Someone earlier asked about why Kap was not under center as much as he was the last game when it seemed to really help his game. I ADMIT I turned it off at the half (I had a pressing need to redecorate the closet) but: is it true that he wasn't under center as much, and if so, any theories as to why?
Personally, I don't think we were confident enough in our ground game or pass pro under center vs Seattle, so play passes under center wouldn't have worked as well. It is true that kaps numbers are better under center from a rating standpoint, but he completes a higher % of passes from the gun. The main difference between the two is his Sterling TD to int ratio under center. Numbers:
CAREER
Gun: 62% 86 rate
Under: 58% 96 rate
2015
Gun: 64% 79 rate
Under: 54% 91 rate
I think the undercenter numbers are being pumped up by a 31 to 6 TD to int Mark for his cAreer. For 2015, he has yet to throw a pick undercenter. The stat we need to see is rating undercenter with no play fake. I just think it a tough ask to move the ball all the time undercenter if the pass game is entirely based on PA. Also within that TD to int Mark is a bunch of goaline TD passes from heavy sets that were essentially a throw to a wide open VD or a throw away.
