What's your proposed mechanism here? That is, how does a great OL keep all your other stats average but ONLY drive TD% way above average? I'd expect a great OL to have the effect of lifting all components of passer rating up slightly, not preferentially lifting one component up a lot while keeping the others average. If it's TD% that's going way up while the others stay average, that suggests to me it's either the QB or one of the receivers or TE's that are most responsible, NOT the OL.
watch derek carr from three years ago when his oline was outside the top of the leagues and see how he dealt with pressure. you think we had a lot of dumpoffs in miami under lazor? now he has time to hang in the pocket.
Yeah you're ignoring the question. How does improving the OL preferentially improve TD%? What you're describing would improve all his stats, but not preferentially TD%. TD% could be preferentially improved with the right receiver/TE or QB, not OL.
who cares about TD%. Sounds to me like a stat that awards teams that throw long and into the end zone which is what the raiders are with their improved oline and werent prior
Well.. since you specifically responded to a post where I pointed out TD% was the difference, that's what we should care about. And one can increase that with the right kind of receiver/TE, like a tall one with great hands that can catch a fade in an endzone. Point is, for this one stat you can't really argue the OL was the reason. What you can argue is that Carr's averages would be less with a worse OL, but something else is responsible for the TD%.
Did the Packers drafting Aaron Rodgers make sense? How about the Redskins drafting RGIII and Cousins in the same draft, did that make sense?
