I'll save us all the click and tell you he wants us to know it's Tua.Anteaters wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2023 9:44 am https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rank ... acks-list/
NFL's Top 10 CLUTCH Quarterbacks
A statistical analysis of who are the current most clutch QBs in the league.
No surprise that number 1 is Mahomes.
The big surprise (surprise to most people) comes with who is number 2. I wonder if the fantasy world is paying attention?
I honestly think that's more of a Mike McDaniel stat than you'd want to believe.
So long as we're having fun with Tua stats:
Video number one of how the Chargers/Staley started solving Tua by closing down the middle of the field. They are outright disrespecting his ability to throw outside the numbers, because they don't think he can do it.The Dolphins faced aggressive defenses from Week 12 on, taking away Tua's favorite deep/middle throws.
From that point on, he was 31st in EPA per play out of 33 QBs. He was 1st before that.
Video number two of Mike McD dialling up a perfect answer to the new defense in the same game... and... and......
I've never seen a defense "solve" Mahomes. We've outright seen multiple defenses solve Tua - just last year, in fact. Let's not be disrespectful and try and equivocate them, no matter how sexy the stat. (Clutch?! C'monnnnnn...)
Mike McD will have been in the lab, no doubt he'll have coached Tua on his need to beat teams by throwing outside the numbers. But he's going to need to show it to us still, because to this point: he ended the year on a pretty troubling streak of play... y'know...
... for those in the fantasy world paying attention.
