Who is: that guy from the mormon school?
Naw, then it wouldn't be as fun.
I'm guessing the 125.6 came from the "projected" stats.
But you can't "project" a higher passer rating than you have in whatever games you've played. That would be like a batter hitting .290 in limited action "projecting" to .320. It must be some non-QB with a limited # of passes. LT and ARE come to mind, but both of them have passing ratings that are too high.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
Holcomb started 7 games for the Bills, resulting in a 4-3 record. Projecting the stats for his complete games over a 16 game season, you get 3400 yards, 24 TDs, and 11 INTs.
Except he played in 9 games not 7 so your projections are off. You can't pick the games you want to count towards his totals.Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
It's quite surprising, really. Holcomb has outplayed his competition in at least 2 cities now, and yet he can't seem to get any respect or job security.
If Holcomb had started every game, the Bills would be in the playoff hunt right now.
Well, first off, Holcomb's Comp% is 68%. Second, his rating is only 92.9. Third, and this one is huge... his yard per attempt is a very poor 6.87. Yards per attempts is a great stat, because it shows who is padding their completion percentage with 5 yard gains and who has a low % because they keep throwing bombs. Basically, all QBs in all styles of offense can compare YPA. Also, YPA is the stat that has the highest correlation with winning.
Who has a passing attempt for Denver? I know Plummer has played every single snap except for 3, and all of those 3 were running plays. There was another where Van Pelt was lined up under center and ran a QB draw, but that wasn't a passing attempt. Did they credit the aborted trick play with Rod Smith as a passing attempt for Rod Smith, because he never threw the ball?
Actually, I only projected the stats from the 6 full games that he played (omitting the Week 10 game where he was injured after 1 quarter).Holcomb had 9 TDs and 4 INTs in the 6 full games that he started (including 1 rushing TD). Projected over 16 games and you get 24 TDs and 11 INTs.
