Comments on: Passing Leaders in ANY/A Value Added Through 14 weeks http://www.footballperspective.com/passing-leaders-in-anya-value-added-through-14-weeks/ NFL History and Stats Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Brian Murphy http://www.footballperspective.com/passing-leaders-in-anya-value-added-through-14-weeks/#comment-268317 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:49:00 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=23138#comment-268317 Part of Kaepernick’s statistical problem this season is he didn’t get to PAD HIS STATS like usual against my Packers defense.

He’s played 3 games against us, and we’ve tried to get the prick enshrined into Canton.
He’s had the greatest running game ever for a QB in a playoff game.
He’s had his only OTHER 100-yard rushing game in the other playoff game against us, and in the regular season opener last year, oh by the way, he threw for over FOUR HUNDRED yards in that game.

Dom Capers has made him look great, when in reality, he’s clueless out there as SEEN ON TV this year.

So I was curious about the correlation for each of the stats. Here’s what I got:
TD Passes .76 correlation
Yards .58
Attempts .39
Sack Yards -.22
Interceptions -.21
Sacks -.18

Throwing TD passes seems to be the key to getting a high ANY/A. (Not surprising.)

I still have not been convinced that throwing TD passes is necessarily important in evaluating QBs. It seems to me that TD passes is more just a byproduct of otherwise playing well, and choosing not to run the ball near the goal line.
