across these specific truncated set of games that have occurred across three seasons with multiple coaching staff. Some other suggestions for you 1. This is the wrong type of graph. You want a scatter point. 2. The range for QB rating improvement is like 15 points or whatever. The y axis is broken up into 25s. How can I quantify the line? 3. Quarterback rating goes to 158.3. Why does your line only go to 125? The only thing I would really take from this is that Bryce Young sucks in a way that QB rating doesn't pick up on. This is what you'd call a "problem with the data." Lastly, I would point out that QB rating as a formula was finalized in 1973. Offenses were so anemic back then it's referred to as the "dead ball era." Maybe not the best metric to measure QB success half a century later. like buddy i've taken masters level data science courses, and believe me I've done some shitty fuging work. my masters thesis ended up being about why my method of data collection didn't work well enough for me to defend my thesis. I wrote 100 pages just kinda shrugging and saying "Well ya know covid is so challenging etc." You're trying to tell people their eyes are lying to them and are posting a very bad graph to do so. Don't be upset when people not only argue with you but point out how bad your graph is.

The first 6 games of 2015? He averaged 40 yards rushing and 210 yards passing for 250 yards per game, at least so says pfr... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NewtCa00/gamelog/2015/#63-68-sum:stats

I hope he balls out but our memories of the Washington game are still fresh

Didn't he get into a fight with another masscot or was it someone at a camp. I can't remember

Yes, I would think that a .500 record should be a reasonable expectation. The ability to get defensive pressure, consistently and with results, without having to manufacture that pass rush with a blitz, is a vey big deficiency though.

Keep cherry picking lol

If you can't understand something that simple, than you are correct it's not worth my time

Exactly!

LOL. I can assure you it was NOT me.

Jameis Winston averaged close to 270 yards per game his first three years and we see what that got him. It's not all about the yards.
