Alex Smith and Andy Reid Throwing Attempts Per Game
 

We all know that Andy Reid loves to throw the football around. I wanted to see how much he really does do this. Well over the life of his career in Philadelphia, the Eagles averaged around 556 attempts in the regular season. That comes out to around 34 times a game they pass. Every game they are chucking it 34 times.

I went and looked at Alex Smith's record when he attempted at least 34 or more passes per game. He has done that 16 times in the regular season and once in the playoff game against New Orleans.

His record in those 16 regular season games:
3-13

We all know he beat the Saints in the playoffs so he is 1-0 there.

His best season was the 2009 one under Jimmy Raye, yeah that Jimmy Raye, he won 2 games and lost 3. He was 1-2 with Harbaugh in the regular season attempted 34 or more passes per game.

Arn't you all so excited Chief fans?

Science!







Ha.

So you're saying we could pick a QB at #1 in 2014? Is it next year yet?

lol

Your stats suck !

Why can't people understand that Alex Smith came on in 2011.

Kind of comparing apples to oranges. Reid throws a lot because throwing a lot is in the philosophy. Smith throwing a lot was because they were down. Obviously throwing a lot because you're down vs throwing just because that's what you do is going to yield more losses.

Umm, did you see where he added up stuff and divided it? Face!

FYP

what a joke of a thread.

bu bu but .... Alex Smith and Andy Reid are both West Coast offense!!

3-12 with more than 34 passes cause he is losing....1-27-1 when behind by more than 24, horrible stats with under 100 yards running. WTF is Alex good at???? thats the question....why o why???

I agree. He is not as bad as this board is saying.

If he's not bad why did Schefter say no team was willing to give up as much as KC did.


I mean he's pretty shitty

IM TRUSTING THE PROCESS! Turns up the FOX; sweet madame bluuuuuuuueeee, gaze at your looking-glaaaaaasssssss......lol

Does 1-2 make you feel any better.

That projects out to a 5-11 season.

But, but, but what if he magically turns it around!!!

I'm still clinging to the hope that we don't officially know what we gave up.


:(

Well, at least we didn't give them the 33rd pick it was just the 34th and the next 4 years :(

Any team that throws that much when they don't WANT to will have a massively losing record. They would only be throwing that much if they were losing and needed to catch up quickly. I'm excited to see what Alex Smith can do with this crew. :)

well ... i'll give you an A for effort in the optimism dept.

The only stat that counts is wins.

...and without that loaded Niner team, they will be harder to come by.

Exactly this, OP is an idiot for not taking this into consideration. Especially when SF has been known to ride the run and D to wins over the last few years.

reeruned thread

Andy Reid wants to throw the ball 34 times a game. That is what he does. When Alex Smith has been asked to do that, he has failed.

But keep your head in the sand thinking he will change.
