Teddy's 2020 Adjusted INTs

Adjusted Interceptions: What it Means

The adjusted interception metric examines elements such as when a potential pick is dropped by a defender or broken up by a receiver, as well as situations in which a QB throws a pick because of a Hail-Mary attempt or a desperation throw in the final seconds of a game.

There are a couple of situations that adjusted interceptions don't account for, such as when a defender makes a great play on a ball (though that can be subjective) and when a receiver doesn't run a proper route (but that requires knowing the play call and where the receiver was supposed to go).

Bridgewater had 11 interceptions but had seven potential picks that were dropped or broken up, and none came in a late-game situation. In other words, Bridgewater wasn't as careful with the ball as it appears at first glance.

Regardless, it's clear Lock needs to show improvement if he is going to be the long-term guy. But the adjusted interception tally is a reminder that, when evaluating Lock, Bridgewater, or any other QB, context matters — and that means watching each play and understanding the situation.

I read that whole article for the payoff to be, "If you want to have an informed opinion, watch the games."

This sorta lines up with the opinions being expressed on ESPN's radio coverage of the draft during the Bronco's pick when they didn't select a QB.

Let's just say it made for some amusing radio that the Host was not at all pleased that her team didn't pick up a QB with their pick (She also had some strong words on the overall Bronco QB situation as it currently stands)

I don't want to be that guy that says he just wasn't very good, so I'm not going to say it.

I will say it! He sucked!!! I remember watching all those games last year, with the ball in his hands, and watched him lose EVERY GAME!!!! Don't throw it 2 yards on 4th and 8!!! WTF!!!! I am so glad he's gone. AT least, Darnold isn't afraid to sling it down field. You can teach a guy how to play better football. You can't teach Teddy to have some cajones.

    • I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size. 
    • I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.
    • I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
