or suckiest depending on if you have an axe to grind or not

Pro Football reference blog put out a list of QB numbers adjusted for strength of schedule for last season. It's a fun diversion to see who's numbers were grossly inflated last year (hint: AFC East) and wonders why everyone's so mean to poor Tony Romo.

Hah, and people mocked me for saying Rivers should have been the MVP last year. Or that Penny is very good.

And yes CS, YPA is a big deal in measuring QB performance.

No SMF, it doesn't mean that TJ is "BETTER" than PM overall, it means that he performed better with those parameters.

Tavarais MUCH less pass attempts. However, and I pointed this out a few weeks ago with about our WR corp's td production.

I would do a comparison between Jake, Romo and Rivers.

Romo threw only 36 more passes yet produced 11 more td's.

Rivers threw 64 more passes and produced 19 MORE td's.

I love Jake but he was awful last year especially in several games, he looked like a frakkin retard. ie: Oakland,Tampa and playoff game.

Hopefully he will turn it around this year.

I don't think he was awful in the Tampa game. His stat line was awful. He put some good balls in play and gave guys a chance to make plays......too many went off the hands of WRs. I didn't have a problem w/ a lot of the "bad" throws that game.

I will give him a pass since he did the unthinkable and came back from Tommy John. Who knows, we might see the guy who took the field in 07 prior to his injury this year. One can hope.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
