  • Passer Ratings
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 9 (1986) BUCKING THE SYSTEM OR, WHY THE NFL CAN'T FIND HAPPINESS WITH ITS PASSER RATINGS By Bob Carroll If you believe in your heart of hearts that Warren Moon is a better passer than Otto Graham, you're at one with the National Football League. Never mind that Graham is a card-carrying member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a quarterback who led the Cleveland Browns to seven league championships in ten seasons, while Moon is the oft-booed signal-caller for one of the NFL's least successful franchises. According to the National Football League's Passer Rating System, Moon tossed for a 68.5 mark last season; Graham, in 1950 – a year his Cleveland Browns won the NFL Championship, could manage only a paltry 64.7. That makes it official; Warren is 3.8 better than "Automatic Otto." Has George Orwell become an NFL flack? Is this reality or newspeak? More! In the gospel according to the NFL, Dan Marino is the best passer ever. Until this year, Joe Montana was. A couple of other top ten performers: Danny White, the guy who made Dallas forget Roger Staubach, and Neil Lomax, whose success in St. Louis has made him a legend. And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Well, it all depends, you say. Actually, it DOESN'T rain (or snow) inside the Hoosier Dome during any part of the calendar year, and Marino, Montana, White, and Lomax ARE good – maybe great – passers. But, are they THAT good? The much-maligned NFL Way of Rating Passers places some present throwers at the top of the Hurler Heap and consigns such clutzes as Sid Luckman, Johnny Unitas, Y.A.

  • Passing on Success? Productivity Outcomes for Quarterbacks Chosen in the 1999-2004 National Football League Player Entry Drafts
    IASE/NAASE Working Paper Series, Paper No. 07-11 Passing on Success? Productivity Outcomes for Quarterbacks Chosen in the 1999-2004 National Football League Player Entry Drafts Kevin G. Quinn†, Melissa Geier††, and Anne Berkovitz††† June 2007 Abstract Seventy quarterbacks were selected during six NFL drafts held 1999-2004. This paper analyzes information available prior to the draft (college, college passing statistics, NFL Combine data) and draft outcomes (overall number picked and signing bonus). Also analyzed for these players are measures of NFL playing opportunity (games played, games started, pass attempts) and measures of productivity (Pro Bowls made, passer rating, DVOA, and DPAR) for up to the first seven years of each drafted player’s NFL career. We find that more highly-drafted QBs get significantly more opportunity to play in the NFL. However, we find no evidence that more highly-drafted QBs become more productive passers than lower-drafted QBs that see substantial playing time. Furthermore, QBs with more pass attempts in their final year of more highly-ranked college programs exhibit lower NFL passing productivity. JEL Classification Codes: L83, J23, J42 Keywords: Sports, NFL, Draft, Quarterback, Productivity This paper was presented at the 2007 IASE Conference in Dayton, OH in May 2007. †St. Norbert College, Department of Economics, 100 Grant Street, De Pere, WI 54115, USA, [email protected], phone: 920-403-3447, fax: 920-403-4098 ††St. Norbert College, Department of Economics, 100 Grant Street, De Pere, WI 54115 †††St. Norbert College, Department of Economics, 100 Grant Street, De Pere, WI 54115 I.

  • Broncos Combine Notes: Billy Turner Remains on Radar, but Not Antonio Brown by Mike Klis 9NEWS Feb
    Broncos combine notes: Billy Turner remains on radar, but not Antonio Brown By Mike Klis 9NEWS Feb. 26, 2019 As the Broncos contingent led by John Elway convene on Indianapolis this week for the NFL Combine, there will be two orders of business. One, is getting a feel for free agency. Two is scouting and interviewing up to 60 rookie prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft. Elway beat just about all Broncos to Indianapolis as he began NFL competition meetings on Monday. Adding some form of replay to subjective judgment calls like the pass interference missed in the NFC Championship Game was discussed Monday, although it was characterized as a scratch-the-surface informational meeting. Here are some topics of interest for Broncos fans this week: Antonio Brown The Broncos aren’t interested in the Steelers’ controversial receiver. Among the non-starters is Brown wants to renegotiate his current contract that pays him $15.125 million in 2019; $11.3 million in 2020 and $12.5 million in 2021. To pay that kind of money, AND give up a high-round draft pick – AND have to pay even more to keep Brown happy? It doesn’t make sense. The Broncos need another veteran receiver to add to their group that includes Emmanuel Sanders coming off an Achilles injury, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick. But it won’t be Antonio Brown. John Brown would make more sense. He developed a strong receiver-quarterback relationship with Joe Flacco in Baltimore last season. From what I've been told, the Broncos are not scared off by John Brown’s sickle cell trait, and a source close to Brown says the receiver is not afraid of Denver’s mile-high altitude as a possible home -- provided the team expresses interest.

  • Get Downfield Before the Ball Lands, Pos- Mation Would Be Required to Properly Appropriate Sibly Reducing Return Opportunities, Thus Increasing Blame for These Mishaps
    Journal of Sports Analytics 4 (2018) 201–213 201 DOI 10.3233/JSA-180164 IOS Press A flight-based metric for evaluating NFL punters R. Drew Pasteur∗, Emily Howerton, Preston Pozderac, Stuart Young and Jonathan Moore Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, College of Wooster, Wooster, OH, USA Abstract. Common evaluation metrics for NFL punters are outdated, failing to account for field position and touchbacks. Using detailed information on each punt of the 2013 season, a nonlinear model is developed, using these factors alongside hang time, coverage quality, and environmental conditions. This leads to punter evaluation metrics using expected points added (EPA), both in total and per punt. The persistence of punting skill is explored, and the relationships between performance and salary are discussed. Keywords: Punting, player evaluation, expected points, NFL, American football 1.

  • Brady and Brees Approach All-Time Passing Milestones As Nfl Enters Week 5
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/2/18 http://twitter.com/nfl345 BRADY AND BREES APPROACH ALL-TIME PASSING MILESTONES AS NFL ENTERS WEEK 5 The NFL heads into the second quarter of the regular season after an exciting Week 4 which saw seven games decided by three points or fewer, including three games in overtime. At least one game has gone to overtime in each of the first four weeks of the 2018 season, joining the 1979, 1983 and 2002 seasons as the only campaigns to feature at least one overtime game in each of its first four weeks since the regular-season overtime rule was adopted in 1974. Five teams – DALLAS, HOUSTON, OAKLAND, SEATTLE and TENNESSEE – scored game-winning points on the final play of their respective contests last week. Additionally, CINCINNATI scored a go-ahead touchdown with seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Bengals a 37-36 win over Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium last week. This is the first time since Week 3 of the 2012 season (six) that at least six games had the game-winning points scored in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. Close games and high-powered offenses have highlighted a thrilling first four weeks. Week 5 promises more of the same. Two of the NFL’s all-time greats at the quarterback position – New England’s TOM BRADY and New Orleans’ DREW BREES – enter Week 5 with their eyes on history. With 201 passing yards on Monday night against Washington (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), Brees (71,740 passing yards) can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (71,838) and PEYTON MANNING (71,940) to become the NFL’s all-time leading passer.

The NFL is just getting started on its 2020 script. The Week 3 screenplay could be just as thrilling. SUPERSTARS DOING SUPERSTAR THINGS: MVP candidates are aplenty through two weeks. Several of those candidates will be on opposite sidelines this week. Seattle and quarterback RUSSELL WILSON, who leads the NFL in passer rating (140.0), touchdown passes (nine) and completion percentage (82.5), host the DALLAS COWBOYS (4:25 PM ET Sunday, FOX), who last week became just the third team in the last 15 regular seasons to win after overcoming a two-score deficit in the final two minutes of regulation. Cowboys quarterback DAK PRESCOTT passed for 450 yards and one touchdown while rushing for three touchdowns last week, becoming the first player with at least 400 passing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a single game in NFL history. Reigning NFL MVP LAMAR JACKSON and his Ravens host reigning Super Bowl MVP PATRICK MAHOMES and the Chiefs on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN). Mahomes (81 touchdown passes in 33 games) averages 2.45 touchdown passes per game, the highest mark in NFL history (minimum 30 games), ahead of the two next-closest players, PEYTON MANNING (2.03) and AARON RODGERS (2.02). Jackson, meanwhile, reached 2,000 career rushing yards in helping his team to a 2-0 start last week.

With the availability of player tracking data, there exists the capability to assess various options that are available to quarterbacks and the expected points resulting from each option. The quarterback’s execution is then measured against the optimal available option. Since decision making does not rely on the quality of teammates, a quarterback metric is introduced that provides a novel perspective on an understudied aspect of quarterback assessment.
