*S10 Final QB TANY/A - kckolbe - 09-29-2018 Noble Attempts 356 Completions 155 Yards 1551 Sacks 66 Yards Lost 429 TD 1 INT 13 Rushes 15 Yards 16 TD 0 Fumbles 4 Plays 437 Yards 1138 Adjustment -655 TANY/A 1.105263158 Well, the season is over, and once again Noble has failed to break the one I cared about the most...TANY/A. He finished 0.16 above Pierno. Fortunately, however, he did break some records that one QB will be glad to unload. @Daybe Ryan Applehort no longer holds the record for lowest passing yards in a 14 game season, lowest touchdowns in a 14 game season, or worst TD:INT ratio. In fact, Applehort no longer holds any negative single season records. Akselsen Attempts 547 Completions 312 Yards 3570 Sacks 39 Yards Lost 238 TD 19 INT 19 Rushes 46 Yards 129 TD 1 Fumbles 2 Plays 632 Yards 3461 Adjustment -500 TANY/A 4.685126582 Well, his sacks were pretty low? There isn't a whole lot else that can be said about the veteran's worst career year. The only real positive is that by keeping his rushing attempts low, he only fumbled twice, meaning that Pierno still has the record for career fumbles. Showbiz Attempts 548 Completions 306 Yards 3532 Sacks 61 Yards Lost 402 TD 14 INT 8 Rushes 34 Yards 99 TD 0 Fumbles 3 Plays 643 Yards 3229 Adjustment -147.5 TANY/A 4.792379471 Honestly, I thought he played better in the second half of the season, even after Crush was gone. Obviously, his numbers took a significant drop, but he played a lot smarter, and actually turned the ball over less and was sacked less. Two of his three most efficient games were second half of the season, his third most efficient game without Crush. I'm saying this because it shows that Showbiz and Orange County eventually got on the same page, making things look better for next year, especially with the return of Tegan Atwell. Fitzpatrick Attempts 538 Completions 322 Yards 3392 Sacks 39 Yards Lost 240 TD 17 INT 6 Rushes 38 Yards 144 TD 1 Fumbles 1 Plays 615 Yards 3296 Adjustment 67.5 TANY/A 5.469105691 I fully expected Showbiz to be more efficient, but not only did Fitz do a better job of completing passes and finding the end zone, but he actually handled about the same amount of volume, attempting only 32 fewer passing plays. The biggest difference is that despite dropping back only 32 fewer times, he was sacked only 39 times to Showbiz's 61. Also, what little advantage Showbiz had in the air, Fitz made up on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and a TD. Next year he won't have that big OL to hide behind though, or Mack to carry him through tough games. Applehort Attempts 657 Completions 367 Yards 4314 Sacks 47 Yards Lost 291 TD 36 INT 14 Rushes 12 Yards 54 TD 0 Fumbles 2 Plays 716 Yards 4077 Adjustment 45 TANY/A 5.75698324 Last year, he was *so* good. So, at first, I was kinda surprised to see such an apparent regression. Then I saw the pass attempts. His 716 plays would be one of the most in any NFL season, which is an extra 2 games, and Applehort very rarely ran, meaning that he might have more dropbacks than any NFL QB has in one season. To pass that much, a QB needs a deep WR corps. Miller is only going to get so many yards a game, as the sim tends to "turn WRs off" after a little over 100 yards. Miller averaged over 102 a game. Aaron and North performed their roles well, too, but they also got tapped out, so he checked down to Grau more. On top of all of them, Applehort averaged 6 completions a game to receivers at or under 200 TPE. A few less attempts per game, and I think he would have been significantly better. Pennington Attempts 568 Completions 334 Yards 4283 Sacks 45 Yards Lost 303 TD 24 INT 12 Rushes 14 Yards 53 TD 1 Fumbles 1 Plays 627 Yards 4033 Adjustment -62.5 TANY/A 6.332535885 He has arrived! His interceptions were a bit higher than Yellowknife would have liked, but he threw more TDs than he had in his first two seasons along with 1/4th the interceptions. I would have liked to see just a bit more scrambling mixed in, but I am sure there will be plenty of that mixed in next year as he waits for the replacements to Atwell and Kennedy to get open. The future may be bleak, but there is no longer any doubt. Pennington is an NSFL QB. Blocksdale Attempts 601 Completions 354 Yards 4400 Sacks 32 Yards Lost 199 TD 31 INT 10 Rushes 27 Yards 216 TD 2 Fumbles 3 Plays 660 Yards 4417 Adjustment 142.5 TANY/A 6.908333333 Avon...you make regression look good. Anyone else remember Avon cosmetics? No? Fuck. At any rate, despite dropping off a little from last year, Blocksdale showed he was not any slower by gaining 40% of his new career rushing yards in one season. He was actually more efficient running the ball than throwing it. Given that he isn't white, that's very convenient for racial narratives. Oh shit, I hope he still likes me enough to laugh at that. As always, the key to his success is avoiding sacks, leading the league in fewest sacks taken for the third consecutive year. Maximus Attempts 635 Completions 382 Yards 5026 Sacks 40 Yards Lost 272 TD 40 INT 12 Rushes 58 Yards 260 TD 2 Fumbles 3 Plays 733 Yards 5014 Adjustment 232.5 TANY/A 7.157571623 It wouldn't be fair to call this a breakout season, but seeing a TANY/A like that despite so many rushing attempts was beautiful. His 58 carries moved him into 3rd all-time in rushing attempts, narrowly passing Ethan Hunt. His best stretch came in weeks 6-9, when he posted a TANY/A above 8 in four consecutive games, including against Baltimore.
