Quarterback Stats

* What stood out to me : 

  • McCaffrey leads the team in yards from scrimmage and is tied for the lead in total touchdowns, has the most receptions on the team, and has the 2nd most receiving yards. Also has a much better catch rate than our WRs. He's the MVP of the offense so far among non QBs. 
  • Russell Shepard has an abysmal catch rate having after being targeted over 30 times he's only caught about half the passes his way
  • Cam Newton has by far and away the highest yards per carry among players with at least 80 rushing attempts, and has the most rushing TDs. He's literally our most efficient running back, and hes the QB. Let that one sink in. 
  • Jonathan Stewart has double the carries McCaffrey has had, yet has a worse rushing average . He's also had 4 games that he rushed for below 2 yards a carry. 
  • McCaffrey has only had 2 games with 10 or more carries, Stewart has had 11 games where he had 10 or more carries. 

 

What are your opinions?

yea that boggles the damn mind considering how many carries Stew has gotten. Any other OC would have been trying another back besides Stew and CMC after week 5 at the latest.

Sample size is too small to say CAP is going to keep an average anywhere near that in play. If you take away his one long run, his average is only like 3.2 per carry... no better than the rest.

which seems to indicate a run blocking problem in general

Cam's YPC can't be compared to running backs.  Most of Cam's good yardage plays are opportunistic where he exploits a scrambling opportunity and gets good yardage before contact.  If our running backs only had to carry the ball when an obvious hole was in front of them I'm pretty confident the YPC would be better.  Other than that, why isn't CAP getting more opportunity?

My takeaways:

- Cam is having a great year despite the injuries, considering at least 4 of those INTs are the result of the WRs knocking into the air or in the case of Stew, literally fumbling it into the defender.

- For all the grief CMC gets as a runner on this board, Stew has been considerably worse and I'd rather have CMC as the feature back.

- Give CAP some more snaps for gods sake.

- Russell Shepard has been a huge disappointment while Ed Dickson has been a pleasant surprise.

You won't get an argument for me there. I think we have newly wealthy people syndrome on both lines... KK and Trai have had those post-big money contract let down seasons. And Matt Kalil has been playing like he's taking this year's paychecks and hoping they send him home at the end of the season with those easy money checks yet to come.

Yeah exactly, the sample size is already very small (13 carries) and you want to take away his longest rush? That’s like 8% of his carries that you suggest we disregard. Not to mention it was a beautiful run.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
