re: Adjusted qb stats (to account for drops)

Hey, let’s look at misses and make it to where each basketball shot that missed, is actually counted as a make because it was an easy shot, so it should have went in.

You miss the point. A dropped pass, for a QB, is like a made shot in basketball in which the scorer forgot to record it. The OP is right in his method. If a QB throws a great pass and hits a WR in the hands who drops it, the QB should be evaluated as successful; the TEAM should be evaluated as unsuccessful.

But that isn't what the OP did. We all watched the same game. Daniels threw behind, over, and into the dirt. Even the acrobatic one handed catch was a bad underthrow.

So you “adjusted” stats and ignored drops with zero consideration as to why the drops occurred or any definition of what constitutes said “drops”? Alright.

I don’t know what the OP did, but I know what he said he did, which was to add the completions to the ones that would have been completions, for every QB, then divide by their attempts. In that case, the poor passes that were incomplete would count against the QBs. That seems like a fair method of partial evaluation. It doesn’t take a lot of things into consideration, like did the QB quickly make the right read, call the right play, move properly in the pocket, etc.

This is what I came up with if Daniels got all the snaps and took out the drops and the INT, he is a athletic QB so he probably would avoid any INTs.

Daniels 37/49, 6 touchdowns 425
yards, 1 rushing touchdown
Nuss 0/0 0 touchdown 0 yards INT
Howard 0/0 0 touchdown 0 yards
Brennan 0/0 yards 0 touchdown

It’s pretty obvious to me he should start. And our defenses sucks.

It seems clear as a bell we should start Daniels

LSU fans have had to do this for years with the qbs.

Stop trying to make Daniel's look like a legit QB. He is not SEC talent.

To help us get an idea of how many passes were hitting receivers in the hands
I see a ton of people on this board claiming Daniels was just purely inaccurate, which is untrue because 4 of his wide open passes were well placed but dropped
I don't really care who the starter is, but claiming Daniels was just pounding the ball into the dirt while 7 of his 9 passes were truly accurate, is unfair.
(I'm a Brennan fan)

Also, they ran more screens with Myles than anyone else I think

All the crossing routes were with Myles. That's the bread and butter in a game. Myles nailed them. The long routes were focused on the blocking. The coaches were seeing if the blocking technique and if the blocking could hold up while the route developed. My 2 cents, Myles is your quarterback with Garrett ready if needed but waiting his turn next year with another year of coaching under his belt.
