NFL 2017 season

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Well, he doesn't call plays on offense for one . . .

The combination of good coaching and smart players who execute the same plays everyone else runs can be a thing of beauty. A QB who understands the offense, is patient, will throw guys open, etc. will also have that effect.

I guarantee Bronco receivers were open a lot this season because they have talented players. A QB not seeing them, not throwing on time, not throwing with accuracy, tends to make it look like guys are covered more than they are.

I can drive a corvette faster than Jeff Gordon can drive a Prius. I must be the better driver.

Denver QBs couldn't execute a basic five step drop without getting sacked. The o-line is the meat and potatoes of football. Always has been.

Average yards of separation for wide receivers at the QB's release this season. The Pats are actually close to the bottom. Also of note from this chart: Tyreek Hill is really really fast.

Another useless stat. Only counts WR, doesn't account for how deep the throws are, etc... what about the crossing route where Brady hands it off to the receiver running in front of him in shotgun after the snap? How does the stat account for that?

More useless nonsense.

That's not what a crossing route is and it doesn't happen enough for it to make any statistical impact whatsoever, so it doesn't matter.

And it makes perfect sense to only use WRs fir that kind of stat as they are always supposed to be covered, unlike a back that might block and float into space or even just be watched as part of an underneath zone.

Just looked up Tyreek Hill highlights. He looks like a thicker Desean Jackson.

Doubtful they would count shovel passes anyway since the chart is meant to show coverage separation and that is not really coverage.

Pretty much. Because of his build, he's more of a threat with swing passes/screens etc. but DeSean is still the best deep ball WR of his generation.

I was at my buddy, Frostys house. We called him Frosty because he looked like the abominable snowman monster in frosty the snowman. Lol.
