Interceptions that shouldn't have been.. (1 Viewer)

[Bigboy10182000]

I searched the forum and other sites looking for a stat of interceptions by QB's that shouldn't have been their fault. I probably watched roughly 6 Giants games this season and saw a bunch of these by Eli. I really wasn't aware he threw that many interceptions and I thought I saw aleast 6-7 that shouldn't have really been his fault. I figured that there was a stat for this and had no idea where to find it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Not sure how useful that would be but if you do find it I hope you also have a stat on passes that should have been picked but weren't because the defender dropped it. I have a feeling that number would be much higher than the one you're looking for.

and dont forget INTs that were negated due to penalty. and what about the halftime hail marry play?

I think KC Joyner might include them in his bad-decision metrics. Not sure. It'd be nice to be able to separate bad-decision interceptions, where the QB made a pass he shouldn't have, or didn't see the defender, etc., vs. bad-luck interceptions (bounce off receiver's hands, hail mary at the end of a half, etc).

I have no idea where to find this data, but if you are talking about Eli this season, I heard on local (NY) radio that he had 7 INTs this season that went off a receiver's hands and were catchable.

Yeah, but we hear this (particularly from some Giants fans) about Eli Manning every single season. I mean c'mon now, either Eli is somehow the greatest QB of all time who only receives knocks on his stats from horrible WR's, or something's a miss here and Eli deserves some blame for this always happening.

I'm not an Eli or NYG fan but watch virtually every game and (this season at least) I would say it's been very bad. Balls that weren't just catchable, but those that were literally in the grasp of the WR but bobbled into a pick. That doesn't mean that he hasn't benefited from dropped INTs or that the other 18 or so INTs weren't all on him, just stating the observation.

You're not going to find it. HTH.

I'll have to give that a look. That's pretty much what I wanted to take a look at it for. Thanks!

HTH=hope this helps(?)Giant fans give Eli such a long leash, it is laughable. I remember when K. Warner was here, and he had a ton of interceptions that went off of NYG receiver hands, the noise to bench him was incredible. NYG ends up benching Warner to go with Eli, in a season that they could of made the playoffs. I will give Eli kudos on one thing, his Superbowl which might be my favorite football memory of all-time - and I'm a Steelers fan.

--not a Giants fan--I don't know what it is about the Giants, but it seems like they've had this issue, regardless of QB, since Kerry Collins. Toomer used to have a lot of balls go off his hands and go up in the air for easy picks. Seems like the same thing happens to Manning--compared to other games I watch, it sure seems like a lot of Giants receivers are deflecting catchable passes up into the air.

true, a disproportionate amount of deflections off of his receivers' hands could just be an indication that he's throwing balls too high or off target.

I could see this stat maybe coming into play if the guy was changing teams. But he's still going to be throwing to the same interception causing receivers next year. Whether it's his fault or not doesn't factor much in the bottom line of fantasy points.

The NFL should have a stat like this. QB INTs...which the QB just gets picked then NON-QB INTS which should deal with dropped, tipped, stripped pass etc. Pitchers in baseball have earned and unearned runs, same should be for QBs. Earned and unearned INTS

Unless you had Passes-that-should-have-been-intercepted then you would only be looking at one side of the equation. I think QBs, Eli included, benefit more from defenders with bad hands than they are harmed by bobbled passes tipped for interceptions by their receivers.

Interceptions, dropped interceptions, Hail Mary interceptions and tipped interceptions.

Eli Manning and Chad Henne got absolutely hosed this year with bad luck. Mark Sanchez needs to buy a lottery ticket.

 

[SWC]

the g men should investigate the effect of there stadium lighting upon wr catches and if it temporarily makes them have motor control problems in thier arm and hand muscles

 

[JohnnyU]

Quinten Coryatt dropped an interception between the two 5's on his chest that would have put the Colts in the Super Bowl

The only thing I know about that might contain this is the game charting data from Football Outsiders. It's all manually done though so it takes a while for it to be available and costs money. They have 2009 - 2005 for between $30 - 50 each year.
