Another Statistical Look

Wow...this sure has made a turn to the off-topic.
All I was trying to do was show that the SUM PRODUCT of BQ's ability to elude the pass rush and take fewer sacks actually translates to a much higher yards per pass play than DA has...and that in turn would likely translate to fewer drives being ended by NEGATIVE pass plays....
anyway...so much for that

To be fair, Quinn has started 3 games so it is hard to translate the data definitively. Also, didn't Derek take something like 16 sacks in '07?

Count me in this group too.
For instance, in a two-minute drill, why does Derek Anderson turn into this guy:
Blue! You're my boy

yes...but then again BQ didn't play in '07...so you have to at least use the same OL (as Alo pointed out).
Funny thing is...we look at JL and JH and look at the differences in yardage...and despite the difference in number of carries we form an opinion...

Here is another interesting comparision:
There is no doubt that Braylon Edwards in particular dropped an awful lot of footballs last year – in fact the highest in the League according to most statistics trackers (remember that dropped passes tend to be less reliable stats compared to other more official NFL figures throughout the season). And of course that had an impact on Derek Anderson losing his job.
But a look at the overall team stats on dropped passes compared to the rest of the League proves an interesting point. It is possible for a quarterback to keep his job and perform well, even into the playoffs, in spite of his receivers dropping a lot of passes.
As of December 2008, the Browns were second highest in the NFL in dropped passes. I bet very few will guess the other three teams in the top 4: Eagles, Broncos and the Colts. McNabb and the Eagles made the NFL Championship Game against the Cards a very close contest. Cutler and the Broncos would have made the playoffs barring that pathetic performance against the Chargers at the end of the season. And Manning and the Colts advanced to the AFC Playoffs Wild Card Game against the Bolts.
So while many of DA's whiners have cried that the team around him didn't support him, it is interesting to note that of the top 4 teams in the NFL in dropped passes saw two make the playoffs, the other barely miss them, and the remaining one is still looking for a leader. DA is a backup, pure and simple. We'll find out about Quinn sooner than later.
