Comparing QB's stats...

[TheRealDeal]

Honestly, if you watch the Broncos play, you can tell how instinctual those receivers have gotten. Their eyes are always on Tim. One of the reason why Tim Int. is so low is because none of the other team's defensive players can really catch his balls. Heck, some of his own players have to go almost to the ground to catch his balls. Some time the ball will hit the dirt before it gets to his own receiver. As we all know, most int. happen in the air. If you're barely throwing high, then int. should be a minimum.

Only most of the Ints happen in the air. Classic.

Answer this, if The Golden Calf of Bristol is so horribly inaccurate that not even defenders can catch his passes, how come he has more TDs/Att than Cam?

His receivers fuging suck btw

And now for the full picture. Adding in the ones left out in the OP.

Cam Newton

Passing Attempts: 452

Avg yards per pass: 7.9

Interceptions per pass: 1 per 29 attempts

Sacks per attempt: 1 per 15

4th quarter/game winning drives: 1(9 opportunities. 11%)

Andy Dalton

Passing Attempts: 415

Avg yards per pass: 6.8

Interceptions per pass: 1 per 35 attempts

Sacks per attempt: 1 per 21 attempts

4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives: 4(7 opportunities. 57%)

The Golden Calf of Bristol

Passing Attempts: 198

Avg yards per pass: 6.5

Interceptions per pass: 1 per 99 attempts

Sacks per pass: 1 per 9

4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives: 5 (5 opportunities. 100%)

*Denver's 6 for 6 in comebacks/game but The Golden Calf of Bristol scored 14 points in the 4th quarter against Oakland and blew them out.

Ints per pass attempts VS the elites

Rodgers: 1 per 73

Brady: 1 per 45

Brees:1 per 49

Cam Newton: 1 per 29

Andy Dalton: 1 per 35

The Golden Calf of Bristol: 1 per 99

*Alex Smith: 1 per 71

*Matt Moore: 1 per 44

That's the difference between elite and QB's who throw a lot and just get a lot of yards. The Golden Calf of Bristol's unreal. Dalton's not bad and getting up there. Cam has a lot of work to do. Harbaugh worked wonders with Alex Smith and I thought some might be interested in Moore this year.

Sacks per attempt vs the Elites:

Rodgers: 1 per 14

Brees: 1 per 23

Brady: 1 per 22

Cam Newton: 1 per 15

Andy Dalton: 1 per 21

The Golden Calf of Bristol: 1 per 9

*Alex Smith: 1 per 9

*Matt Moore: 1 per 9

Sack hurts much less than a pick. While O line has something to do with this, so does the QB and you should have less picks if you take more sacks. Cam has both high sacks and high interception percentages per attempt. The Golden Calf of Bristol takes the sack vs the pick and it's really paying off having the best interception per pass percentage in the league. Not to mention he's got no one to throw to as can be seen below.

The vets like Brees and Brady like to force it more to avoid sacks, not get hit and benefit from free penalty yards if they get the ball off, but still keep good int/pass percentages. Rodgers is still young and learning this trick or he just does not like to take chances at all and it shows in his playing. He opts to take a lot of sacks. Alex Smith leads the league this year in sacks, but is right there with Rodgers in interceptions per pass and the 49ers are one of the most efficient teams in football. Harbaugh's teaching Smith how to be disciplined and smart. Matt Moore's also playing disciplined and his O line sucks again. But he's right there with Brees and Brady in interceptions per pass attempt.

The Golden Calf of Bristol's help: lol. What help?(*also need extra data. didn't play full season).

But...but...but. "Cam Newton gets no help." Cam's getting all kinds of help compared to Dalton. The Golden Calf of Bristol's is harder to figure out because I can't find team yac per game anywhere but it's pretty pathetic from the looks of it. His air yards avg would be interesting to know.

Watch out for The Golden Calf of Bristol once he gets a receiver. People talking poo about him as a passer, will be eating some serious crow later down the road if they can get him some receivers. I'm personally going to stop after seeing this. The Golden Calf of Bristol is very disciplined and will take a sack before a pick in a heartbeat. He has no one to throw to and on top of that his receivers aren't getting him much in yards after catch and that's a big understatement.

It's been quite entertaining to watch he statistical circle jerk.

Cam gets lots of help, just look at Smitty's numbers....

Unless Steve threw the ball to himself, I think Cam had a bit to do with those numbers in the first place. Some of the leaps to conclusions made here are ridiculous.

Let's look at some of the facts and your implied assumptions behind them.

Steve Smith has more yards than either The Golden Calf of Bristol or Dalton's #1 receiver. Based on your own statements you imply Cam is getting more help from Smitty than the others are from their leading recievers. This also implies that the WR means more to his yardage than the QB. If that's the case, why did Smitty's numbers suck last year.

I mean who new being a year older and having a crappy (based on your implications) rookie QB and no offseason could suddenly increase your football abilities.
