    What you say here is absolutely true, and I agree. I never said Mett was the reason we were in those ****** situations. I put that on the entire team.

    What I am saying though, is those situations allowed him to boost his stats. The fact that he had OVER 80% of his passing yards in +10 yards to go shows that he benefited a lot from it. Those IMO are garbage yards. because the D didn't care if he picks up 6,7,8 yards as long as he isn't picking up the 1st.

    Are you really saying that it doesn't concern you that 1000 out of 1400 of his yards came from +10 yards to go situations? You don't think that shows he was probably was just taking a chunk of yardage that the D was conceding to ensure that they could keep everything in front of the 1st down marker

    As far as the points thing ... again, not saying it was Mett's fault that we were losing, but just pointing out that we were behind a lot more than we were ahead. thats not to say that Mett ALWAYS played against a prevent D ... but it likely happened more than just the final 2 min of the 4th Q like you seem to suggest

    no it doesn't bother me cuz, as we all complained about last season, we got a freaking false start or holding like every other play.

    also a major criticism against mett was he held the ball too long, always looked to make a big play instead of taking what was there.. But now its opposite? He was a checkdown artist?

    I just go where the facts lead me man ... I don't put any opinion into it. I never called him a check down artist or said he holds the ball too long.

    All I said was from the stats, it appears that he benefits from being in +10 yard situations. It could be allowing him to pick up more yardage than he would under normal circumstances. As you can see his comp % goes down when he gets into more natural situations.

    I'd say that's probably a trend for most qbs...especially rookies

    It is a trend for most Rookie QBs ... but Mett benefited from this trend more than than the others by quite a bit.

    Again, here is Mett for Reference:

    Teddy B

    upload_2015-9-2_14-51-29.png


    Mett got ~80% of his yards in +10 situations ... Teddy only had ~60% of his yards in 10+ situations



    Bortles

    upload_2015-9-2_14-53-5.png


    Bortles got about 69% of his yards form 10+ situations


    Carr

    upload_2015-9-2_14-54-13.png

    Carr got about 55% of his yards from 10+ situations



    This shows 2 things ... #1 it is easier for QBs (at least rookies) to complete passes in the +10 yards to go situations (as evidenced the increase in comp% for each QB)

    #2 Mett had a much higher percentage of his statistics occur in this easier situation


    This is alarming to me

    and yes ... I would consider picking up 9 yards on 3rd and 12 "garbage yards".

    This stat is pointing to a high percent of Metts yards being garbage yards
