However, 18 of 26 QBs failed to beat the 2021 efficiency avg this week and so Wentz is actually bestowed a rank of 18th. Along with the short yardage, this rolls up to a -0.10 epa efficiency, which in any other week would rank near the bottom of QBs. Wentz didn’t turn the ball over, but he also didn’t find the end-zone or throw many first downs (24th 1st%). Those measures combine into short yardage efficiency (4.7 ny/d). ![]() Accuracy was poor (-7.5% cpoe) and the receivers didn’t add much yardage (17th yac, 19th yacoe). The Colts were slightly pass-heavy (11th ed%), but on primarily short throws (25th adot, 21st ay/c). Here is the comparison to the 25 other QBs that have played so far this week. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but it could be. ![]() Clearly, Wentz had trouble finding targets downfield this week.Īt 10 weeks in, it should be 100% crystal clear to everyone that Wentz holds the ball longer than the average QB and throws the ball shorter than the average QB. His time to throw stayed basically flat to last week, but since his passing depth dropped dramatically, it’s actually a relatively longer reaction time. On the year, Wentz’s accuracy (cpoe) ranks 26th. OK, nobody says that, but they should, because it’s true. ![]() Then there are those that say with a depth of target of only 4.9 yds and other relevant variables, the average QB would complete 7.5% more of those passes and thus it is not a good performance at all. There are those that say a 64.7% completion rate is pretty good. Meanwhile, Pittman caught everything thrown his way. It’s never a good sign when a running back is the most targeted receiver. Short passes are fine as long as the QB has is accurate: Wentz has not been. On the year, his yards per attempt rank 21st on the back of short passing depth (24th of 32). His depth of target was ridiculously short (2nd shortest) and so it shouldn’t be surprising that his completions were as well (6th shortest). Wentz had 7 attempts >=10 yards and completed only 2 of them. On the year, Wentz is far from horrible, but he is also far from very good. Write down the 22 QBs that you think are playing worse than Wentz and refer back to #1.measures of events that actually drive offensive points. Really look at the above charts and count the number of games that he has been below average in these measures.Wentz’s inconsistency over the season is literally on display with these roller coaster charts.įor those that think Wentz is playing like a top 10 QB. As in that was his exact efficiency in 2020 when he was arguably the worst QB in the league. His -0.10 epa per drop-back this week is bad. It is also, unfortunately, only his 3rd worst of the year. His 36% passing success rate is terrible. There is a lot of red in the next chart because Wentz had a lot of negative value drop-backs. I’m not sure about you, but when my QB plays the worst passing defense in the league, I expect him to be. NOTE: All references to rankings are of the 26 QBs that have played as of Sunday night.īad, bad, bad. Commentary will be brief but feel free to let me know in the comments that stats aren’t everything. I will probably modify the charts throughout the season. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. Thanks to the nflFastR project and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data.įor those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts passing game performed. ![]()
