Cam's QB Ratings


MedellinHeel

Recommended Posts

Just goes to show you that stats need to be in context.  Cam has done a pretty job when he needs to and obviously running doesnt count in passer ratings so it really doesnt apply as well to him as to many other guys.  If you look at pure passer stats, Cam is the worst quarterback in the division and behind Bortles who we thumped last week.

I just came across a really interesting statistic re: Cam that I don't recall seeing discussed, at least not recently.  I was playing around at the Sporting Charts site, and I happened to look at Rushing 1st down %.

For 2015 so far, Cam ranks 2nd behind Russell Wilson:

Player Rushing First Down Percentage
RankPlayerPosTeamRushing First DownsRushing AttemptsRushing First Downs %
1Russell WilsonQBSEA71838.9
2Cam NewtonQBCAR92437.5
3Carlos HydeRBSF143935.9
4Giovani BernardRBCIN102835.7
5Colin KaepernickQBSF51631.3

 

 Well, we're only 2 games into the season, so maybe this doesn't mean so much.  So... I looked at the 2014 data.  Guess who led the league in Rushing First Down %?  Yes, it would be our QB:

Here are last year's top 10.  J Stew not too shabby either, coming in at #9.  Perhaps we don't have the most flashy rushing game in the league, but looks like our runs, especially by Cam are particularly effective in moving the chains:

Cam said he wanted his completion percentage to be around 65%. I said it then and I'll say it now, I doubt he gets close to that this year. Not with the scrubs were trotting out at WR. He'll complete around what Eli and Luck complete (58-59%) and rushing numbers will be high like his first two years.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
