Projecting QB1 - QB12 totals (1 Viewer)

The QB totals for the last years have really been all over the place. Below is 2001 - 2005

370 362 329 433 318

350 361 322 418 310

327 330 306 350 294

326 326 306 329 281

322 318 296 320 277

316 310 290 311 274

311 309 288 308 271

310 304 281 302 270

288 304 277 295 265

284 295 277 285 265

258 282 273 279 261

257 266 269 268 260

That's quite a spike in 2004. My question is this: are there any indicators that would point to QB #s going up or down, year to year, across the board like that?

last year was the lowest #s in a while

edit: this is 4 pts for passing TD, 1 pt per 20 yds passing, -1 for INT

I think the 2004 spike in QB performance may have been the result of the instruction to NFL officials to emphasize the pass interference rule.

Perhaps the biggest problem with these numbers is that they say nothing about injuries. I'd say that the biggest difference between 2005 and 2004 was that in 2004 you had three QBs with historic seasons - Manning, Culpepper, and McNabb. In 2005, Culepper and McNabb both got hurt, and Manning returned to the part of the stratosphere we still consider earth.

It would be very interesting to see the ppgs for the last 5 years...

 
Averages:

QB1- 362.4

QB2- 352.2

QB3- 321.4

QB4- 313.6

QB5- 306.6

QB6- 300.2

QB7- 297.4

QB8- 293.4

QB9- 285.8

QB10- 281.2

QB11- 270.6

QB12- 264

ETA- too slow

injuries are a factor, but i think they tend to average out. Culpepper was on his way to a down year before he got hurt. and this isn't just one or two guys, the whole top 12 dipped significantly last year, i'm just wondering if there's any reason for it.

:unsure: For some reason, mine are a little different.

could be as simple as subtracting for fumbles or not :shrug: the main reason this interests me is that if you do a post 2005 season VBD calculation of X-values in a 12-team, 1/2/3/1/1, ppr format, QB1 comes in at #39 :shock: . That doesn't even warrant a selection in the first three rounds.

Obviously it's not that simple, but it's still interesting.
