Like Hurts, Newton didn’t lead the league in EPA/play he ranked sixth behind exclusively pocket passers with better numbers through the air. Newton had more than double the number of throws deemed “big-time” by PFF, but also had twice as many turnover-worthy plays. CPOE wasn’t recorded in 2015, but Hurts outdid Newton in EPA/play and is on pace to surpass him in total EPA as well. Hurts has sizable advantages in total yardage and completion percentage as well.Īdvanced stats favor Hurts even further. Newton’s total touchdowns (45) edge out Hurts’ projected 42 with an extra game, but Hurts’ turnover differential will once again be superior. The Hurts-Newton comparison is the most favorable for Hurts both statistically and narrative-wise. Hurts’ running style and approach are more similar to Newton’s than Jackson’s and the numbers bear this out. How Hurts Compares With Cam Newton in 2015 Most notably, Patrick Mahomes leads the NFL with 0.27 EPA/play this season. Jackson led the league in the metric during his MVP season, while Hurts ranks fifth. Jackson’s 0.30 EPA/play is in line with several recent MVP winners, while Hurts’ 0.17 is slightly behind. The biggest difference between the two might be EPA, which heavily favors Jackson. Team success is similar between the two (Jackson went 13-2 as a starter) and the significant leap as a passer is comparable between the two as well. He has already surpassed Jackson’s passing yardage total for the season and is on pace to have 5,000 total yards. Hurts has a good amount of literal ground to make up if he’s going to break 1,000 rushing yards, but his total yardage may be the eye-popping stat that he needs. Jackson’s 1,206 rushing yards and the flair with which he got them was a major part of his campaign along with the progress he made as a passer. MVP winners typically have a blend of gaudy statistics, viral highlight plays, and a supporting narrative that is either year-over-year progress or team success.
Hurts may not end up playing all 17 games, but he’s on pace for 42 total touchdowns compared to Jackson’s 43 while having fewer turnovers and turnover-worthy plays. Watch as Sanders picks up the blitz, giving Hurts time to simply loft it into the air for Brown, who could have crawled into the end zone.The counting numbers between Jackson and Hurts are a mixed bag, but certainly comparable. Brown’s 41-yard touchdown catch against Tennessee. And we look for him to continue to do all these things and I'll be the first one to high five him when he hits that thousand yard mark and say, let's go to the next one.”īut the extent to which the offensive skill position players work in tandem was never clearer than on A.J. He's done a nice job playing and doing all the little things right to help that room. If he didn't get dinged up last year, which is part of the game, we would be talking about how this is the second year in a row that he's had a thousand yards. I know he got dinged up a little bit last year. The week before there was a lot of opportunities for him and he took advantage of the ones he got. For example, yesterday, there wasn't a lot of opportunities, but he took advantage of the ones he got.
We all know how explosive he is and how good of a football player he is, but he's just really taking advantage of all his opportunities. He just keeps getting better and getting better and better. They’re about him and just the development of his game. “So those are things that - some of those things are not even about the yards. He's been really good this year of seeing the pressures and identifying it and everything. “He's been really good this year of picking up pressures. “He's been really good this year as far as taking care of the football,” Sirianni said of Sanders. Without getting too much into it, there was a major effect.” Obviously, you love that as a coach, to be able to work it both ways because you saw the effect it had on the defense. But Jalen is so dynamic as far as both the things he's doing, right? You guys would know the stats better than I would, how many guys have actually thrown for that many yards after a game where they ran for that many yards? Setting a team record in rushing yards, then coming out and doing that.
“Again, Andrew could do some of those things. Andrew was a little bit more of a pocket passer, but had the ability to move and get out of things.
You talk about the good quarterbacks I've been around. I know Philip wasn't running for all those yards like that. “Like you said, it's been really different of how he's done that, right?. “He's had two really good games in a row,” Sirianni said of Hurts to assembled media on Wednesday.
