So since we agreed to delete the 2 bad games, let's talk about the other 33 games where he's 4th highest in TOs and has an extremely low TD/TO ratio of 1.29. What's your analysis on that?
You mean you're combining the year he had the bad OL with no running game, and 2020, which are completely different issues? You know I swear every time I remind people what was going on with the OL in 2019 they swear they account for it. In fact that's the new way of ignoring it--to swear it's being accounted for. While making jokes about not accounting for it.
2019 was a different situation. And yes we can have that argument again if you want, it will remain true regardless. But 2020 is better than 2019...guess why.
Now to 2020. Okay we eliminated the 2 games in 2020. Counting the playoffs too, in 2020 that gives us a qb with 10 turnovers and 25 TDs.
On a team that is 19th in redzone TD scoring percentage and yet also one that has a qb with a 107.2 qb ranking inside the opponent's 20. (I hope I don't need to explain the contrast there).
I said from the start. People who try to make all this too simple, categorical, and cut and dried will always come up short in these discussions. They will leave holes and gaps where the big abstractions they're trying to stand behind don't hold up. They don't notice actual play trends and seem for some reason to never have balanced takes.
So, 2020. You have a qb who in 15 games, excluding the 2 big disasters (which I argue were a crisis that came and went), is 2.5 to 1 in TD to TO ratio on a team that can't score in the redzone--even though
he can.
BTW thanks for including Ryan and Rivers. Their OLs fell apart in 2019 too and it had a direct effect on their numbers too, as you would normally expect it would.
