  1. 1. There is room on the bandwagon



Recommended Posts

we face brady, favre, manning and brees in the next 4 games and our defense just gave up 360+ passing to the rookie freeman! (sure, 4 pics due to poor decisions of an inexperienced QB but those other veterans won't make those throws.)

1-4.

new england has lost two in a row and will be very hungry at home next week. and us coming off a win over a 1-10 team and maybe have a little over inflated expectations, i'd say we're in trouble.

3-2. I have confidence in my team, not because of a win over a 1-10 team, but because the Turnover Machine isn't playing.

This team just needed someone who can throw a ball close enough that a receiver can actually catch it. That's all. A good passing attack must complement a good rushing attack for an offense to be good enough to win. One side of the attack cannot take all the weight against a good defense, lest that side of the offense crumble under the pressure. Once one side crumbles, the other follows. If the offense crumbles, the defense crumbles. It's how the game goes. All aspects of a team must complement and support each other for a team to win. A balanced team is a good team. Of course, you need good players for your team to be good. Turnover Machines (Delhomme, Freeman, and Warner, for good examples we have all seen in our games this season) lose games. So, yes, a team can very easily fall on the shoulders of one man...

    • I'm going to humor you in case you're actually being sincere and are just ignorant. Also, you're not very good at tossing barbs. Please stop.  I did not say random; I said arbitrary. That is a much different thing.  You're comparing QBR in starts across multiple coaching staffs, seasons, offensive personnel, against defenses with wildly variable of levels of competency, and don't really have a lot of data points. Choosing the dividing line at pre and post benching is arbitrary, and it's not even consistent. He was benched in his first season too. Why not when Reich was fired? Or when Canales was hired? Or when they drafted XL?  Also, what are potential lurking variables here? I would if I was grading this tell you that you're not really showing anything useful. If your argument is that his QBR has trended up on a per game average from "this point" on then congrats yes you're correct. This is called cherry picking data.  I understand you're trying to make this quick and dirty, but QB rating by itself doesn't really paint a useful picture. A simple thing you could do it do a second line along the same time domains of what the defense ranked league wide at the time they played each other. I would try to use a cumulative stat from the same source, tho. So qb rating v scoring defense across these specific truncated set of games that have occurred across three seasons with multiple coaching staff.  Some other suggestions for you  1. This is the wrong type of graph. You want a scatter point.  2. The range for QB rating improvement is like 15 points or whatever. The y axis is broken up into 25s. How can I quantify the line?  3. Quarterback rating goes to 158.3. Why does your line only go to 125?  The only thing I would really take from this is that Bryce Young sucks in a way that QB rating doesn't pick up on. This is what you'd call a "problem with the data."  Lastly, I would point out that QB rating as a formula was finalized in 1973. Offenses were so anemic back then it's referred to as the "dead ball era." Maybe not the best metric to measure QB success half a century later. like buddy i've taken masters level data science courses, and believe me I've done some shitty fuging work. my masters thesis ended up being about why my method of data collection didn't work well enough for me to defend my thesis. I wrote 100 pages just kinda shrugging and saying "Well ya know covid is so challenging etc."  You're trying to tell people their eyes are lying to them and are posting a very bad graph to do so. Don't be upset when people not only argue with you but point out how bad your graph is.
