PFF: NFL Week 6 Quarterback Rankings
r/nfl: Noteworthy QB Observations per Next Gen Stats and PFF
r/nfl: Noteworthy QB Observations per Next Gen Stats and PFF
The One Where Justin Fields is not that Good
- Justin Fields is last in terms of aggressive throws (defenders within a yard of the receiver) at 4.5% yet somehow has the second-worst completion % over expectation (-10.4%) only better than Baker Mayfield who by these metrics, has been almost 4x as aggressive with his throws.
- Fields is second to Famous Jameis in average depth of target on play-action passes but is the worst in the NFL in adjusted completion percentage (drops + completions / on-target throws). This one might be more scheme/coaching based as Chicago seems to go for a lot of shot plays but those don't seem to be helping Fields much and he can't/won't make the hard throws.
Sack-e Bombs
- Per PFF's QB Pressure stats, Carson Wentz (the most sacked and pressured QB of the year so far) has only caused himself to be under pressure 8.4% of the time, good for the 11th-lowest percentage in the league.
- Conversely, Lamar Jackson has been credited with causing 30.6% of his own pressured snaps which is 6% higher than second-place Jacoby Brissett and would be the highest QB-owned pressure percentage since at least 2004.
-Justin Herbert has been pressured the most times (56) when NOT blitzed but, those pressures have turned into sacks just 8.6% of the time which is the second-fewest among Qbs who have played all 5 games. Jacoby Brissett is #1 with only 6.9% of non-blitz pressures becoming sacks but he has been under pressure exactly half as often as Herbert.
Fun Facts
Geno Smith is leading the NFL in these categories:
- PFF Passing Grade (87.9)
- PFF Big Time Throws Percentage (6.4%0
- Adjusted completion percentage (80.7)
- Completion Percentage over expected ( + 9% almost four times better than second place Jalen Hurts at 2.7%)
- Not Writing Back to those who had written him off.
