57% 3rd down conversion rate...

[Yasgur's Farm]

That's what JP did against Indy when he was allowed to drop back on 3rd down...

Ist quarter...
3rd and 5... JP pass for 8 yards and a 1st down.
3rd and 4... JP pass for 6 yards and a 1st down.
3rd and 13... JP pass for 24 yards and a 1st down.

Follwed by 3 straight run plays and a FG.

2nd quarter...
No 3rd down pass attempts

3rd quarter...
3rd and 10... Incomplete
3rd and 1... Incomplete


4th quarter...
3rd and 6... JP pass for 24 yards and a 1st down.
3rd and 5... sack.

7 times JP dropped back to pass on 3rd down... 4 times he converted... That's a 57% conversion rate. Take away the attempt where he was sacked and we're looking at 67% conversion rate.

TAKE THE HANDCUFFS OFF THE KID!!!

Percentages are useless when there are so few attempts.

Look at "the kid" over the season and you'll see how lousy he is on 3rd downs.

I would suggest that you do that exact same research... Your argument won't hold water.

Guess what, sales at my company are up 100% from yesterday!!! Great, right? No. Yesterday we had one sale. Today we had 2. We should get 1,000 sales a day.

See how percentages can be deceiving?

Well he does pout on the bench like a little baby, so maybe it's appropriate!

So... show the percentages for the year? Or are you just willing to make accusations without backing them?

Show JPs 3rd down percentages.

My point was to put things in perspective.

Take away the incompletions along with the sack and he's at 100%. Tremendous.

tThat's an ignorant statement...

I didn't omit any 3rd down pass attempts.

7 total attempts 4 1st downs... Simple as that.

TAKE THE HANDCUFFS OFF THE KID!!!

I am going to agree with you, on your last sentence.

I say take the handcuffs off him too.

Let him throw 30-35 times per game for the rest of the season.. Personally, I think its a 2-3 turnover train wreck waiting to happen all the time.. BUT, it will be one less EXCUSE once it happens to keep this clown past this year.

Re: 57% 3rd down conversion rate...

For the record, Losman hasnt thrown a TD on third down this year, and he's been picked four times.. and coming into the Indy game, his 3rd down % was 25.7

Way to bring facts to the table... BillsFanOne could use a lesson from you.

So he showed improvement.
