Fitz was legit in those 8 games in 2018. Well, except for the extremely high INT rate which was probably caused by the high pressure rate. He didn't rely much on playaction as 22.7% of his total yards came from playaction . He averaged 9.2 YPA on non playaction passes though. Which is why I am saying its legit.
2019 Tannehill relied heavily on playaction. 44.4% of his total passing yards to be exact and averaged 12.7 YPA. Non playaction he averaged 7.2 YPA.
26.5% of Brock's total yards have come from playaction. Brock is averaging 9.2 YPA on non playaction passes. He also has done this through 16 games and has faced pressure on a higher % of his dropbacks than either of those two QB's.
Dont wanna over-legitimize 8 games vs. Brock's 16 as a previous poster suggested.
My intention wasn't really to compare how well the QBs did either, tbh. Where we started at was pressure rate.
Both QBs listed had much higher pressure rates with comparable YPAs and -- get this -- Brock's time with the ball per fantasypros.com is longer!!
2.6 secs per play for Brock vs. 2.4 for Fitz,...even further enhancing how the pass protection looks in comparison.
Tannehill the next year was @ 2.7 but again....dont wanna over-emphasize guys that played fractions of a full 16.
Higher YPA correlate with being pressured more,....both in common sense and in the numbers, as they show.
With Jimmy getting the ball out quick for "
most" of the year last year, we were 2nd in the league in pressure rate % per the same site. But I don't think many here were overly-thrilled with big plays, and you can ask NC how impressed he was with our OL last year.
Getting the ball out quicker correlates with less chunk plays and lower pressure rates. 1+1 = 2.
That's all I was saying.
