Confession of a Dalton Defender

QB1- 330/35 (9.4) x .25= 2.35
QB2- 250/18 (13.9) x .25= 3.48

That's a difference of 1.1 pts when the difference in seasonal averages is in hundredths of points. Using one game does not support your argument as no QB is going to average 13 yards per pass for a season with zero interceptions.

Thanks for agreeing with me that WCO is effected negatively with passer rating. Unless you think a lot of short to intermediate throws will lead to big YPA. In 2013 there were only 3 QBs that had more attempts than Dalton and still had a higher rating, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Matt Ryan (who only had .8 passer rating higher than him). That year he averaged ~37 attempts per game, and other QBs like Newton (29), Kaepernick (26), and Wilson (25).
