For comparison, the ball traveled further on 27 receptions for Rex Burkhead than it did for Aaron Jones on 49 receptions. You can call a throw 5 yards over a player's head a target all you want. Doesn't mean anything if it was a glorified throwaway. Not my comment. Take it up with Fennell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t go to work and tell my boss, “**** you,” and then say, “Not my comment,” without facing the repercussions of and expecting a discussion on what I said. You don’t have to agree with it in order to say it, and I appreciate you posting Twitter things because I’m not on Twitter, but... If you post It it’s your comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 You're wrong. Sorry. It was posted for information purposes. You contest the comment - take it up with Fennel. Prove him wrong if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean anything if it was a glorified throwaway. It is not meaningless, your argument has no context. RB YBC is typically offset by screen passes and more targets doesn't necessarily mean you will add to the total. Aaron Jones is 10th in the league in YBC among RBs/FBs. If he didn't drop that pass against Philly he would be 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that for context? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just now, TheBitzMan said: Christian McCaffrey had 116 receptions and had -14 yards YBC. Yes, granted. His YBC shows only that he was not some deep threat as Fennell's comment suggested. The ball didn't travel all that long. He wasn't consistently being targeted with catchable balls deep at some crazy rate. The difference between McCaffrey and Jones is that Carolina's entire offense was McCaffrey making yards receiving/rushing. So essentially, you're right that that specific stat is not indicative of Jones not being legit, just that those deep targets Rodgers threw to him were not all that catchable. More appropriate is Aaron's catch percentage versus targets. It shows clearly that his targets were not legitimate targets. Jones was 82nd in the league on catch percentage (receptions divided by targets). 40th in the league among players with a minimum of 20 catches. If that's not irrefutable proof that Rodgers was not throwing him catchable balls I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
