PFF Signature QB Stats
-
"Brett Hundley was sacked on 30% of his dropbacks last year."
Not what the table says?
-
-
Jeesh, for some reason I decided to look at Bryce Petty. Sorry!
-
I would buy into the meaningfulness of these stats,....
if all the qb's had the same players around them, same ocs,
and same competition.............................
-
what do the numbers of the top 5 QBs in the league look like the year they came out?

Interesting to look at the %Presure vs. %Sack columns. Mostly it seems to indicate a QB's elusiveness, but in more than a few instances the %Sack is actually higher, which I think would mean a QB is bailing unnecessarily and running into a sack.
Hundley looks to lead this as well followed by Halliday. My boy, Petty, is slightly underwater here.
As for the first table... Love me a PA proficient QB, but these spread QBs' style of PA is nothing like the skills needed by an under-center QB.
Couple other interesting tables in the link.

I'm with you on the play action, Tour. A read option PA is plenty different than a true PA. Namely, the fact that you can keep your eyes down the field on a read action PA.
However, I think one thing that doesn't get talked about enough is the decision-making of read action QB's. QB's with slow-moving wheels (both physically and mentally) tend to make poor fits for the read action.
So, to some extent, you could make the argument that QB's who are proficient in read action tend to be quicker decision makers, which is a welcome asset.

which I think would mean a QB is bailing unnecessarily and running into a sack. Tour
************************************************
quite possible, but also the strength of the offensive line per quality of competition on defense
varies. I mean, Sean Mannion had only 4 more sacks than Mariotta. That's hard to figure, given that
Mariotta is very quick and can run, and Mannion - well, I think he has faster feet than... Bernie Kosar had....
If a qb has the type of quick wr's that get open quickly off the los, that would benefit them hugely. If they
have long striders who are better at getting open eventually downfield...not so much to avoid a pocket
quickly collapsing. The toughest thing about stats is deciding what they actually mean in terms of legit
information.
And yes, given the relative same competition and offensive line quality.... a qb that reads
very quickly, like Kosar did, would benefit hugely.
Which makes me wonder... does Mariotta, given that line of reasoning, read defenses
less as adeptly that Mannion, for example?

Being a quick decision maker on a zone read is worlds different then being a decisive QB in the passing game. Also, QB's in systems that utilize a fake read to set up ball action tend to have their receivers on high percentage routes and or per-determined plays such as all matter of screens.

But some "reads" are real run/pass options keying on a LB or Safety... right?

Agree... I think some translation from read option to decisiveness is legit, but as you say focusing on the defensive key through the play fake is vastly different that snapping that head around and finding that key.
And the art of a proper play fake itself can not be minimized. Selling the fake is far harder than it appears it should be.
The toughest thing about stats is deciding what they actually mean in terms of legit information.
Undoubtably there are a ton of inequities, cal, that even a full year's worth of sample size cannot completely wash away. Still interesting to speculate...
