Small sample size, but Tannehill's QBR Rating so far this preseason is 85. If you take away the 10 drops it is 104. The 104 is 34/43 325 yards 2 TDs and 1int There were some non-QBR attributes I saw in the past two weeks: 1.Fewer sacks 2.Command of the no huddle 3.Audibling 4. Accuracy of deep ball 5.Late in the half scoring drives The chatter has been less critical in quantity, but the quality has picked up, meaning, in SFLA, if you improve or exceed expectations, you're supposed to be Marino. Stay tuned
I've always been strongly behind RT. I think that what we've seen the last two weeks should be the floor of what we're to see this season, if guys can stay healthy.
Are you talking about QBR or Passer Rating? I did the math for passer rating and yeah, he was in the 80s during the preseason, although passer rating is more of a seasonal stat than a game-to-game stat. A guy like Tannehill can be at 120 one game and then at 60 the next. You need to use it over the course of the season. Drops can hugely influence smaller sample sizes because yeah, you take the same stats and add 1 TD and he's 94-ish. You add a couple TDs (which may still be fair) and he's over 100.
use your eyes and what you see and don't worry about what some meaningless numbers say. football is too complex to be accurately captured by numbers. baseball and basketball are sports you can use stats. football and hockey there are way too many players playing and too many variables at least when trying to determine individual performance. These types of ratings say more about the offense as a whole then they do an individual
Well in my eyes he has vastly improved game by game and camp by camp this year. The offensive line has been better and for now, we see his better play. The drops should take care of themselves, RT has to make sure he just reads the play, because all the great qb's do, they anticipate. He needs to eliminate the two or three bad throws he has a game, where one is picked and the others are almost. Whether he likes it or not, he is under more scrutiny because of a bad defense. He will have to do more with less (opportunities) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm not surprised by the rating. During the first game, Tannehill had to be pulled from the game because the o-line almost got him killed, and he went 2 for 4. And in the third game, the one interception he threw happened off two deflections.
I'm not sure that's a realistic expectation. Every QB has those. In my analysis two seasons ago he already had fewer bad throws than many of the elite QBs (ahead of guys like Wilson and Rodgers). Last season he regressed a bit, but IMO it was largely related to horrid pass protection. I expect that with improved protection that he's likely to be back in the top 5 or so. I think success for us will be more about play-making. Not just by the QB, but the whole team.
So if he gets protection, he should be one of the top rated QBs in the league, should be interesting to see.
In 2014, he was ranked 5th best in the league in terms of bad throws. He also had better pass pro for at least part of that year. If the low bad pass percentage and better protection are correlated then if he has better pass pro then his bad pass percentage should be pretty low. I didn't say anything about QB rating. I was responding to a post about bad passes.
His ypa was abysmal last game...looked very scripted, with compartmentalized vision..footwork looked better in the pocket.. Obviously need to get him on the move right and left, because he's deft going both ways, need to run the read option 3 to 5 times a game, and he needs to impov some, there is little to no improv in the players game..script will only take you so far, eventually mistakes will happen..
I'm not so worried about his ypa in the pre-season. The coaches have obviously been working on the short/medium passing and keeping the deeper passes mostly under wraps. We won't get a good handle the true offense until 2 or 3 weeks into the season.
