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.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
