Player Passing Yards Per Attempt Statistics: 2015 NFL Season
Kirk completes a lot of short passes. It is how Gruden's scheme is designed. There were several deep shots designed for yesterday's game. Except for the one shot to Desean and the one to Roberts, I don't recall any other deep shots taken by him despite the several designed 7 step drops. Maybe the shot wasn't there and it was a good check down. Maybe he just doesn't pull the trigger. Dunno. Would love to see the All-22.
AGAIN - Still best option. Still likely best option for next year.
Not a hater, just not one of Kaptain Kirk's Kool-Aid Klub (yet). |
Yep, and with Djax in the lineup. Kirk is averaging 8.9 YPA. The best in the NFL.
It's a team game, like I said. You also can compare his Pass Per Attempt, which is better then Rogers, Rivers, Brady, Both Mannings.
So..... Yea
