Yac: The distance between point of reception and the spot of the football at the end of the play. Pr% : The % of dropbacks where the QB was pressured (per Pro Football Focus)Īdot : The average air yards thrown per attempt.Īy/c: The distance between the line of scrimmage to the point of reception.Ĭpoe: Completion % over an expected amount based on game situation (air yards, down, distance, field position etc.) Ttt : The average time from snap to the point when a QB throws. Wrsr : The % of designed carries that earn more epa than the median league value in similar game situations (down, distance, field position etc.), adjusted for 4th qtr game script and weighted by result (TD, first down, other) Opd: The epa/d given up by opponent defenses in all games other than the QB/team being measuredĮd% : The % of plays on early downs (2) that are QB dropbacks. When converting that yardage efficiency to epa, the fumble brings it down (18th to%), but Wentz moved the chains with his arm at a high rate (8th 1st%) and he found the end zone (10th TD%), so his overall efficiency was great (7th epa/d). It still counts though.Ĭombine the previous measures with good accuracy (12th cpoe) and that gives Wentz high yardage efficiency (#2 ypa), which was maintained even when expanding the scope to all drop-backs, as his sacks and scrambles weren’t excessive (17th scr%, 17th scr%). Receiver yac was great (2nd yac, 2nd yacoe), but obviously skewed by Jonathan Taylor’s opening drive TD. Wentz threw primarily short passes (32nd adot), but connected on the longer ones (11th ay/c). The Colts ran a balanced attack this week (50% ed%) and the run game was strong (8th wrsr). On the year, he has done much better on the left side of the field. Is that because he is a little slow to find his receivers or is it because he has faced the #1 most pressure of any QB? Yes.īetween 0 and 10 yards, Wentz had a little trouble, but everywhere else he was good. On the year, he has the 10th longest TTT on the 3rd shortest passes. Wentz trimmed his average time to throw down to about league average, but again that comes with the shortest average throws of the week. He has the 8th best epa efficiency on pass attempts >=20 yards. Jonathon Taylor and his 76 yard TD beats out Pittman for top receiver yards, but that’s kind of cheating as Pittman caught 6 of 7 targets.įor the 2nd week in a row, Wentz was on the + side of accuracy with a +2.3% cpoe on a 71.4% completion rate. The other way around would be a bad thing. However, his average 7.1 air yards on completed passes (blue line left axis) increased week over week and ranked 11th highest. His average pass length of 5.8 yds (gold line right axis) dropped dramatically from last week and was the shortest of any QB in week 5. This next graph is a rather bizarre outcome. Through 5 weeks, he now has the 15th longest ypa (7.6 yds), even if it has come on shorter throws. His 11.5 yards per attempt was 2nd highest on the week and his incompletions were all on shorter passes. If this is the Wentz we get long-term, then the Eagles were fleeced. Really, really, really happy with his play. His success rate rebounded and for the first time this year he had higher than average 1st down conversion rate (8th) and net yards per drop-back (2nd).Įven if I ignore Jonathon Taylor’s 76 yard TD, the rest of Wentz’s numbers are still very solid. His 0.46 epa was 7th highest of the week and is the 2nd week in a row he has been highly efficient. The sack-fumble was his only big negative play of the night. This was by far Carson Wentz’s best game of the year. I don’t care what the scoreboard says, Colts won that game. 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.
