Excellent game yesterday.
Makes the AFC West wide open again. Broncos could easily be 2 & 1 now instead of 1 &2, Chargers just got flat out handled yesterday and Herbie played down to the Giants, and Mahomes looked like Mahomes from a few yrs ago.

I think the only team we can remove from the equation is the Raiders. They aren't going anyplace with Geno at the wheel he's awful, if you bottle up Jeanty they got nothing

It's so early, but right now your top 5 in

QBR:
Jones
Allen
Mahomes
Dak
Lamar

Expected Points Added:
Dak
Allen
Mahomes
Jones
Herbert

Gives you a good indication of who's playing well.

I'd love to say Jalen Hurts, but the guy is throwing for 152 yards per game. His job is not the same as the other guys listed here.

Excellent game yesterday.
Hopefully starting off slow provided some much needed spark and focus.

With 3 straight SB runs and 5 out 6 SB appearances it's probably easy to start slipping on little things that make a difference with prep and focus.

Adding Worthy back had a huge impact. Can't wait for Rice to rejoin.

Double post...

Anyways, good day for the Oline too. Any time you don't hear Jawaan Taylor's name called is a good one.

Hurts completed 0 passes in the 2nd half yesterday. They still won.

That is WILD. That team is rolling. I heard they've won 20/21 games? Hurts absolutely does not get enough credit. Probably a good time to buy to be honest. At some point people won't be able to ignore it.

The bet with Hurts is that he becomes this generation's Troy Aikman.

In 70 career games he has 90 passing TDs and is averaging 188 yards passing a game. He has all the running stats too, but the credit for those get diluted too from all the tush push TDs.

But winning cures most. And his way is to just keep the machine going enough to win Super Bowls.

But he doesn't shrink in the moment the way guys like Lamar and Herbert do. Or disappear from the playoffs years at a time like Burrow does.

Nice pickup....curious the $ range you gave. Only asking because I have a raw one (not as nice of patches).



Good game from the O and the D.

Crazy the difference 1 player and having backs against the wall - several people basically saying it was a must win game.

Hope the true believes were able to pick up a few patties while the dip happened.

The EPA stat is clearly off for football then.

Either that or you just don't understand it.

Dak has more QB action plays that the rest of those guys on the list, besides Herbert, who has 1 more than Dak does. He leads the league in passing attempts and has played pretty well. He leading the league in passing yard and completions as well, by a large margin. He's been pretty efficient too, so that kind of volume is going to result in a lot of Expected Points Added.

There was never a dip. The opposite actually -- prices have been constantly increasing ever since the Chiefs lost the super bowl. Which on the surface makes no sense except that the whole sports card market is in the middle of an insane bull run for numbered cards of superstars. Patty's market is very high (I would say way too high), but supply/demand I suppose.

I think it's the former.

Probably the metric isn't that good at really calculating how good a QB is. Very similar I'd imagine to how Ryan Tannehill was ranked #1 in the league by PFF in 2019.

Just like how PFF consistently rated Cousins/Carr/Tannehill/Dak (same guy) very highly. Even though none of them were ever a top 5 QB in the league, and at best some of them might, at times, have been lower end top 10 or a bit outside.

PFF consistently graded them far above their actual skill and value on the field. I've watched 3/4 Cowboys games this season, I didn't think Dak was particularly good. For whatever that's worth, but EPA and advanced stats applied to football sometimes completely suck. Hence why Dak is ranked #1.

He's played in 4 games total. Two of those games have gone to OT.

Dak is a career stat padder who's been a fringe top 10 QB on and off but also never at any point cracked the top 5 or top 6-7 credibly. He's thrown the ball more than anyone in the league this year - 166 attempts.

His AY/A (Air yards per attempt) is 20th in the league, below the league average. Which explains why he has a near 73% completion rate partially.

I don't care much for rating and QBR, I think they are flawed stats but obviously matter to an extent. He's 14th in rating and 15th in QBR.

He has a 6-3 TD-INT ratio which isn't "good" really in modern football, maybe in 1990-2006 it was. Not really since ~2008-2010 onward.

I like PFF generally, I used to follow them a lot. But there's this weird short circuit that happens when they analyze a guy like Dak or 2019 Tannehill, Cousins, Carr, etc. It's like they can't distinguish value from high comp%, not making too many mistakes, and stat padding it up relatively. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't think Dak has done anything special, he's played deep into two OT games.

In his other two games, 50% of a short 4 game season thus far - he has 188 yards and 0 TD + 251 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT --- in games where the offense scored 20 and 14 points total. He's your leader in EPA?

Yea...I was being facetious about the dip

I think of it like this at a very high level:

EPA is a more of measure of total output, QBR is a more of measure of efficiency and situational production.

An okay analogy would be comparing Points Per Game and PER (Player Efficiency Rating) and in basketball.

A guy might lead the league by averaging 30 points per game, but also play 38 minutes a night and take 22 shots on 45% shooting.

Another guy might only average 19 points a game, but do it in 24 minutes and 13 shots, making 60% of them.

I did not think EPA was an "aggregate" statistic, I thought it was per play and more of an effciency stat "Effective points added".

If that's the case, then it makes more sense. Either way, Dak won't be #1 to end this season. I looked up the 2021 EPA rankings by PFF, not their grade but their EPA calculations - Dak was 9th that year. Jimmy G was 6th.

Rodgers, Mahomes, Stafford, Brady, Herbert - were top 5.

You shouldn't.

It was 2 years ago in October that someone around here said "It's Tua's to lose!"

Sucks for Tyreek. Obviously has his issues, but was an integral part of the Chiefs for Mahomes era, and will be one of the guys from that era to make the HOF.


If you want to go have a good time, go back to some of the takes on this thread when the Chiefs traded Tyreek a few Super Bowl wins ago:

https://www.blowoutforums.com/showth...6928&page=1087


Looking back, I'd say most of the comments we're somewhat optimistic about what the Chiefs would look like without Tyreek and with the picks, but here are a few highlights. Others: Not so much...

As has already been pointed out in this thread, only once in the salary cap era has a QB won a Super Bowl taking up more than 13% of the cap number. Hill is absolutely a cap casualty. Let's see how it works out for KC this year.

He's a very important guy, but just one, nonetheless. Teams win games, not popular quarterbacks.

It’s seems like the whole knee essentially exploded within. How does the rest of his career look and is he definitely a hall of famer at this point?
