Mathmatical misconception on VY

People point to vince youngs record of 30-17 and say "But he is 13-1 against good teams!". So I did a little mathmatical investigation into those claims, as it implies his record is the result of playing easy teams.

So he is 30-17 as a starter, 13-14 against .500+ teams. Lets do a little math.

(30, 17) -(13, 14) = 17-3 against sub .500 teams.

We aint done yet!

Lets get this in winning percentages.

That is, So 13/27 = 0.481

and 17/20 = 0.850

Now, let us go one step forward and calculate the number of games won per year with him as the QB. Ofcourse for average sake, lets split +.500 and sub .500 teams per year down the middle.

That is, (0.481)(8) + (0.85)(8) = 3.85 + 6.8 = 10.65 wins per season.

Just as a reference, 30/47 * 16 = 10.21 per season.

The small difference is because he underwent a tougher schedule.

I just thought id tell you. The 13-14 record is nonsense.

 

.....when it is used to imply that he really wasnt that good it is. Very much so.

 

Actually, stats I picked up on another board.:

Drew Brees record against .500+ teams: 24-24
Rivers: 24-24
Ryan: 14-14
Flacco: 13-14
Romo: 18-20
Eli: 23-31
Rodgers: 11-16
Cutler: 14-24
Palmer: 14-31

 

then dont post on this thread
