Fansince, I will accept your criteria-the failure of the defender to catch the throw does not erase the fact of the throw being inaccurate and should be counted in calculating Grossman's INT percentage.
Concordantly, drops by Redskins receivers-this time being failure to catch a pass thrown accurately should be counted as completed passes when calculating Grossman's completion percentge-which, as a result, would be better, as would his calculated QBR.
fine by me. then let's carry this to exact extremes:
- batted passes
- passes behind the receiver
- passes to the wrong shoulder
- high passes
- fumbles
- sacks caused by holding onto the ball too long
- failure to see open receivers
- out passes into the turf
- intentional grounding hose-ups
and on and on.
RG has done many good things. He has impressed me with his fade passes to the end zone - didn't think, based on preseason, he had that touch. he can thread it at times. he has executed the part of the offense they have tasked him to lead. as QB...3-1 is as much his achievement as anyone's. he's kept his mouth shut through good and bad. he's even amusing at times - ever notice how butterball almost misses making handoffs for running plays off tackle? he has to sprint!
the analysis needs work. again...I think it's a great idea and a good start. I remember similar stuff two years ago at the other place during the Campbell wars.
