this is idiotic.  I saw the Hudson Card experience.  In person.  It was top-10 in NOTHING.  Except suckery.  And this is coming from a person who wants HC to succeed.  At no point during that game (or the game against UND) did I believe Card was going to bail out the Boilers.  Quite the opposite, in fact...

Think about the difference in how those numbers are derived.  

One is based on the stat sheet.  The other is more or less what you’re in position to accomplish given your surroundings.  Throw a catchable but dropped pass.  Negative for QBR, potentially a positive for PFF.  Your Oline blocks no one so the QB throws it away.  Negative on the QBR.  I’m not sure if it’s a positive for PFF but it’s not a negative.

A good example would be the TD to Moore before the half.  Think of how each would turn out if Moore drops it.


 

 

Just as an add on to that, I went and checked on Purdues pass blocking grades.  Last week the overall pass blocking was 57.  They had 3 lineman graded below 50 overall.  Versus Notre Dame it was 33.

I look casually at those numbers.  I don’t recall seeing anything that low versus Notre Dame.  And I don’t recall seeing 3 Olinemen sub 50 in the same game.  Even sub-50 is not overly common.

Purdue's pass blocking has been pretty horrible, no doubt.  That said, neither Card nor OC Graham Harrell have done much to help.  Card holds the ball too long.  Plays take too long to develop.  Card tries to spin out of a collapsing pocket and (most of the time) gets sacked.

I am not sure how the PFF pass blocking grades are calculated, but I suspect they look a little better if the QB gets rid of the ball in 1-2 seconds.  If they QB gets the ball out that quick, there really is limited possible breakdown in OL pass blocking.

You are fortunate that you only had to look at the stats after the fact.  I got to see them in the making for both UND and Nebraka @ Purdue.  The weather was great, though!

I saw just a bit of ND.  Purdue is not very good to say the least. The numbers say the defense is porous too.

Generally speaking on PFF , QBs and RBs seem to score higher than other positions.  I would assume that’s because they aren’t really one on one like most other positions.

The variance between PFF grade and QBR is interesting.  For stat geeks, it’d be interesting to see gap comparisons.  Pff has good stuff to drill down into, particularly for QBs.

Without having watched much of Purdue, they use play action in a pretty limited fashion, at least based on that data.  Is that intentional or do they fall behind so quickly that opponents don’t respect the run and play action is useless?  Riley, Sark are pretty heavy play action.  Ole Miss too.  I do think that makes it easier on QBs and really the Oline.

Came here to post that video. 

Liked that he broke down my favorite and somewhat overlooked Arch play in that game, the step up in the pocket and absolute dart to Cook. Should have been a long TD if Cook doesn't have that little stumble after the catch.

Great vid. Second throw arguably better than the first. As he said, most guys are going to respond to that pressure by throwing it where they are already looking. Manning comes off of it quickly and throws the rope to the far sideline.

  • 3 weeks later...

ed reed on the manningcast just now: “some people are just born to play football, like you two. same goes for your nephew over at Texas.”

  • 3 weeks later...

he had a play on either his first or second drive, on a 3rd down, where he showed exactly why so many people, myself included, are 100% convinced that he’s not only going to be better than quinn, but that he might already be better right now if given the same opportunity this year as QE.

y’all know the one i’m talking about- he stands tall in the pocket despite the rush, scans the field, slides forward with his eyes downfield, considers running for it, and then drops an inch-perfect pass to wisner down the sideline. that one play right there is something we haven’t seen from quinn since week 2, and have never/will never see consistently from QE. you add the fact that Arch is taller, stronger, faster, throws a much. water deep ball, and is not afraid of getting hit- yeah; we are wildly lucky that he’s so chill about being the backup.

He had 6 more passing yards than Quinn in the first quarter without even attempting a pass. He’s clearly a wizard. 

Arch has tasted this so called rivalry he looked pissed that they are even calling it one. The dude is waiting for his chance  to carve up the rest of the SEC.

I’m pretty excited to see how that offense flows with him as QB1. It’s what Sark’s system needs - a QB who can run but hit deep shots.

Looking forward to lots of Arch to Wingo next year.
