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.

I'm sure it is Brady and Rhule's fault somehow.

We didn't spend a lot of time going over the importance of not turning the ball over in practice, I'm almost sure of it.

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)

should have practiced more redzone and 2 minute drills....

Factor in the "reduced touchdown metric" which eliminates passes to wide open guys within 10 yards that then do all the work and he likely had a solid 6 TD, 18 INT year

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 felt like a salty bitch making the comment I did...but this...this I like.

Lock played fewer games too.

Funny how those of us that warned people about him in the offseason have so much company on the anti-Teddy train now.

It just took a season of watching him mainly be the problem and then throwing people under the bus.
