re: Nuss will never be QB1 if he keeps throwing INTs consistently

I'll take 4 TDs and 1 Int all day long....
What if that 1 INT is a pick six in a game where the opponents’ offense also scored 4 TDs and we lose because of it? Do you know football?

quote:what if it’s in the opponents territory and has the same effect as a punt? Which all but one of Nuss’s interceptions were. We can play what ifs all day long.

But we know for a fact JD’s strip sack for a TD came at the absolute worst time of a tied 17-17 game. But all anybody wants to talk about is how he protects the ball, and bitch about Nuss’s INTs

It’s the ole “would you rather 15:3 or 40:20?” The former looks better while the latter produces a greater number of points even if every pick is an opponent TD.
However the caveat is this doesn’t account for TD drives with significant passing that end up being punched in on the ground. Which I will say for JD seemed to happen often.
So you’d have to come up with some sort of analytic that compares TD throws AND drives with INTs multiplied by some factor that represents average points off turnovers. Which I’m sure some some nerds somewhere have done.

Do you? How does your scenario compare to scoring one TD, fumbling, turned into a scoop and score?
Turnovers are usually bad. However a long pass intercepted on third down, is no worse than failing to make a first on third down, and punting.
