Deety's Daily Stat Break
In the thread at this LINK, it was shown that the quarterbacks with the fewest attempts (but still the minimum 15 required to be ranked) had the lowest passing efficiency ratings, on average.
That was strictly true last year. If you list the QBs in order based on attempts per game and take any 10 consecutive QBs from the list, the group with the lowest average efficiency was the bottom 10 in terms of attempts per game.
Over the last 6 years this was also true, but there was one other group that faired as badly; the group with somewhere around 21-23 attempts per game.
Last year, being in this group was double bad, as the bottom 10 (in attempts per game) included Marcus Vick, at 22.23 attempts per game. By way of comparison, the 10th fewest attempts per game was less than 18 per game in 2000 and 2001.
Recall from a previous post that Troy Smith had 21.55 attempts per game last year, placing him in the bottom 10 in attempts per game. While his peers in this group averaged a humble rating of 115.23, Troy's rating was a manly 162.7.
To state it plainly, Troy Smith had a QB rating 47 and a half points higher than those who had a similar number of attempts per game. Last year, 47 and a half points was more than the difference between being ranked #4 (Troy Smith) and being ranked #74 (Andre Woodson of Kentucky). I can promise you that this is the only context in which Troy Smith and Andre Woodson can be mentioned in the same sentence.
All Hail the Glory of Troy Smith

If you adjust all stats on the line accordingly, presume a 10 yard completion for a TD was actually picked off in the end zone, then a passers' rating drops by over 3 full points since you must lower the YDs, COMPs, and TDs numbers while factoring in the INT.
