NFC North QB Race 2009

[Zool]

It was meant for everyone Bobble not you. I like Ras's QB ratings thread to be clean. I would be happy if the only person posting in this was Ras himself every Tuesday. We can beat the other crap to death in other threads. I like stat threads.

[GrnBay007]

I think it's kinda odd for anyone to be dictating what is posted in a thread. I mean really, there is enough complaining about regulation...u want more? If Rastak is offended I'm sure he will speak up. Discussion doesn't hurt his thread IMO.

[Zool]

I disagree. I like to look back week to week to see who's making what progress and be lazy about it. Plus these are the same discussions that are in multiple threads already.

Cincinatti is about the same range we are, they are not a top 10 team, and pretty doubtful they go anywhere if they do get in the playoffs. It was a equal caliber team in terms of how they are playing and we are. So, that game is there.

Even with Minnesota's loss, I think most will keep them top 5. It was a tough game on the road and they had chances to win it late, against a really good team. In see parts of the game, the teams looked pretty much equal. SO, doubt they drop too much. #4 team in the league I still feel, but we'll see.

Anyways, Favre's worst day of the year so far and the int wasn't even his fault. If this is the "bad brett" the vikes get for the year they they are going to win a lot more games. Bad Brett is still better then the other QB's they have. Plus they have All Day.

ANyways, good day for rodgers, as it should be against that team. Pretty sure he is either deadlocked with favre or slightly ahead.

Good to see the numbers panned out after were done today.

The reason for doing this is to get an idea of the total effectiveness of the passing game (it could be argued that the QB rushing should be added in, but how do you figure that into the attempts / completions and you also need to remove the designed runs - kneel down and sneaks).

IMHO, it would be quite silly to add in the sacks but not add in the rushing yards. That would be biased towards Favre. ARod takes more sacks because he can make plays with his feet. You are hurting his stats by taking this into account, but not rewarding him when those plays turn into positive yards.

I really don't think that our passing offense is hurt by the sacks that much. I think this season the drops have been a much bigger factor in our passing offense.

Ras whats the update? Cutler must have fell a bit

[PlantPage55]

Rodgers is #1 in yards per attempt and #2 in QB rating.

In the NFL.

Yup, always willing to put up the stats but not come through with the wins that asshat.

But no seriously! I would have thought Peyton or Brees would be ahead in YPA, that's really good.

Haha, pretty much the same number Favre had last week for a rating. One average game will drop that rating in a hurry.

ANyways, big matchup this week. I think both offenses you know what you get, and thus it will be which defense plays better.

PIT might beg to differ, because one of these two offenses coughed up 14 4th quarter points for the opposition this week.

Yeah but they were both pretty fluke plays. The backup RB drops a screen pass, not just drops it, but tips it up in the air to be picked: the other the guy barely got his hand on the ball, but just enough.

It was fluke plays. You forget: Both of those plays the vikes were driving the field. You know what you get, and sometiems the ball doesn't bounce your way.
