Assorted offensive stats for the bye

[LandryFan]

Okay, cool, but what popular song would you sing these lyric's to?

Probably have to be country.

Fits perfectly with a slowed down version of "Doug's Tune" (Google "Doug's Tune Andy Griffith" to hear the song...performed by the Dillards).

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yeah Dak is top 5 in YPA but he "doesn't go deep" LOL

He's passed through the air 20 yards or farther 12 times and completed 4. it helps when your screens go for 15 yards consistently. RAC has been outstanding this season.

 

[Phoenix]

Rushing Yards
1 Elliott 703
2 McCoy 587
3 Johnson 568
4 Murray 526
5 Miller 520

Good stuff.

Elliott has also rushed for more yards by himself than all but a handful of entire teams....The Patriots are the lowest rushing total team to run for more yards than Zeke...

[JD_KaPow]

Very very key stat. We seem to lose every time Bailey kicks more than 3 FG's.

We're 4-5 when Bailey attempts 4 or more FGs (4-3 when he makes them all).

By the way, we never lost a game when Buehler attempted 4 or more FGs.

 

[percyhoward]

He's passed through the air 20 yards or farther 12 times and completed 4. it helps when your screens go for 15 yards consistently. RAC has been outstanding this season.

Actually, 5 of the top 10 rated passers get more of their yards from RAC than Prescott does. We're about in the middle of the league as far as where our average catch is made in relation to the LOS.

RAC Yardage
(as a percentage of total yards)
Rthlsbrgr 41.5%
Carr 44.3%
Bradford 44.9%
Brees 45.0%
Prescott 45.4%
Hoyer 48.0%
Rivers 48.5%
Ryan 49.8%
Wentz 51.1%
Stafford 55.8%

You are comparing aggregate and efficiency stats. Specifically, they may have more RAC but Dak is 17th in the league in total completions. Most of those guys have 20 or more completions over Dak.

I agree that Dak is not Checkdown Charlie. He still doesn't throw it past 20 yards often nor complete a high percentage of them.

EDIT: nvm

Again, that's RAC as a percentage of total passing yards. IOW, those guys don't just have more RAC than Prescott, but a greater percentage of their yards come from RAC than his.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'm not sure how him being 5th in RAC% detracts from my point that RAC has been great this year.

You'd made a connection between Dak's high yards per attempt and RAC, where there really is none.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He is top 5 in RAC%. And the other top 5 RAC% are not top 5 YPA.

Look at the Vikings on that list.... 2.5ypc?

Ridiculous. Not bring able to run the football will definitely hurt them once GB or Detroit start nipping at their heels.

 

[percyhoward]

He is top 5 in RAC%.

What do you mean by RAC%?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

What do you mean by RAC%?

RAC% of total yards. The stat you listed that we've been discussing. The one in which the YPA leader is 9th and the other YPA top 5 are worse. The one you are using to refute my argument that RAC is helping drive Daks YPA.

Okay. You're forgetting that YPA includes all attempts, not just completed passes.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Sorry to go off topic, but here's the funniest non-Cowboys stat I found on Sports Illustrated (courtesy of Peter King):

Dating through last season, the Browns are 1-16 in their last seventeen games. The lone winning quarterback for them in this stretch: Johnny Manziel.

 

[Idgit]

Curious lack of a certain name. Only see it wonce.

That'll make a couple posters around here Wince.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Okay. You're forgetting that YPA includes all attempts, not just completed passes.

RAC% lends directly to the numerator of YPA. It's not like data is being left out.

The contribution Dak is getting to his passing yards from yards after the catch is more than the other leaders in YPA.

 

[percyhoward]

The contribution Dak is getting to his passing yards is more than the other leaders in YPA.

No it isn't. Here are the leaders in YPA. Five of them depend on after-catch yards more than Dak. Four of them depend less. And there's more separation between Dak and Rivers than between Dak and the leader Dalton.

Yards After Catch per attempt
Dalton 3.45
Brees 3.46
Wilson 3.48
Bradford 3.55
Prescott 3.70
Rivers 3.97
Manning 4.10
Tannehill 4.14
Stafford 4.33
Ryan 4.92

Prescott's 8.2 yards per attempt (3rd in the league) isn't driven by RAC -- it's driven by the accuracy of his intermediate throws.

Completion rate of above players
(targets of 11-20 yards)
Prescott 69.2%
Bradford 68.2%
Manning 61.5%
Rivers 59.0%
Dalton 57.6%
Ryan 54.3%
Stafford 53.3%
Tannehill 50.0%
Brees 44.1%
Wilson 48.5%

[StylisticS]

I'm still trying to digest this......

The top rated passer this season FOR ROAD GAMES is a rookie 4th round draft pick?

And he is ours?

Whatever you all do, if I am dreaming, DO NOT PINCH ME!

That stood out to me the most as well.
