The entire league is trending upward. Everybody is a dink dunk machine these days. Most really be completing three passes in a row and still punt on fourth down.
A good reason why yards per attempt is a much better efficiency stat than completion percentage; it actually measures output relative to attempts rather than just one binary outcome.
Defenses have largely shifted to a two high look to prevent deep balls. So naturally offenses dink and dunk. That scheme shift is part of the reason points are down this year
Falcons with Heinicke: 3 games, 0-2 as starter, 41-74 (55.4%) with 498 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 84.2 QBR. 68 rushing yards, 0 fumbles.
Falcons with Ridder: 9 games, 4-4 as starter, 161-236 (65.4%) with 1740 yards, 6 TDs, 6 INTs, 84.1 QBR. 150 rushing yards, 4 TDs, 7 fumbles.
Gaddddddam that’s a lot of turnovers
Melly vs Melvin
What happened in the 3rd game with Heinicke and 9th game with Ridder?
I’m assume they lost?
Heinicke averaged 249 yards and Ridder averaged 193.
Offensive points per game under ridder: 16
Offensive points per game under heineke: 24
Ridder turnovers: 8 in 7 games
Heineke turnovers: 1 in 3 games
If you add the turnovers into his total completions, he really gets the ball to someone else nearly every play
65%? Wuuuut?
