Stats: Analyzing Completion Percentage - Bwestfield - 06-24-2017

They say every player on a football roster is important. While this is true, there is no doubt that the QB is the most important player.One of the most important statistics for that player are how often he completes his throws. The best way to look at this would be to compare the QB’s percentage of completed passes and remove the dropped passes from wide receivers as it was not a result of the QB’s accuracy. However we don’t have all that data at hand so we will go with what we have. So let’s take a look at the completion percentages of each starting quarterback as of Week 8.

From the graphic we see above, when comparing QB’s with more than 150 attempts there is only a slight correlation to wins if any at all.

Boss 3 Wins 2 Losses
Kyubee 3 Wins 5 Losses
Noble 6 Wins 2 Losses
Orosz 4 Wins 4 Losses
Christ 1 Wins 7 Losses
Draxel 5 Wins 3 Losses

There is also no correlation to interceptions as you have a huge number at both the top and the bottom of the list. That just goes to show that the defenses might just be better at making picks than just defending the pass. Perhaps the secondary is going for the big play overall or the front 7 are pushing hard enough that passes are really bad going into defenders hand or simply over the heads or at the feet of the receivers.

Completion percentage does not have a huge gap anywhere with these players being within 8% of each other. This really shows just how close the competition is in this league. Over the next 6 games I can see one or two of these QB’s really pulling away from the rest of the league and again 1 or two really falling away. Next week will really show who will be getting some playoff spots and who will be looking towards next season’s draft. Do I think that the QB performance has a lot to do with who goes and who stays? Yes, however at this point in time there is no clear cut winner at completion percentage and I don’t believe that will have any effect on who walks away with the trophy this year.

All in all we should be seeing some of these percentages jump up into the high and mid 60’s but probably not much higher. Once the coaches get their playbook the way they want them, QB’s get more practice time and familiarity with their receiver’s, we will see a significant jump. So unless you just are not a good QB (which I doubt you are) you have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks. Good luck and we’re all counting on you!
