An Interesting Note On Cam From My QBA Research

As I've mentioned before, I've been working hard on developing my own quarterback metric that I feel is more accurate of a quarterback's performance than passer rating.

So far, I've managed to both simplify the formula and improve it's accuracy to over 5% more accurate than passer rating, averaging an 84% percentage of games correctly predicted.

What is interesting about all of this is that it shows that Cam has had 5 losses in his career despite having the higher QBA, among the highest of all quarterbacks in my dataset.

When you see which games they are it makes you sad, because we know them well:

In other notes, I think I'm just about finished with the formula. It has accurately predicted 39 more games over the last 3 seasons than passer rating, which is usually the gold standard for winning metrics. I also think it does a great job delineating between quality quarterbacks and subpar ones.

And before anyone asks me about Matt Moore's ranking, he has one game in the database, and if he a 70 QBA average over a full season it would be terrific but for a single game it's merely a notch above average.

omg....Cam has the ability to play well, that is all the metric I need to hear. What is the point of all these numbers when you can see with your own eyes whether a QB is playing well or not? You can do all the analysis you want, Cam is a good quarterback and is mobile, and capable of dynamic plays. Every passer can have a bad game, trying to predict it and what not is ridiculous.

It's not about predicting future play, it's quantifying individual performances to try to show why a particular QB won a game. Or if they didn't, why they still played well enough to win, as in Cam's case, but the team around him didn't uphold its side of the deal.

      Injury report

      By Icege · Posted

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
