TerryBoats Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/receiving#yards Just sort by separation. Also consider that there were many incomplete passes while Davis was targeted. So there were a lot of yards left on the field since he was obviously open during many of them.

big2033 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) This is why I've been saying hold off on this "more wideouts!" talk. Nothing wrong with adding players for depth but it's not the biggest issue on our offense. It's probably 3rd or 4th.

CaliTitan3518 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 In today’s NFL if you have a good QB any wr can get open enough to make a catch. woolfolksunclesuncle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 another interesting thing is how it’s higher across the board from last year. Crazy what good play design can do. Number9, and Callidus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) T. Taylor had an average separation of 3.2 yds. JJ Schuster had an average of 3.0 yds. That's a difference of about 7 inches. The differences up and down the chart are miniscule. Edited January 6, 2019 by ctm TitanDuckFan, and CreepingDeath 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ben makes it happen without a ton of separation. Edited January 6, 2019 by big2033 Number9, woolfolksunclesuncle, and Tyler Rose Fan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Titans279 Posted January 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) BTW last year Davis was 2.7 while Matthews, Taylor, and Decker were 2.6. This year Taylor is 3.2, Davis is 3.1, and Sharpe is 3.0. Nice improvement. I think this issue is a little more complicated... They actually have an aggressiveness QB stat that measures what you're talking about. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#aggressiveness Aggressiveness (AGG%) Aggressiveness tracks the amount of passing attempts a quarterback makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. AGG is shown as a % of attempts into tight windows over all passing attempts. Mariota (12.7%) is actually right next to Mahomes (12.2%) near the very bottom! Make sense since some of it is a function of the offenses QBs are in. How open are the targets the guy is throwing to? Lots of PA or well schemed throws means the guys are often more open than average. Also just the skill to find the open man. Interestingly, Mariota was 20% in 2016 but dropped to 14.6% in 2017 and to 12.7% this year. However! More aggressive is not always better good! The top guys in order were Rosen (21.6%), Driskel, Fitzpatrick, Winston, Darnold, Manning, Luck... Other than Luck (who was 18.2%) most of those guys were not reading the defenses correctly and throwing to guys they probably shouldn't have more often. BTW Brady was 13.9%, Rodgers 13.7% so really most of the top QBs are not actually attempting THAT many contested throws!

Is the QB the difference? Well, JJ Schuster had 1,400 yards with the same separation you tell me? O. Beckham gets yards after the catch. We're talking about just getting open enough to get the ball.
