Conga3 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What are Bell's YAC (yards after completion/catch) stats? those have to be ridiculous at this point. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 West Va was killing it in the Orange bowl with basically the same play last year. It is what it is, basically a pitch but it's going forward so it's a pass. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Related to one of these stats, Kenny Bell's yards per reception, how do you all feel about that play being defined as a pass? That was the one "reception" he had and it went for 68 yards. It happened in one of the night games and was a big play in the game. If I remember correctly, it was fumbled and then it was called an incomplete pass?!? It is what it is. There's no perfect way to 'fairly' gauge whether plays are runs or passes, because they don't happen inside a vacuum and it needs to be as simple as possible for officiating purposes. Ball goes forward, it's a pass. Backwards, a lateral. Same idea with the option. Is it fair if a quarterback runs seven yards downfield making the play work and then pitches it to his runningback, only to lose the yards he gained and all the sudden the RB gets a nice YPC boost? 1 Quote Link to comment
