Sun Tzu 7 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 3 hours ago, Mr.11 said: Ryan actually scored more TDs in the 2018 regular season (39) than he did in 2016 (38), with the same number of INTs (7) and a YPA of 8.0, while averaging 5 more pass attempts per game (39 in 2018 to 34 in 2016) and a lackluster run game. If 2018 is a more realistic goal, you may as well say Ryan's floor is elite, but y'all not ready for that. You need to go back and watch those 2016 games again. He was playing on another level. He was moving around the pocket and making plays with his legs when he needed to. Yes he had a couple of bad games in 2016 (Chiefs, Chargers, Eagles) but overall he was amazing. Ryan was good in 2018 but he didn’t break any records. ATLskinjob and Ergo Proxy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan was good in 2018 but he didn’t break any records. Volume stats are a function of the entire team. His grade by PFF was 2nd in the NFL for 2017 despite the volume stats drop. Ryan was slick both those years under Sark. Remember the number of drops that turned into INTs? Butt INT. Enough said. We just had an in over his head 1st time NFL playcaller trying to mimic the genius. He couldn't set up his shot plays and we played a close to the vest style; stalling the RZ down the stretch when Levitre went down. "he didn't break records" Is that like the standard? 2018 our run game was invisible and we played behind often before the defense got on track half-way through the season. That was the first year our OL fell apart here recently; Levitre IR again/Schraeder became garbage, etc and Free was on IR. Still, the pass game produced but you can hardly be top-end in efficiency being one dimensional. The inverse was true in 2016. 2016 was a special offense for ANY team in HISTORY. Consistent production is a function of a more stable/consistently ahead of the curve top to bottom setup. Relying on freelance only goes so far. The 2 times we have rushed for at least league average in yards since 2013? Playoffs both years. Mr.11, Vandy and kiwifalcon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Check this out...2017 case in point. Ryan lost by far the most EPA due to his receiver dropping the ball compared to all other QBs...so, would have led the league in EPA for a 2nd straight year. Click on it to expand: That is part of why your scoring in 2017 was off. You couldn't keep defenses on their heels and part of the reason is you lost some critical steam from crucial drops. Couple that with struggles calling RZ as a first time NFL playcaller in Sark? Granted, you can't erase them all and I'm not saying it WAS that way, but the data shows it hurt our team more than any other. The EPA would've been close to 2016's season...in 2017...when everyone only tries to compare 2018 to 2016 because of the sheer volume stats without the processes in between succeeding or failing. Why we changed to Dirk I'll never know. Kubiak was the only reason to let Sark go if Dirk was the "Plan B"....more like plan panic.
