"Late & close" has been around for years, always defined as 4th qtr or OT of a one-score game. Cherry-picking would mean only including certain attempts from that game situation, and ignoring others. I used Pro Football Reference's data, which includes every attempt from that game situation over the last three seasons. Nothing's left out.
Except for that last word there, your description doesn't characterize what's actually happened. Of the 32 QB with the most attempts in these situations, Prescott ranks 6th in YPA, and 5th in TD passes, and 2nd in total TD.
I only have one person on "ignore", but it's not because of their posts on the board, it was because they were excessively trolling the game day chat. It was just excessive, over the top and ruining the room, like it's a TD and it literally hit him between the numbers, give it a break already. Most of us get a little overly critical during the game, but take a breath and quit trying to make people around you as miserable as you are. It was during the Jags game, of all games, that I put him on ignore. Cmon Man!
It’s exactly what happened. Late and close is utter BS and is almost as laughable as the idea that Dak is clutch. Dak is anti-clutch.
His 85.2 passer rating ranks 21st in late & close situations, more than 7 points lower than his career rating. Dak's is 14 points higher than his own career rating.
I wouldn't consider those deep passes Dak missed "conservative" plays. I'm glad he's willing to take shots, even if it might mean more ints, but I really hope practice makes closer to perfect.
Show me a video of somebody else doing this. Don't bother searching Aaron Rodgers or Carson Wentz. They've never done it. I guess they aren't clutch either
What? Aaron Rodgers has actually done it to US. Were you born yesterday?
"Aaron Rodgers: 0-35 when trailing by more than 1 point in 4th quarter against teams with a winning record"
