QB Fumble % - Cam does very well


AntiBuc

Recommended Posts

One thing I noticed several times during the season was how Cam was very good at holding on to the ball when defenders would get to his blind side and hack at his arm or hand while he's about to throw. With most QBs, that'd be a fumble, but I was impressed with his single-handed grip on the ball. The guy must have huge mits.

That said, I looked at some stats on pro-football-reference.com and while there's no official stat for % of plays that results in a fumble for QBs, I put together an unofficial stat sheet. Obviously variables that can't be taken into consideration are the strength of o-line/protection, quick-strike passes, etc. But just to get an idea of about where the Panthers rate, here's the ranking for just QB fumbles as a % of (pass attempts + QB rush attempts). To keep the list manageable, I included only those with at least 200 pass attempts.

1 - D Brees - .15

2 - C Palmer - .58

3 - A Rodgers - .71

4 - M Stafford - .73

5 - M Hasselbeck - .74

6 - C Newton - .78

7 - M Ryan - .83

8 - A Dalton - .90

9 - T Brady - .92

10 - M Schaub - .98

11 - R Fitzpatrick - 1.12

12 - E Manning - 1.28

13 - T Romo - 1.29

14 - J Skelton - 1.32

15 - P Rivers - 1.48

16 - J Freeman - 1.49

17 - K Orton - 1.52

18 - B Roethlisberger - 1.65

19 - R Grossman - 1.67

20 - M Cassell - 1.70

21 - M Sanchez - 1.72

22 - A Smith - 1.81

23 - T Jackson - 1.84

24 - C Ponder - 1.88

25 - C Painter - 1.92

26 - M Vick - 2.00

27 - J Flacco - 2.07

28 - C McCoy - 2.10

29 - J Cutler - 2.11

30 - S Bradford - 2.67

31 - K Kolb - 2.96

32 - B Gabbert - 3.04

33 - T The Golden Calf of Bristol - 3.54

34 - M Moore - 3.69

To give you an idea of the range:

Brees had 1 fumble against 657 pass/21 QB run attempts;

Cam had 5 fumbles against 517 pass/126 QB run attempts;

Matt Moore had 14 fumbles against 347 pass/32 QB run attempts.

This is not part of the stat, but FYI, Brees had 0 fumble recoveries, Cam had 3 and Matt Moore had 3 fumble recoveries. The stat sheet doesn't indicate whether the fumbles recovered were their own or another player's fumble.

All-in-all, a pretty impressive showing for our rookie QB.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
