ATLFalcon36 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 BY THE NUMBERS: Matt Ryan, Michael Turner and Roddy White have accomplished what no other trio in NFL history has with 3-straight seasons of 3,000 yards passing, 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving, respectively. What do you think they will accomplish in 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 FYI Turner didn't have 3 straight 1,000 yard seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanless Falcons Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 neither did matt ryan have 3k for three years. Close really close, but not quite 3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkflight Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd trade those stats for some playoff wins in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I wonder if they included the playoffs to get those stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkflight Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You think you get to the playoffs not having those stats?If we're the first that means a lot of other teams have had success in the playoffs without a trio obtaining those stats.

Ryanless Falcons Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If we're the first that means a lot of other teams have had success in the playoffs without a trio obtaining those stats.It is talking about a three year period, so no. Just because you had one good season and made the playoffs means nothing. If you think that is an accomplishment go ask the Cards how it feels to be relevant for one year and the laughing stock for the last 3 and running.

Tandy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I wonder if they included the playoffs to get those stats?No, the numbers are right for 2008, 2010 and 2011. It's 2009 where they were below that - and we didn't go to the playoffs that year. As for passing - the numbers you see for his passing are net yards - with the sacks included. If you take his actual passing yards, in 2009 he had 3008 - in 13 games. Maybe that is what they are going by. I'm still trying to figure out how they came up with Turners numbers though. He only played in 11 games - and only played in 8 full games. Still, he had 871 yards. Where did they get 1000?The only thing I can think of is the team stats. If you look at what the team did over the past 4 years - there is over 3000 yards passing, 1000 yards receiving (by one receiver) and rushing - definitely over 1000.Anyway, it's confusing - unless they mean 3 years out of 4?

delaigle Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) that's impossible ---ie 2009 Ryan threw for 2916 yards so no way he got 3000 for 3 years in a row it's impossible --to date.such as 2008,2009, 20100r 2009,2010, 2011 Edited March 21, 2012 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This stat was just completely bogus. Somebody with the Falcons blew it on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that is an accomplishment go ask the Cards how it feels to be relevant for one year and the laughing stock for the last 3 and running.Again if I had a choice I'd take a deep playoff run over those stats. Just me I guess. We could have the first trio to have those stats for 10 years in a row and it wouldn't impress me if we were getting pounded in the first round every year.

Peyton Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 So, this stat isn't true at all, and I've already found 2 other trios that did it for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 He threw for 3008 yards.

Billy Pilgrim Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 LMAO who is doing this research?Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, and Marvin Harrison did this like 4 or 5 years in a row, as did Aikman, Smith, and Irvin.Can I have this guy's job please? I swear I'll post the correct information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did a sack anywhere get misconstrued as a negative passing yard. can see negative rushing yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to determine how they came up with the numbers.The fact of the matter is - his gross passing yards in 2009 were 3008 and after sack yardage is subtracted - his net yardage is 2916.They don't remove those yards from the receivers. If you add up the receiving yards from Ryan to all receivers in 2009 - it comes to 3008. However, dropped passes and void plays do not count in those receiving yards.

Sounds morte like negative rushing yards to meif a QB tries a sneak and gets dropped behind the line that a rush loss but if he just stands still until swomeone tackles him it is negative passing yardsOk suspose he had 2998 and threw one of those outs to snelling for a 5 yard loss would you add those 5 back in?those are neg yards jusr like a sack/ why not add them back.

Sounds morte like negative rushing yards to meif a QB tries a sneak and gets dropped behind the line that a rush loss but if he just stands still until swomeone tackles him it is negative passing yardsIf a QB tries a sneak and gets dropped behind the line - that is a pass loss as well. Sacks are sacks and sack yards are subtracted from the passing yards, regardless of whether the QB was passing or not. That is the way it is done. Period. They take the Quarterbacks gross passing yards from the game and subtract the sack yards. Hold calls are negated plays - they never happened so could not be considered a completion. Dropped passes are never caught and therefore can not be considered a completion. However, all the completions together = gross passing yards. Take that number and subtract the sack yards and voila - you have the net passing yards posted on NFL.COM.I was trying to figure out where they came up with 3000 per year - and it's the only answer I could find for it. However, it still didn't explain Turner's yards, and the fact is - the stats are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaroman58 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Just think what the stats would be if Roddy hadn't dropped so many passes!!!! Edited March 21, 2012 by Camaroman58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
