Carolina making a HC switch during Bryce Young's already sub par 1at year is definitely going to make watching his development that much interesting.

Also The chargers are cursed to have a above average QB but always find a way to lose games

Justin Herbert simply isn't good enough smh

[–] Mace_Windex11@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He doesn't even have 30 epa on losses. What a scrub

[–] ThaMuffinMan92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They should do Levis in these kinds of things for the tits. Tannehill isn’t the future for us.

This should really be scaled in some way. EPA per play in losses, or average EPA per loss or something. This skews the data heavily against QBs whose teams have lost a lot. Granted, Mac Jones is terrible regardless, but the perspective is screwed up by using total EPA in losses.

[–] IWasRightOnce@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well yes, but also no.

A QB can play good (or at least produce a positive EPA) and their team can still lose.

So while losing more games will make a QBs sample size larger, that doesn’t automatically mean he will be lower on this chart.

Obviously these are extreme examples, but NE only has two more losses than LAC.

Top couple names aren't surprising, but the tier right below them has a few interesting ones

[–] triplec787@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That middle section is the one that’s wild to me. Goff, Russ (less surprising), Mahomes, Tua, Lamar, and Burrow are all downright bad in losses. Goes to show how much impact they have on the roster as a whole.

[–] notmyplantaccount@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The ones with only 3 losses don't have much of a sample size for this chart so one bad game will skew it. Mahomes almost certainly all comes from the Broncos game, which was his worst EPA ever in a start.

[–] LeonidasSpacemanMD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if it’s partially because (for example) a guy like Mahomes will frequently find a way to scratch out wins even if he doesn’t play great for part of the game, and so if they lose it is sometimes because he made some huge uncharacteristic mistakes or whatever

Like herbert and Allen are good QBs who just keep losing in all kinds of situations this year, good play or not. It kinda takes and particularly subpar performance for Mahomes or tua to lose the way those teams have been playing

[–] MrThreebound@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol imagine having your QB qualify for this graph.

[–] FiTZnMiCK@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone’s looking for Hurts.

I want to see Danny Jones.

Baker doing enough to not be the problem is exactly what I expected when they signed him.

[–] ChargeWithThunder@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But I thought the losses were on Herbert and not the rest of the team?

[–] ElectricalBank6411@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Top 2 guys sound on brand, disgrace they haven’t had more team success due to everything else being garbo

[–] IdyllicGod22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Stroud and Love as the best QBs per play when losing is incredibly interesting. And people say Love can’t play, smh.

[–] mbrancato157@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I already knew who would be on top before I opened this. THANKS SEAN

[–] dellscreenshot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah Purdy has been pretty good in losses outside of the cleveland game. And even then they had a chance to win.

[–] belizeanheat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's been rock solid basically at all times when he hasn't been actively concussed

[–] Venator850@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn Bryce in very bad company lol.

[–] thepomadeguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clearly Justin Herbert and Josh Allen truly suck and need to do more to help their teams win.

[–] J_House1999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mac is elite goddam. No one does it like him.

[–] BulLock_954@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

MAAAAAC JOOOOOONE

[–] ghostofwalsh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know why you'd just be looking at losses? Seems like QB EPA in wins is also kind of important as far as deciding if the QB is doing well.

Also, someone like Hurts only has one loss so wouldn't that be a pretty small sample size?

[–] CodyNorthrup@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dang, i was thinking “where is Hurts” but I guess 1 game is too small of a sample size.

[–] LuthorM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just saw this morning SNF and thought Chargers and Bucs are pretty similar teams. Not saying Baker and Herbert are the same but issues with both teams are quite similar, even their records are identical.

[–] Phenomenal2313@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Of course it’s Allen and Herbert

Both QB’s let down by just awful coaching

[–] DuckDuckGoodra@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm dead inside.
