QB garbage time passing yardage 2025

Yeah I need to know how this is calculated. Goff for example must include some time building a bigger lead in blow outs, if you want to call making a 21-3 lead into a 38-3 lead "garbage time" then thats your right. Or maybe abandoning the run in a game you are down 28-0 so you just lose 35-14 I guess you can call that "garbage time" (cough cough Mahomes in the SB).
The word "garbage" makes this all seem like a useless and negative thing.

Well it's surprising to see that other quarterbacks are awarded "garbage time yards" because the only quarterback I've ever read about having garbage time yards was Dak.

I thought it was just a stat that was designated for him only. When did the garbage time yards stat start counting?

I'm sure garbage time yards stats had to have started decades ago.

Yeah,

that's the problem around here,

everybody thinks it's our quarterbacks and that we're the only quarterbacks that either playing from behind or way ahead that build their stats over 17 games... That's all that matters every quarterback's gonna be in this situation throughout the year that way you just look at their total stats and just understand that they were all built in a similar fashion and that stop picking on Prescott or Romo or the Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks like this doesn't happen around the league...

I mean you could take this further it happens to all teams but all those blowouts that happen where you're way ahead and you do have some stats that you can build but you also are building up a bunch of points and it makes your offense even if it's in the top five at the end of the year most of those points for all teams were built against worst teams most of the record most of the games they won were against the weaker teams they're splitting the rest of them or have a losing record against playoff teams even in the regular season and in the playoffs this happens to all teams and all quarterbacks...​
​
Do you wanna take it further on defense it's built the same way 17 games that's why you look at just the whole picture instead of nitpicking game to game and then when you wanna pick on a narrative someone on your team like say Parsons he gets all his sacks against the weak teams that might be true he gets most of his stats against the weaker alliance or quarterbacks to hold on to the ball but some of the other pass rushers in the league that is how they all build their total stat lines most of which are gonna come when you feed on weaker opponents...​
​
Say yes when you wanna create a false narrative to fit some kind of debate you wanna win some kind of argument you always pull this out for that specific player or coach or group and just say it was stat padding that it was done in garbage time and it doesn't count let's count because all teams have it count for them that means it counts for your player and your team...​

Look at the Super bowl, I bet the Kansas City Chiefs especially Patrick mahomes and Xavier worthy were real proud of themselves getting all those yards and putting up those points when the game was already over..

they were in the midst of being blown out but made the game look respectable because of garbage it just happens but nobody's going to point that out 10 years from now they're just going to look at the stats and go the eagles beat them soundly but hey at least the chiefs put up points they had some yardage they had 180 yard receiver..ooohhh lmao

It's a subjective stat, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Not a surprising list. We see a bunch of rookies and young QBs that need PT.. Thats half the top 10. Goff is no surprise since his coach likes to embarrass and humiliate opponents. Dak is certainly no surprise. During game threads when Dallas is behind 3 TDs in the second half, we call it "Dak time".
 
"Keep in mind the Cowboys starting QB missed 9 games last year."

Keep in mind this is a made up stat to hate on a certain QB. Remember all the made / created stats that bagged on Romo.

It is just used to bad on Dak. For in here anyway.

It is all a mythical stat anyway.
 
Analogy is:

So, if a team goes up 6-0 the first drive from a 75 TD run by the RB. And never gives up that lead for rest of the game.

The QB then throws for 400 yards the rest of the game.
Those are all garbage stats.

Incorrect. If you go up 6 to nothing on the first drive your team does not have a 95% win probability. Same as being down early you dont have a 95% loss probability. Try reading the post before your usual fan police act.

A one possession game would not be anywhere close to a 95% win probability unless its extremely late in the game. In a scenario like that 50-100 of the 400 passing yards may end up in garbage time under this stat, but not anywhere close to all 400.

You can be up by two scores going into the 4th quarter and not be at a 95% win probability yet.

I did read it. Try not to hate on a player so much, you are blinded by the truth.
Before you fan police. What is fan policing by what I posted? NOTHING.

Throw out those stupid stats. They are just made up garbage.
Fans just want to use them to hate on one player.

Its at the end of the game when the game is pretty much decided and defenses play loosers etc. Or at least that's what I understand

Or in Dak's case - he goes 6 straight 3 and outs to start a game. In the meantime the defense gets worn down by half and is getting their butts kicked and Dallas trails 28-0. The opposing team takes their foot off the gas and Dak is only then able to start moving the ball at will and his homers are fooled into thinking he is leading a massive come back. In reality, the opposing defense is letting them start piling up yards.

Any yards gained in this example are 'garbage time'.

I understand why some want to defend Dak, but there are far too many instances where the defense started getting their rear ends handed to them because the offense stunk and kept their own defense on the field too long. The offense has to do their part too.

I am not disagreeing on this, As it is the ultimate team game.
I am not defending Dak either. I just find it funny, that fans use this stat only against Dak and no other QB when it come to this forum.
It is a mythical stat.

Remember the December wins and losses against Tony Romo, then someone came out with how Tony rarely lost in October, or maybe it was November. All those meant nothing.
