Just a quick note, I was planning to do this anyways for each of the games. If this goes well I will expand this over to RBs when the regular season hits since the preseason doesn't see enough action. Most of these stats you should be able to understand. The only one people might not recognize is Standard Deviation.

Standard deviation is a measure of the average spread of the data (in this case the yards gained by each individual play) from the average. So a small spread indicates that the yards gained on the play were very close to the average. For instance if the QB threw gains of 9, 10, 11, 10, and 12 the deviation would be rather small since all those values are close to the average of 10.4. Why is this important? This tells you the kind of throws the QB was making. If a QB was making a lot of short throws the deviation is going to be smaller, while if the throws varried from small to large then it would tell you he either was going deep along with short balls or he lost a lot of yardage. Though I keep the stat of negative gains to determine what the Standard Deviation is saying.

Legend



Comp/At <- Completed Passes/Attempts
Comp % <- Percent of passes completed
Yards <- Total Yards
TD/Int <- Touchdowns to Interceptions
Rating <- Passer rating
Neg <- Number of Negative gains

Avg/A <- Average yardage per attempt
Std/A <- Standard Deviation for attempts(Consistency)
Avg/C <- Average yards per completion
Std/C <- Standard deviation for completion
Kyle Orton



Comp/At = 9/16
Comp % = 56.3%
Yards = 86
TD/Int = 0/3
Rating = 32.6
Neg = 0

Avg/A = 5.38 Yards
Std/A = +/- 6.21
Avg/C = 10.8 Yards
Std/C = +/- 4.06


Chris Simms




Comp/At = 11/17
Comp % = 64.7%
Yards = 142
TD/Int = 2/0
Rating = 130.02
Neg = 0

Avg/A = 8.35 Yards
Std/A = +/- 13.7
Avg/C = 12.9 Yards
Std/C = +/- 15.32


When we get more playing time I will start to expand these stats over to WRs and RBs.

Isn't mid to high 50's his passing percentage as well? Too tired to go look it up, but that seems like what I remember.

well... he averages 5.8 yrds per completion (not the 5.38 that I thought) and his completion percentage is 55.3% for his NFL career.

I know it's early, but not so sure about Orton. He seems like he can manage the offense, but he's at a point where 1 mistake will kill him, and he will make that mistake.


I do however, LOVE McDaniels offense. The system works, IMHO. Coach up Orton not to make that one mistake, or find a QB that won't make that one mistake, and I really like what I see.

The intermiediate and long routes work with the success of the short routes, I think that will come with time.

I think the best gauge will come somewhere in the middel of the year and we can see the progress of Orton. McDaniels will have a big play in that with his coaching ability, and working with Orton to not make those mistakes.

I think the most important aspect right now is seeing if McDaniels can work with the weaknesses and take them away.

I dont think Orton completed a pass that was in the air farther then 10 yards.

the dude doesnt even try looking at his down field targets.

I think it's time to do what the 49ers did last night and give both Orton and Simms snaps with the first team in the preseason. If Simms can repeat that level of play, say, against the Bears defense, we might need to seriously consider the change.
