FootballLove Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This is why 'highlight reels' can be so deceiving. You could make a highlight reel of Zacks good throws and anyone who watched it would swear Zack must have been the top QB in the entire league. Same thing applies when watching highlight reels of these draft choices coming out. If you really want a good read on a player, skip the highlights and go back and watch an entire game or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Have you heard the good news? Have you accepted Zach Wilson as your own personal QB savior? Joy and salvation! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch their games against top competition. Like Coastal Carolina. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you actually watched the CC game. Zach was actually good in that game. Lots of drops and he rallied the team late to almost pull out the win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he did in the minors is pretty much irrelevant now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm optimistic about Zach's improvement late last season. When his receiver corp was guys off the street. Thats why this draft/offseason is so damn important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah you’re 14 in green the Giants fan. GFY I guess this is your way of saying “No thanks, I was talking out of my a** when I said Wilson will be a top 15 QB this year and Top 5 the next.” No problem, Jimmy. At least you were classy about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Everyone wants Zach to succeed this year but we can’t sink the ship with him in 23 if he is bad again this year Exactly why is this even a discussion in the spring of 2022 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 6 hours ago, Biggs said: 1 Complete pass of 25 yards for a td is a stat. Doesn't mean anything. A small sample size can show random changes have a large apparent effect on the analysis of the data. In this case that's what they have done. It's not relevant. A fact doesn't make a relevant conclusion. And it works the other way. A lot of attempts can hid a bad performance. As someone who was involved in research, too many instances isn’t better, it’s worse. Saying it’s not relevant because of too few instances is wrong.

FidelioJet Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Last 7 games over the 17 week season would translate to 22 TD's and 5 INT's. I expect more TD's - probably a few more INT's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Zach Wilson played the toughest schedule in the NFL - seemingly by a lot. This is without the final two games against Buffalo and Tampa (two top defenses) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of late though some PFF metrics have come out that I find interesting and offer something positive. Three data points stand out to me that are worthy of aggregating into one thread. 4th highest passing rating in the redzone for the season - 105.4 4th highest pass percentage in throwing into tight windows for the season - 32.1% 5th highest passer rating on short passes from weeks 15-18 - 114.1 Again, let me be clear - this doesn't mean a whole lot of anything - and each of these have been posted here already individually - but as a whole it's just something that's nice to see. Would be interesting to know how many red zone passing attempts were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does, based on that chart, show Burrow played the easiest defensive schedule in the NFL last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
