I say the team avg 31ppg in spite of JL in '08.
Shows what a rushing attack will do for us. See OP's breakdown.
Subtract sack yardage and the statistics show that we averaged over 4 yards per carry in our rushing game.

QB B wins the statistics in the box score but sucks as a QB.
Except in the OPs case he listed 1st down conversion percentages on short passes, long passes, and rushing situations.
Also.. how can you claim that teams respected Flynn but also claim that it is impossible to know if teams respect Jefferson?

Actually I dont know if they respected Flynn. Thanks for pointing that out. That was one of the main parts of my post. Too many variables that you cant know. But the OP was trying to prove his preconceived notion. Someone trying to show that JJ was a big part of the offensive woes would point to sacks, 3 and outs, needless timeouts, and not checking into the right plays.
And his third down stats showed Flynn was good for a couple extra third down conversions a game. Which can easily make the difference in a close game.
And the examples were just to show how stats can be manipulated. But I dont think you will get anyone who knows anything about football to disagree that the qb has a major effect on the running game. The saints were 6th in rushing offense last year. If Brees goes down in the first game and Brunell is qb does anyone think we will be 6th again.
