Nexus Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Knowing what we know about Taylor's career up to this point, interpret the stats however you see fit, but don't forget to factor in his injury last year post-Mizzou game as well as the OC change. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You should add the sacks, imo. IIRC, he got sacked like 15 more times last year than this year. But that also makes his rushing last year more impressive. Quote Link to comment

But that also makes his rushing last year more impressive. Nebraska gave up 29 sacks last year but more specifically they gave up 12 sacks in their last 2 games (7 vs Oklahoma & 5 vs Washington). So far they've allowed 15 sacks this season. Quote Link to comment
Conga3 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What about stats on 1st downs and 3rd down conversions? I thought Taylor made a noticeable improvement this year on moving the chains by making good decision in the passing game - whether to hit a check-down or scrambling. Quote Link to comment

Conga3 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks Nexus. Hmmm.. identical stats essentially. Now I don't know what to think. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I thought T-Mart had a LOT better year this year than last. He was more of a team leader. And the stats seem to compare favorably. If you look at them closely. His running stats are down a bit. But nearly all of T-Mart's 2010 running stats came in the first few warm-up games. Great highlights, but not very meaningful numbers. Also, turnovers are down a bit this year. Same number of interceptions (7) on about 40% more passes. And last year we had 45 fumbles (whole team) versus 31 fumbles this year. Quote Link to comment
Landomatic Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks Nexus. Hmmm.. identical stats essentially. Now I don't know what to think. That's how I'm seeing it. Especially when you factor in that he was hurt and essentially standing in the pocket and handing the ball off for a couple games last year. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that I am not a big T-Mart fan so I'm probably being a little blinded by that. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 He has improved a lot this year, but doesn't play well in big games. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 He has improved a lot this year, but doesn't play well in big games. Wisc was the only really bad game he had this year. The rest of the time he was somewhere between OK and good. Northwestern he played well, the defense gave the game away, and Mich was a total team failure. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Stats dont matter. If youve watched considerable minutes this year and cant honestly say that Taylor has grown into his role and improved, then you just dont know what youre watching. 3 Quote Link to comment

Agree, although stats do give us a season long snapshot that is sometimes obfuscated by memories of a particularly good or bad play or a particularly good or bad game. I am surprised his completion percentage is down..........although to be fair, his receivers had some significant drops.......... Quote Link to comment

Ohio State was the only game I was impressed, and I was very impressed. Other games he did play from OK to good besides Wisscy and Mich, but those were two big games. I'd like us to let him throw more on the run and not be under center as much. Abdullah, Turner, Rex, Bell, Enunwa are all guys that need the ball and only Rex received those touches.

Hoosker Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 He just spread out his numbers this year. All his stats were against the cupcakes in September. He has spread out his production throughout the whole season this year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think it's impressive how we all see him as a good manager now but he is still putting up the numbers he did last year. Quote Link to comment
