An Interesting Note On Cam From My QBA Research

As I've mentioned before, I've been working hard on developing my own quarterback metric that I feel is more accurate of a quarterback's performance than passer rating.

So far, I've managed to both simplify the formula and improve it's accuracy to over 5% more accurate than passer rating, averaging an 84% percentage of games correctly predicted.

What is interesting about all of this is that it shows that Cam has had 5 losses in his career despite having the higher QBA, among the highest of all quarterbacks in my dataset.

When you see which games they are it makes you sad, because we know them well:

In other notes, I think I'm just about finished with the formula. It has accurately predicted 39 more games over the last 3 seasons than passer rating, which is usually the gold standard for winning metrics. I also think it does a great job delineating between quality quarterbacks and subpar ones.

And before anyone asks me about Matt Moore's ranking, he has one game in the database, and if he a 70 QBA average over a full season it would be terrific but for a single game it's merely a notch above average.

omg....Cam has the ability to play well, that is all the metric I need to hear. What is the point of all these numbers when you can see with your own eyes whether a QB is playing well or not? You can do all the analysis you want, Cam is a good quarterback and is mobile, and capable of dynamic plays. Every passer can have a bad game, trying to predict it and what not is ridiculous.

It's not about predicting future play, it's quantifying individual performances to try to show why a particular QB won a game. Or if they didn't, why they still played well enough to win, as in Cam's case, but the team around him didn't uphold its side of the deal.

      And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.

      I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

      3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
