This alone should tell you a lot about stats

I don’t know how these numbers are calculated.

Must be a messed up process considering how often Dak throws horrible passes behind his receivers though. It must be much more than other QB’s in the NFL.

Stats are like bikinis. They show a lot, but what they hide is vital.

Dak's completion percentage is actually 69.6 percent right now. Still quite good, but I'm not sure what type of passes have him over 76 percent.

But we use them when their bad. It goes both ways. People talk about analytic, QBR...ETC

The Patriots, Chiefs, Packers and Saints must be jealous.

What exactly are they measuring in these stats? Are they determining accuracy by a radius of the target WR?

Maybe it's "accuracy" and not completion percentage.

There's so much "next-gen" stats going around these days I think they're over-complicating the game. Any QB accuarcy list that has Marcus Mariota fourth deserves second guessing in my opinion.

Oh it's definitely accuracy, not completion percentage. I'm just wondering how they determine accuracy when they don't necessarily know where the receiver is supposed to be.

Maybe they just go back and see how many times the QB made an accurate throw but the receiver tipped it or dropped it. That would tell us a lot, but like you said, they have no idea if the receiver botched his route.

Dak #1

Analytics nerds lose again

Just looking at the stats. You would think the Cowboys-GB game would have been very competitive with Dallas getting the win.

It was not competitive. And Dallas lost badly.

I have no idea. Just thought they were interesting.

I believe he said the stats are depth adjusted. Seems more like Fantasy football stats.

These stats attempt to determine the accuracy of certain throws so far this season. They are not determining which players are better than the other. A quarterback can throw two yard dump off passes all game and go 100 percent passing.

I don't think anybody is trying to suggest Dak is better than Brady based on these stats. However, they are useful in proving Dak isn't as inaccurate as his detractors believe.
