Thank goodness I think the mentality of many here would have kept Browning Nagle as a starter on the Jets after 92. Yeah he stunk, but we have to see what he has. Hand him the starters job without legitimate competition. It's amazing how much credibility a 52% completion percentage and a historically terrible season can buy a QB.
Just adding to my earlier post regarding rushing attempts. These are Washingtons stats with both QB's: Total games with CP: 9 Runs: 39 Runs per game: 4.3 Average per carry: 5.0 Total games with KC: 7 Runs: 32 Runs per game: 4.5 Average per carry: 5.0 Jones had no carries in the Baltimore game but he did have a punt return. I don't remember if he played the whole game or not. Did not factor that game in his average per carry, but did include it in his runs per game. Similar to Jones though, his average per carry was the same with Clemens as it was with Pennington. His per carry average was also slightly higher with Clemens which again points to the CS deciding to to run the ball more. Bottom line is that Clemens did no more for the running game then Pennington did other then apparently influencing the CS to run more.
-------------------EDIT Jets81, I think you messed up the numbers for Washington... I did this exact comparison a couple weeks ago, and I remember distinctly that Washington's YPC was much higher with Clemens at QB than with Chad.... I'll see if I can dig up my post.... EDIT: Found it.... Maybe your numbers were thrown off since Clemens technically STARTED the NE game? Did you accidentally count that as a Clemens game? I'm not sure.... But you're a half yard off on Washington's YPC, for both QBs http://forums.theganggreen.com/showpost.php?p=737847&postcount=50
I did not go by starts, I went by who took the majority of the snaps. For the average per carry, I added each players average per carry in games played by either QB and divided that number by 9 for the Pennington games, and 6 for Clemens games since Washington had no carries in the Baltimore game. I had 9 for Chad and 7 for Clemens, since Pennington played pretty much the entire NE game. For Clemens the per carry was 4.9 rounded up, while with Chad is was 5.0 something rounded down. I'll run them again and see if I come up with the same as you did.
You should have divided the total number of yards by the total number of carries, disregarding the number of games or the YPC for the individual games.... That must be where you went wrong.... You calulated the Yards Per Carry Per Game.... Leon had 32 carries for 177 yards in games where Clemens got the majority of the snaps... That's 5.53 YPC... He had 39 carries for 176 yards in games where Chad got the majority of the snaps... That's 4.51 YPC...
Correct. I did it the quick and dirty way. :grin: Still, the running plays on average increased while Clemens was the starter by a full 5 a game. It proves that the CS decided to start running the ball a bit more once Clemens took over, and I question why they didn't do it sooner then later. I view Jones stats as a better assessment then Washingtons because he's the every down back. Washington will break some longs one's no matter who the QB is, as evidenced by his 14.3 ypc in the NE game alone.
In the combine they do swing, seam, post, deep post, out, deep out, slant, and go. I don't think they run the fade.
I don't know if you were trying to make a joke with this post, but: That's pretty much a basic WR passing tree (albeit numbered slightly differently from any tree I've ever worked with), give or take a few routes... Picture that, from every position a WR may line up... That's what people mean when they say make "all the throws" Chad struggles immensely with the pictured 1, 3, 5, and 7 routes (the sideline throws)... He is very much hit or miss on the 8 and 9 routes (often opting not to attempt them unless they're wide open) This tree is missing a deep DIG route, which is another one Chad is hit or miss on.... Even though that simple tree probably made the point, here's a much more intricate one to hit the point home:
