Caldwell's Staff

A lot of the drops are from the ball getting on the receivers so quickly. You can see that his throws will be in a good place but the wr reacts to the ball to late and its an incompletion. I dont know how to correct this but I hope at some point Stafford learns to throw a better touch pass. A cannon is only good half the time the other half you need to put the ball in a place where the receiver can go make a play. His footwork is an issue and his timing is an issue. Fix those two things and hope the rest works itself out. He can be more accurate with those adjustments.
 
You think and hope that to be the case. Most of the players catching the ball will be the same including Bush and CJ. I been watching Peyton Manning for his entire career. He consistantly puts the ball right where it needs to be. Stafford is not accurate or consistant. Maybe the new QB coach can change his mechanics AND his mindset. I hope so....but I have serious doubts.

I don't think and hope with stafford. I charted all his throws. I know the majority of drops were on the weapons not stafford
 
my question now is who will be the Secondary Coach? maybe steal somebody from Seattle if possible

You charted all his throws?

Dude, you seriously need to get out more. Maybe get laid. At least go to a damned movie.

Life.. that's what I am saying... get a life.

Are you Jim Caldwell? Oh please say you're not Jim Caldwell..
 
I bet if there was such a stat Matt would be one of the worse when it comes to receivers having to dive for the ball, jump, stop on a dime, look backwards, go to the ground, or just stare into space as the ball travels out of bounds.

I also wonder how many "uncatchable" balls were counted as drops this past season.... I think they do take the catchableness of a ball when looking at drop rates and such. Staff for sure needs to be more accurate and learn to throw with more touch.

You charted 635 pass attempts? Geez maybe we should have hired you as our HC. I think QB coach is available.

2 quality posts of the year already. Lkp vs brewer. I forget whats brewers was about..but it was funny.
 
C'mon guys, leave him be. I mean I'm a homer but he is THE ULTIMATE homer.
 
Takes 30 min to watch a game. 8 hours total for all 16. Pen and paper. While you watch desperate housewives or some lifetime movie or some shit nba or college basketball game I was doing something more fun. Or usually while I am waiting for my wife to get ready, the get ready to go time is always 30-45 min later. Game rewind. I highly suggest you get it.

so are their pie charts as well? bar graphs?
 
LPK's game "analysis":

-Bush Dropped it
-CJ Dropped it
-catchable ball, should have made the diving catch
-If Bush was 7'11" he would have had that....not on Stafford
-Stafford slipped on a buger from Fox
-Warford's big head was in the way, he couldn't see the DB on the pick 6
-Butterfly in Greece took off, creating a slight wind that slightly put the ball off target, butterfly's fault
-Raolia had a sweaty ass creating a slippery football. Pick 6 not his fault

Conclusion: 3 INTs not his fault, too many drops and Stafford made the plays to deserve the win. Stafford now 15-0 vs. teams with winning record if you discount the drops, penalties, picks, pick 6's and the butterfly effect.
 
12 of the 19 picks were on Stafford. Some of those 12 were in wins though.
2011 10 picks in 4 losses. 6 in wins.
2013 10 picks in 4 losses. 9 in wins.

10-6 vs 7-9. 12 less turnovers forced in 2013 (22 compared to 34), 8 more fumbles lost in 2013(7 in 2011 compared to 15), drop rate 9% in 2013 compared to 6% in 2011.

Stafford did exactly what he did in 2011. You all are just too dumb to see that.
