Jetsfan80 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 2 hours ago, JiF said: Dak Prescott has started 61 games in the NFL and plays for one of the most loaded teams in the entire league. His offense is especially loaded having a top 5 OL, top 5 RB, a top 10 WR, one of the best up and coming WR's in the league and veteran pass catchers all around him and he currently has 2 more wins than Sam Darnold who plays on arguably the worst team in the NFL, behind the worst OL in the NFL with average to below average weaponz. This is once again a situation where Jets fans pay zero attention to the details but will let DVOA tell them that Dak Prescott in the best QB in the NFL and Sam Darnold cant hold a candle to him. Yet, when I watched them play head to head, it wasnt even arguable who was the better QB on the field. Admittedly, a flaw in DVOA is it can't really factor in the talent surrounding any players. It simply takes into account down and situations and determines which plays are "successful". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Boys look to be in freefall now. Fully expect a firing at seasons end. Sadly, OUR two "good wins" now don't look so good, with both the Raiders and Cowboys in serious decline. It's very possible we end the season with no wins over winning teams.

Jetsfan80 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Bears had ~ 1 % chance of making the playoffs entering last night's game, per ESPN.

Cowboys have beaten up on some pretty bad teams this year, Skins, Giants 2x, Phins, Lions. Dak has had some big games agasint some pretty bad teams. Yes, it does. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/methods#dvoa Quote DVOA is a method of evaluating teams, units, or players. It takes every single play during the NFL season and compares each one to a league-average baseline based on situation. DVOA measures not just yardage, but yardage towards a first down: Five yards on third-and-4 are worth more than five yards on first-and-10 and much more than five yards on third-and-12. Red zone plays are worth more than other plays. Performance is also adjusted for the quality of the opponent. DVOA is a percentage, so a team with a DVOA of 10.0% is 10 percent better than the average team, and a quarterback with a DVOA of -20.0% is 20 percent worse than the average quarterback. Because DVOA measures scoring, defenses are better when they are negative. For more detail, read below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys have beaten up on some pretty bad teams this year, Skins, Giants 2x, Phins, Lions. Dak has had some big games agasint some pretty bad teams. It considers the opponent’s aggregate, not at the time the opponent was played. For example, when the Jets win over the cowboys and raiders start to look more and more pedestrian as the losses continue to pile up for them. Conversely, the loss to Miami is looking better and better. Obviously this method causes data smoothing and doesn’t account for hot/cold runs or for the Immediate impact that a short term injury to a significant player will have, but overall it’s Pretty good. The major issue with DVOA as 80 pointed out is that it doesn’t factor teammates...which is why you get posters calling Dak an MVP candidate on a sub .500 team with almost all their wins coming against scrubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas puts some professional players around Darnold, especially OL...Darnold is going to want $100Mill a year in 3 years, if Prescott insanely thinks he’s worth 40. If Darnold was QBing the Cowboys THIS year, with that stacked team, I think at worst they are 10-3 right now. ? insert 27th ranked QB over the last two years, add water, stir well. Bake at 400* for 30 minutes and, presto! The Cowboys are 10-3. No sense letting facts ruin a good story. Better to stick with hopes and dreams, we can always have a happy ending that way.

You know in your heart that wherever you are getting that ranking it means exceedingly little and has no real relation to what Darnold is or isn't at this point. He is a work in progress. No analytic really is very good at determining how good a QB is. As an example, there are QBs that have completely upside down ratings if you lool at Total QBR and compare it to DOVA or another advanced statistic. I will say this. When I watch Prescott I see nothing elite about him at all. I see another in the list of compiler QBs that will have good statistics but when it really comes down to being "the guy" falls short over and over and over again. These QBs do well against really week teams WHEN surrounded by a lot of talent, but completely fail against good opponents. As last night showed, oftentimes these QBs will wind up getting decent stats from these games as they compile huge numbers against soft zones when the game is out of reach. Prescott is that guy. He has had his team completely out of many games this year including Jets, Green Bay, last night, and several others and then just gets a lot of stats in second half. Team loses but it appears it wasnt his fault. There is nothing exceptional about Prescott. The are probably at least 20 QBs, maybe more that would be as effective or better than Dak if they played on the Dallas team. That is what my eyes see. FWIW, there are signs that Darnold might be one of these guys as well, especially looking back and seeing that Oakland and Dallas were not really quality wins either. But I see way more talent in Sam than Prescott and I am hoping that once he has a solid team around him he will really take off. Garbage time stats are really a scourge in the perception of players in the NFL. An interesting stat would be stats weighted by what the game situation was. Is it a close game, or just silly time stat padding time. I suspect Dak would plummet in his perceived value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Adams, the architect of the Patriot franchise and their various forms of cheating, has been using advanced stats since the beginning of the Patriot dynasty. It makes more sense in other sports as you know. I find the advanced athleticism testing stuff important for certain positions. I think certain stats are important in FA player evaluation. I just don’t think these equation stats work well in Football. I don’t think Ernie Adams has been using DVOA and PFF to make any decisions. From what I understand, his value is more in regards to situational football and scouting, not how other players on the league grade out on a equation like we are discussing. That team is notorious for not signing big name free agents, so I don’t see how advanced stats the way it’s being used vs/against the play of a particular player on the board applies to what he’s doing for the Pats but I don’t know intimately what he does for them either. For example; what good does him knowing that DVOA says Dan Prescott is the 3rd best QB in Football and Darnold is 31st or whatever? What do the Pats gain from that knowledge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jets have one of the worst olines in the league and nothing resembling a #1 wr. If you are going to twist the narrative like you just have you must be really distressed at Baker mayfield and what he has done this year considerimng he has vastly better talent around him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should also apologize for throwing Baker’s name into that reply to the other guy. It obviously came off the wrong way. Him and I go back and forth about him, and I only threw his name in there to show I wasn’t talking exclusively about Sam in my reply to his cute little “I’m here to see if Dak is still an MVP candidate” remark. As for what Dak has around him, yeah, no comparison. But by the same token, there is not a single thing Sam has done in his two years here that should have made anyone in this thread say he is better then Prescott, or would be with that talent around him.
