FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Adjusted Interceptions 2015


Some interesting numbers to consider in this article. Surprised to see Mar Sanchez be the "luckiest" QB. Palmer is another.

And if cornerbacks didn't have stone hands, they would be wide receivers.

Mark Sanchez, you say?

Football outsiders has too much time on their hamds, they put together a meaningless chart to drum up hits and they hooked a chief.

Why does analysis bother some people?

I mean, it's July and here we are talking about football every day. Of course someone is going to look deeper and deeper in to the game, there is a demand for it.

Mark Sanchez at the top of any list (whether positive or negative) instantly voids the article.

Because it involves math. Here's how you get this thread kickin'. Russell Wilson sucks and my team's quarterback is perfect in every way.

This doesn't have anything to do with Romo being 2nd on the list (only behind Sanchez), does it???

Nope, it's because it's assumed all ints are caught. Where's the stats showing all receivers never drop a pass.

Did they only do that with Romo or were they consistent across the board?

Am I imagining where they point out the 79% figure of expected INT's being actualized?

I'm guessing you didn't bother reading the article.

That's still a high number, considering WE usually have better hands and 65% is a very good rate.
