Grade Breakdown

What do these mean?

Why 31.5?

The grade is low mainly because his plays produced few expected points per dropback, even after crediting him for facing easier defenses. That ranked 26th of 27 QBs. The other measures were near the middle and made little difference. This covers only 3 games and 93 dropbacks, a small sample.

Holding it back

  • EPA per dropback was -0.247 expected points per play, 26th of 27 QBs, even after the adjustment for easier defenses.
  • Week 3 at NYG, Q4: his pass intended for Ayomanor was intercepted by Holland, costing 4.5 expected points.
  • Week 3 at NYG, Q3 4th and 5: an incomplete pass to Helm cost 3.0 expected points.
