I will say that it is interesting that Barkley is not discussed anymore. And the dude is on the brink of topping the rushing yard record. And I get that he is doing it in more games.
Dickerson 2105 in 16 games with a 5.5 YPC
BUT the one thing I will point out is that Barkley is at 5.8 YPC
So if he gets the record he will have earned it. And I would need to do some more digging but was he pulled in any games to short him 20-25 more carries over the last 16 games? Literally not even 2 per game.
Iād probably go Allen. But I brought up Burrow cause no one mentioned him. If they had a better defense heād be in the conversation IMO. Without Burrow they are probably 1 and 15. They still could sneak into the playoffs. It aint a 4 and 12 Stafford team.
Does it say how average separation score is calculated? Is it based on the average separation of every route runner on passing plays, or the average separation that the targeted receivers have on drop backs?
In other words, are the Bills so low because their receivers arenāt getting open or because Allen is more willing to throw into contested coverage? Conversely are the Ravens so high because their receivers (due to scheme, running threat, skill, etc) are consistently running free or because Jackson is less likely to throw into contested coverage and is better at finding an open receiver?
I think the graph is interesting, because if average separation is looking at all route runners you could argue that Allenās performance is more impressive because Jackson has a much better offense around him. But if youāre just looking at the average separation of targeted receivers then Iām not sure what, if anything, to make of it.
