Passing choices on 3rd down.

It's as if Alex Smith is playing a different sport.

That's clutch.

How far down the field the ball was thrown for the catch. Its passing yardage minus YAC.
Then what is the "Minus Needs" part of it?Quote:

I had to pay the AMND on my tax return.
Air Minus Need? So, how far past the first down marker they throw the ball?Quote:

Sorry, I only defined the first part. Air Yards is yards passing minus YAC.Quote:

I am not sure it tells you much about Rodgers versus Manning, but it does tell you that Alex Smith is very trusting of his receivers to get YAC for a first.
Probably why he's considered a dink and dunk QB. The one thing Smith has going for him though is his mobility. I wonder what his stats are for scrambling first downs. He doesn't run a lot, but it seems to be effective (much like Rodgers).Quote:

Ya, you'd go with that...if you were his agent!Quote:

Looks like a camp arm. They're calling him a second year player, but it's his 4th year in the league - he was a UDFA in 2012. Also managed to get injured a couple of times, badly enough to get a settlement the first time and the other landing on IR while in camp or on the PS.Quote:

Kudos to Andrew Quarless for throwing off the shackles of reality:

"I consider myself the top echelon of tight ends," Quarless said, per the Green Bay Press Gazette. "That's really where I see myself and that's really where I'm trying to take it. A couple other guys like (Rob Gronkowski) and a couple guys who are up there. I put myself in that bracket. That's definitely where I'm training to be."
We should trade him now while his value is so high !Quote:

I'm training to be just slightly above average.Quote:
