Hmmm

Mmhmm

Adjusted Quarterback Efficiency (AQE) through Week 15 @Unexpected_Pts

Brock Purdy has enough dropbacks to hit the minimum and he's at the top.

Only bad one is he'd also lead the league in INT's with 16 😬

A 28:16 TD to INT ratio isnt great. I will be the first to admit this. But is also isnt thaaaat bad. I also dont think that throwing interceptions is the worst thing that a QB can do like a lot of people here were led to believe. When Alex Smith had a 18:5 TD to INT ratio, people on this board were raving about how good he played because he wasnt turning the ball over. I always said that I would have been fine with triple the INTs if it meant double the TDs (in that specific case). I also believe NOT throwing interceptions isnt a difficult thing to do for any QB, they just have to value safety over everything else.

Not throwing INTs is not something I value if it comes at the expense of having a high producing offense. I hate to use this example (because EFF the Rams), but does anyone think Rams fans were upset that Stafford led the NFL with 17 interceptions in 2021? Of course not. Why? Because he also threw 41 touchdown passes and had nearly 5k passing yards.

If our QB is going to average 1 INT a game, I would like to see his TD passes in the 30s. But bottom line is, I dont want Brock limiting the picks if it comes at the expense of production.

2-1 ratio is widely considered pretty good, and that is almost there.

Glad you liked that. I had to throw that in. Its not hard to not throw interceptions if you arent trying to move the ball downfield.

Exactly.

K.

The number of INTs doesn't matter nearly as much as when and where on the field they occur. If they happen in the 4th quarter in the red zone when your team is getting ready to score or deep in your own territory it's obviously worse than throwing one on the first quarter near midfield.

INTs can have a big effect on the outcome or none at all so just looking at the numbers doesn't tell the whole story. This is one more reason why I don't like just reciting stats. INTs can be bad throws, poor reads, a receiver running the wrong route or falling down, a tipped pass, a ball that bounces off the receiver's hands or just a great play by a defender. The raw numbers don't give you that info.

The interceptions this year are largely a result of the toe injury and his recovery from it. He has zero interceptions in prime toe conditions.

Delusional post of the day! BP skills aren't even in the same universe. Burrow was a consensus #1 pick for a reason.

Try telling that to all of the people who were in here s**ting bricks when Brock had three -- in a game they won. I don't care what people say in between game days when they're trying to act all chill about it because I'm pretty sure if he throws two picks on Monday night, and they still win, the picks are the only thing certain people are going to want to talk about and it will start a whole new round of posts about how Brock isn't worth what they paid him, and we should be starting Mac Jones because Brock is too much of a gunslinger.

I'm not saying I don't care about picks. Like many others in here, I found it a bit distressing that he seemed to have hit a patch where he was throwing a lot, but in the last two games he's been protecting the ball much better and putting up points. Let's hope that's a trend that will continue. Go Niners!

Bottom Line is that Turn Overs Are not Acceptable!!Regardless if its from the Qb , WR or the Special Teams

But they're an inevitable part of the game, so what are you going to do. The trick is to do the best you can to minimize them. Unfortunately, there are some fans who never forget and seem to take it as some kind of personal affront. Preston Riley, Roger Craig, Kyle Williams -- who had two, Jaquiski Tartt for missing one, Jimmy G. for missing Sanders, and probably a few more that I've forgotten. It's just football.

Actually dont know who Preston Riley is. Do remember Craigs Fumble and Kyle Williams there in NFCCG . Im just one of those Fans that dont like Turnovers. Thats it. With how the 49ers D Is so Patched worked and hanging by a string. Yes Turn Overs are very critical at any point of the Game

What a great dad.
