Messing around a bit with QB prospect data. A look at notable names (current pros and 2026 prospects) who had in their college careers both:
* Pressure to sack ≥ 20%
* Negative play rate ≥ 10%
(min. 300 career dropbacks)
Interesting that Lamar is literally the only good QB here.
* Pressure to sack ≥ 20%
* Negative play rate ≥ 10%

This probably doesn't mean anything to those casting MVP votes, but I thought it was interesting. Among QBs with at least 20 dropbacks in any game this season, Drake Maye has three games ranked in the top-15 in EPA/dropback. Only Darnold and Goff have more than one game in top-15 EPA

"Your honor, my No. 94 jersey was actually stolen pre-game. That is not me. As proof, look at how our defense was getting gouged before this incident."

Cam Ward since Week 5:
On play action:
* -0.20 EPA/play
* 38.1 percent success rate
No play action:
* -0.12 EPA/play
* 42.4 percent success rate
Somebody pass this along to Mike McCoy.

Checking in on QB negative play rate through Week 10, and it's another bad one for J.J. McCarthy.
Negative play rate is a stat I've began tracking a few years ago. It's sacks+interceptions+fumbles lost ÷ dropbacks.

The Steelers have lost three of their last four and Aaron Rodgers has been brutal over that stretch. Among QBs with ≥ 80 dropbacks since Week 7, Rodgers has a success rate and the second-lowest ADOT on completed passes (3.9) ahead of only Dillon Gabriel (3.7) and Geno Smith (2.7).

J.J. McCarthy is much better than a lot of his peers at throwing an accurate ball when pressured. KOC should consider telling the OL to block less. This is analytics!

My bad. Here's the highest uncatchable pass rates by QBs when not facing pressure (min. 70 dropbacks -- to fit McCarthy's four games in the group):
1. J.J. McCarthy - 30.6%
2. Dillon Gabriel - 30.2%
3. Cam Ward - 28.0%
4. Michael Penix - 27.0%
5. Carson Wentz - 26.3%

QBs from 2021-2024 with:
* min. 150 dropbacks
* Uncatchable pass rate ≥ 33.0%
Still Time for J.J. McCarthy (and Michael Penix, I suppose) to correct course, but the company they are keeping is almost all awful.

A little stat I just whipped up for the folks.
Uncatchable pass rate among QBs (min. 50 dropbacks)
Uncatchable passes ÷ total pass attempts
1. Michael Penix - 36.2 percent
2. J.J. McCarthy - 36.1 percent
3. Davis Mills - 35.4 percent

The handling of the 2025 Commanders backfield is a strike against Adam Peters.
Croskey-Merritt hasn’t proven to be anything special.
McNichols didn’t log an offensive touch in 2022 or 2023. Journeyman. 29.
Rodriguez was cut in 2024 and brought back to PS. Was a PS back to start this year.
