    Do you believe this dude? Well, who knows, For the CJ is a bum crowd, this is all BS. For the wait and see, will just have to wait and see.

    I trust the playoff experience will make him better. It's weird but going thru the fire refines and I think that this will be a true breakout year for him. Better than his rookie year. Book it. And add that to the defense, Look out.

    They used motion a whole lot more in Caley's offense than they did with Slowik's?

    I have zero clue what ANY/A is. Average Nomething Yards per Attempt?

    per Google AI....

    ANY/A stands for Adjusted Net Yards Per Attempt. It is an advanced football statistic that evaluates quarterback performance. Analysts consider it the single best metric for measuring a quarterback's passing efficiency and success. [1, 2, 3, 4]
    The Formula
    Standard statistics just count passing yards and divide them by attempts. ANY/A takes that idea and adjusts it by penalizing negative plays and rewarding big scoring plays. [1]
    The formula is:
    \(\text{ANY/A}=\frac{\text{Pass\ Yards}-\text{Sack\ Yards}+(20\times \text{Pass\ TDs})-(45\times \text{INTs})}{\text{Pass\ Attempts}+\text{Sacks}}\)
    How It Works
    The statistic adjusts standard passing yards by factoring in four key elements:
    • Subtracts Sacks: Yardage lost on sacks is subtracted from total passing yards.
    • Rewards Touchdowns: A quarterback gets a 20-yard bonus for every passing touchdown.
    • Penalizes Interceptions: A quarterback loses 45 yards for every interception.
    • Includes Sacks in Attempts: Total pass attempts include times the quarterback was sacked, which naturally lowers their yards-per-attempt average. [1]
    Why It Matters
    ANY/A has the highest mathematical correlation to team wins of any individual passing stat. If a team has a higher cumulative ANY/A than their opponent on game day, they usually win. [1, 2, 3]
    To quickly evaluate a player's score:
    • Below 6.0: Below average
    • 6.0 to 7.0: NFL average
    • 7.5 or higher: Pro Bowl / All-Pro level
    • 8.0+: MVP caliber [1, 2]

    It means CJ was much better when using motion.

    What does this mean? He plays better when the offense motions so, so, the defense needs to show its hand? I don't know if that is the case, but I believe that sort of, you know, show that maybe, just maybe, this dump kid, otherwise known as the chocker, fumbler bumbler, the int man, maybe can read a defense and can exploit one. Not as much a blockhead as some imagines here.

    Devil's advocate would say why couldn't he do this without motion, like all the all-pros out there? Now, you wouldn't confuse CJ with All Pros, now, will you?

    Regardless the reason, wouldn't you think more motion should be the way forward for this offense?

    What?
    None of what you said makes sense or remotely coherent.

    CJ being better with motion is good, but we also don’t know the baselines for either.
    Bad to average, average to good?

    Motion is used to get players open, making it easier to read. Yes, we should do it more considering CJs flaws

    Sorry for being incoherent.

    Bottomline, Texan are stuck with CJ this year, regardless of how good or bad he is. If motion helps, then help the guy out. Make it easier for him to get this done. I think he will surprise a few people, in a good way. This defense plus a serviceable CJ with improved OL and running game, should equate to something...

    After watching several analysis of recent QB draftees, is it possible that the traditional Sophomore Slump is becoming a Junior Slump for QBs? I really don't have access to the numbers, but is this totally baseless based on a few outliers or is a trend indicated?
