    This is the post I started on:

    Not only did you write career but you wrote MM8 at 25 passes per game and Luck at 40 passes per game.

    That is not accurate last year or over the entirety of their career.

    If you want TEAM passes per game, you need to account that over Mariotas career he has also has Mettenberger, Locker, and Cassel throw passes.
    Same for Luck since he hasn't played 16 games since year 3.

    I'll ask again, do you think the game plan changes with a different QB at the helm? That will then change your passes per game when using the TEAM stat.

    As shown, career:
    Mariota 31.5 to Luck 37.8
    Last year:
    Mariota 30.6 to Luck 36.3.

    So either way, Luck throws about 6 passes per game more than Mariota.

    Luck played a full 2014 season, where Colts ranked as the 1st passing attemps in the league pegged at 661 times attemps in the air. Thats a 41.1 per game.

    Mariota will never ever have those passing attempt in our offense. You can twist all your math you want too. But thats suggesting that Luck throws the ball more in the air than twice as much as MM8 does.

    Titans threw the ball 504 in 2016, 28th in the league tied with teams like,Niners, Cowboys, Bills, Dolphins. Sorry but your math to me makes no sense.

    In 2014, Luck threw 616 ATT in 15 games
    Mariota played at Oregon in 2014.

    Now that I've already proved you incorrect on Career and the 2016 att per game, you are randomly selecting the 2014 season.

    So I'll ask, who is "twisting the math"?

    Obviously what I've pointed out STILL isn't enough.

    Luck per year:
    2012 - 627/16 = 39.2
    2013 - 570/16 = 35.6
    2014 - 616/16 = 38.5
    2015 - 293/7 = 41.8
    2016 - 545/15 = 36.3

    career = 37.8

    Mariota per year:
    2015 - 370/12 = 30.8 (includes his injury game against NE where he threw 6 passes)
    2016 - 451/15 = 30.1
    2017 - 68/2 = 34

    career = 30.6 (even with the 6 att game)

    STILL only 7 passes per game more. STILL not 40 - 25.

    As I quoted your post a second time, STILL no one was talking about TEAM passes. You said Mariota throws 25 per game and Luck throws 40. YOURE STILL WRONG.

    At no point was this EVER about where either TEAM ranked among the rest of the league.

    I just did the math. 504 passes over 16 games (2 of which has Cassel throwing) still equals 31.5 per game, which is actually an increase from Mariota's 30.1.

    Luck won't help them much if any, when you get down to it Luck is a 5 to 7 % better version of Jake Locker that has gotten into the head of NFL DCs because a lot of teams had their offenses fall apart and made a few crucial mistakes on D early on. He's given far to much credit as a QB.

    Team passes? You do know a QB passes the ball right? Luck aired the ball out 661 times in 2014, averaging 41.1 attempt per game. The 616 attmp are probably the passes that were completed and not uncompletion.

    Also, how could the pass attemps from MM8 be as close as to Lucks. Mariota plays for a team that is a run first offense more than they passed (without looking it up).

    Luck has played in an offense that relays heavy on the pass. There's no WAY Luck has had only 6 more attempts than Mariota. A better way of looking it up would be each game they play.

    Thats abiut as true as saying Brees averages 6 more attemps than Cam Newton. When Cam newton teams has never been in the top 10 in passing attempts

    No one could complete 616 of 661 over the course of a season, no one would ever stop that offense if they did.
