What would it takes for you to be a proud JP fan, and feel strongly that we are in good shape at QB at the end of this year? This assumes a FULL year of starting, and NO prolonged (more than one game) injury.
For me:
At a minimum, over 16 games, 417 attempts, 250 completions, an average of 60% completions, 3200 yards, 200 yards per game, 16 TD's, less than 10 INT's, if I did it right, thats a passers rating of: 86.8 according to
Now, the intangibles would be, obvious increase in pocket presence and decision making. Im NOT including these in the goal metric because, I might see it different than someone else.
As far as the stats go, its possible to be higher in some categories and lower in others, how do we evaluate whether JP is what we need then? Well, Im still a fan of the passers rating. It only gets screwed up when the player didnt play all 16 games. If they play all of them, I think it should be the FINAL metric. If he plays all 16 and is 86.8 or better, I consider it a success.
That puts him about the same as Jake Plummers numbers for last year. Although Plummer has a slightly higher rating of 90.2. its about an average year. If anything, 3200 yards is a bit of a tough goal, as is 200 yards per. 200 per means some games with 300, some with 100. But I think its a challenge that a guy with a long ball, and a great young WR like Evans should be able to do.
Put your money where your mouths are, give me your goal stats for JP for this year. If reaches or exceeds them, will you stand firmly behind him next year?
