Title: ESPN.com - Sanchez-Fitzpatrick-Tannehill Watch Post by: CF DolFan on November 20, 2012, 10:29:40 am I don't know if this has gone on all season but it must have since there is a total score for each QB. Overall ratings are tight in this race with 1. Sanchez (23 points) 2. Tannehill (21 points) 3. Fitzpatrick (20 points) . As I saw in one of the comments it's basically a race for mediocrity at this point.
Quote Sanchez-Fitzpatrick-Tannehill Watch By James Walker | ESPN.com http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/51076/sanchez-fitzpatrick-tannehill-watch-10 The race to become the No. 2 quarterback in the AFC East is heating up. Let’s check out the latest edition of the “Sanchez-Fitzpatrick-Tannehill Watch.” Mark Sanchez, New York Jets Result: W, 27-13 against Rams Stats: 15-of-20, 178 yards, one TD QBR: 84.0 Analysis: This is the Mark Sanchez the Jets want and expect. He was efficient and much more accurate than he’s been most of this season. Sanchez made smart decisions and kept the Jets ahead. Sanchez didn’t do anything spectacular to win the game. But he didn’t lose it by turning over the football, either. That’s key for him. Grade: B Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills Result: W, 19-14 against Miami Stats: 17-of-27, 168 yards QBR: 62.5 Analysis: Fitzpatrick had a similar game to Sanchez. He didn’t do anything spectacular, but Fitzpatrick didn’t lose it for Buffalo, which he is prone to do. Fitzpatrick didn’t take any crazy chances and utilized a short passing game to beat Miami. He also made some plays with his feet to get first downs and keep the offense on the field for a winning performance. Grade: B- Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins Result: L, 19-14 against Buffalo Stats: 14-of-28, 141 yards, one TD, two INTs QBR: 36.5 Analysis: Tannehill laid his second egg in a row, which makes you wonder if he’s finally hitting the rookie wall. This is Tannehill’s first 16-game season as a pro. He’s only had 19 career starts in college and that regular season is about to wrap up. Tannehill’s accuracy was off in this game until late. Granted, pass protection has been an issue. But Tannehill has not played well the past two weeks. He’s thrown five interceptions in the past two games. Miami can’t win with that kind of production from the quarterback position. Grade: D This week’s winner: Sanchez (three points) Second place: Fitzpatrick (two points) Third place: Tannehill (one point) Overall standings 1. Sanchez (23 points) 2. Tannehill (21 points) 3. Fitzpatrick (20 points) We are entering the home stretch and this race couldn’t be tighter. Check for next week’s "Sanchez-Fitzpatrick-Tannehill Watch" to see who takes control of the No. 2 quarterback slot in the division.

I would still take Tannehill over the other 2 for many reasons, the biggest being he is a rookie. The second biggest he doesn't command huge money(great signing, Buffalo) and the third is that he isn't Mark Sanchez.

Quote Let us compare the compiled order of finish using both the QBR statistic listed on every one of these posts, and where the SFT Watch placed them: Fitzpatrick: QBR- 4 firsts, 5 seconds, 1 third Actual SFT rank- 2 firsts, 6 seconds, 2 thirds Sanchez: QBR- 3 firsts, 2 seconds, 5 thirds Actual SFT rank- 5 firsts (1 tie), 3 seconds, 2 thirds Tannehill: QBR- 4 firsts, 4 seconds, 2 thirds Actual SFT rank- 5 firsts (1 tie), 1 second, 4 thirds James, the score of this competition should be Fitz 23, Tanny 22, Sanchez 18. Your continual upward skewing of Sanchez (consistently rating him above another QB that objectively played better) is making this competition pointless. Why even bother including Total QBR (a stat that purportedly measures *all aspects* of a QB's contribution) if you're going to completely ignore it? |
