But it drives your point home even more. We finished with 3 losses in '03 (with a 3rd year QB). The OL was very young and they gave up about 45 sacks. That has to account for some of the 11 INT's.BulldogBryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278897630475820366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668303417231062245.post-49662469019990956802010-03-01T12:07:02.433-08:002010-03-01T12:07:02.433-08:00Ok, Pete...fine.

Per your request, the yardage per attempt (and for fun, per completion)<br /><br /> YPA YPC<br /><br />2001 8.61 14.53<br />2002C 7.72 13.41<br />2003E 7.55 12.53<br />2004 8.39 14.33<br />2005C 8.66 14.96<br />2006 6.83 12.96<br />2007 7.25 13.00<br />2008 9.03 14.72<br />2009 7.81 13.97<br /><br />Still doesn't do anything for me.<br />Cox's '09 totals are better than both of Greene's "Title" years, and lower than Shock's season and Greene's initial 8-4 year. Stafford showed minimal improvement from year 1-2, and great improvement from year 2-3, yet the team suffered.<br /><br />Sorry, my previous assessment remains - it ain't the QB. I've decided to look into more stats...this blog will be a x-number-of-parts series.Ben Dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461781656555739470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668303417231062245.post-21115686712114932692010-03-01T11:14:01.595-08:002010-03-01T11:14:01.595-08:00How about throwing yards per attempt into that han...How about throwing yards per attempt into that handy little chart? I think that may clear up some of the statistical oddities you are seeing.<br /><br />A lower completion % is more acceptable if your YPA is higher (ie, you the passes you are completing are getting you down the field).ThePetishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240942024279018380noreply@blogger.com
