These are Prescott's 452 aimed attempts, broken down by direction and target depth. "Aimed attempts" means this excludes passes when there was no discernible target. The 38 incomplete attempts that aren't included here consist of 19 throwaways, 9 hit as thrown, 8 batted passes, and 2 spikes. (Those attempts are included in the two passer ratings listed in the headings in bold.) The last number of each line is always the passer rating, which does not include those 38 incomplete passes, so they are higher than the one in bold.

After the target depth is the percentage of total attempts at that depth. For example, in the 12-game sample, 62% of his targets were less than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, and his passer rating was 103.4 on those targets. Below that, the first number of each line (before L, M, or R) is the percentage of his attempts that went to that specific area of the field. 16% of his targets were outside the numbers to the left.

Even though all 5 OL starters did not play in the last game in Philly, I counted that game as if they did, because the Eagles were resting their starters.

Compiled from PFF's directional data.
 
I heard PFF is not a reputable source since most of their people are not "experts"
 
This is why I would have no problem with them drafting an olinemen in the first round.

Every one is talking about how much resources are spent on the offensive line. Does it really matter, it is obvious that they need better play out of that unit than they had last season.
 
That is eye-opening. Thanks for the post. I wouldn't be against a T drafted in round 1 or 2. I love Tyron, but his back is a HUGE concern. Luckily with 10 draft picks overall, at least one will be a T I'm sure.
 
So, let’s play all next year with the OL starters then.

Looks like we did reign in the intermediate throws when we were playing next man up a bit, at least. Crazy we weren’t even effective with the short stuff. Especially throwing left. What a **** sandwich.
 
PFF is a hit or miss source. It's great when they validate your opinion and they suck if they don't. :muttley:

The bolded part is telling enough and there is no subjectivity at all.

We need a better LG. We need to find a way to keep Tyron on the field or have a better back up plan.

Add some young legs to WR and TE groups and this offense is ready for a rebound season.

They get in the weeds on some of their grading players which is very hard to do since you don’t know their responsibilities on a given play many times
Compiling non subjective data like this they seem good at
Not very subjective when you talk distance and complete or not
Though sometimes incomplete is a drop, sometimes a bad pass, sometimes a throw away
 
So based on this data and other data that Percy has previously posted.

Dak is as good as just about anybody in the league when well protected.

But he struggles more than most when facing inordinate amounts of pressure.

So if Dak can improve his ability to play well under pressure. He will be fine. And if he can’t, it’s a problem for him and us.

As others have said -- and as I always say -- ignore their player ratings (the pluses, minuses, reds, and greens).

No player ratings here though.
 
So to reiterate....unless Dakk has 5 1st round talents healthy and on the O-line he's terrible?

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside...only the exact opposite.


That’s not re-iterating that’s giving your own interpretation of the numbers. Which is fine. But don’t mislabel it as re-iteration.
