Eric Moulds' Amazing Stat - 88% of Targets Caught (22/25) (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

I was checking through Stats.com and ran across this interesting stat on Moulds - he has caught 22 of his 25 targets. RB's and TE's are commonly in the 70-85% range, but I went back a few years and it's rare for a WR to do better than 70% for a season (Hines Ward with 74.1% (80/108) in 2004 was the highest I found).

SD's WR's are also doing well - McCardell with 80.0% (16/20) and Parker with 75.0% (18/24).

Change "year=Q" to P, O, etc. for earlier years.

I think it says alot for Carr, actually. Especially considering that Andre Johnson is sitting at 72.2%.

What's the percentage of times that David Carr has been targeted vs. body slammed by D-linemen?

 

[s_ezy]

Kellen Winslow has caught 30 of 37 targets for an 81%

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

still wish the Bills would have kept him or that he would have at least gone to a contender instead of wasting away in Houston.

It also might be a negative reflection on Carr. I was listening to the NFLN last week and I don't know who the guy was but he slammed Carr and made some good points. This was prior to the Dallas game but he said if your QB has a high a rating as Carr does and your record is 1-3 than that means the QB is afraid to take chances and make things happen and that makes sense. Regarding the completion percentage to WR's Ronald Curry caught 73.5% of his targets in 2004 and is at 69% for his career. Granted his body of work is not great but this is the primary reason I'm miffed the Raiders do not play him more and even more miffed they only targeted him once last week when he had been their most productive WR the past two games. Just this year Curry has caught 55% of his targets but averages 9.61 yards per target. Compare that with Moss who is as 42.5% and 5.55 yards per target and Whitted who is at a horrific 34.7% and 4.17 yards per target. I understand Moss gets double and triple team so his numbers should be a little lower than Curry's but I see no reason why a guy like Whitted is playing over Curry.

Like someone said, i think it says more about Carr than it does Moulds. I could be wrong, for I have not seen any Houston games this year...but, I would lean in the direction of "most of the time Carr threw a good ball to Moulds".

Especially considering only 4 of Moulds catches were for longer than 20 yards.

 

[redman]

Carr is averaging 10.34 yards per completion, which is a pretty low average that indicates he's mostly completing short-range passes.

By way of comparison/contrast, Carson Palmer's averaging 11.89 ypc, Brady's averaging 11.71 ypc, Plummer's averaging 11.39, Brunell's averaging 11.8, Vince Young's averaging 10.90, and Andrew Walter is averaging 12.73.

The scheme that Kubaik has put in place plays very well to the strengths of Carr. There are a lot of passes on the move, quick decisions and when there is some semblance of a running game play action passes. When the Texans can do these things Carr is a pretty efficient passing as the rating suggest. The issue is that efficient passing alone does not mean truly effective passing. The Texans still can't drop back 5 or 7 steps consistently and throw the ball down field even with two good starting WRs.
