I was reading rumors about this a few hours ago. Apparently the party that these two we're at was shot up by gang bangers...

Don't forget to remove Defensive/ST scores from your calculations. Looks like you included yesterday's pick-6 in the 2015 calculation above.

But overall I like the idea. I agree with above posters that we should also track so other stuff:

  • 3rd down efficiency
  • Redzone efficiency
  • Yards/Play
  • Plays/game (or minute?)
  • Sacks given up
  • Turnovers
  • % of plays we run
  • % of plays we pass

Edit: sounds like I need to read better

Agreed, it's way too early to know what we have this season. But I think comparative trends will begin to emerge well before the end of the season. That's one reason I thought this weekly comparison would be fun to do, because we can benchmark against where we were at the exact same point last season instead of drawing broad, sweeping comparisons come December.

Also., if we see offensive improvement with our backup QB, I would see that as arguing in favor of Lefty's scheme as opposed to one player making the offense go, a la Tyrod circa 2009-2010.

The thing about TOP is, I think it's an increasingly meaningless stat. When every team ran every down, you could draw strong conclusions from TOP. With so many pass-first offenses, the stat had lost significant value.

Yards and plays per drive, I'm a straight up idiot for not including those. Will do moving forward.

For sure. Motley didn't just do okay managing the game and not screwing up, he made some impressive big-boy throws. Now the next step is doing that consistently and under pressure, but I like where he is right now.
