Revisiting Cassel's statistical splits

[Hammock Parties]

Thought I'd do this tonight before the rest of the league gets a game on our injury-prone QB.

Cassel now has a 53.7 percent completion percentage rate on third down and 46.1 percent completion rate over 10 yards.

A few weeks ago he was around 48/41.5. Only McNabb was worse on third down and he was 24th out of 29 quarterbacks in downfield passing at one time. Obviously he has improved.

Third down rankings:

1. Kitna - 72.2
2. Garrad- 66.7
3. Brees - 65.0
4. Ryan - 63
5. Ruthlessraper - 63.5
6. Fitzpatrick - 62.9
7. Vick- 61.2
8. Cutler - 61.2
9. Hill - 60.4
10. Manning - 60.3
11. Hasselbeck - 60.2
12. Freeman - 60.0
13. Henne - 60.0
14. Schaub - 59.4
15. Rodgers - 58.5
16. Brady - 58.4
17. Bradford - 56.6
18. Flacco -55.6
19. Favre - 54.6
20. Cassel – 53.7
21. Rivers - 53.5
22. Palmer - 52.9
23. Smith - 52.9
24. Orton - 52.3
25. Campbell - 51.5
26. E. Manning - 51.3
27. Sanchez - 48.4
28. Clausen - 47.8
29. McNabb - 45.7
30. Anderson - 44.3

28. Campbell - 36.3
29. Freeman - 33.8
30. Hill - 33.3

Other splits I find interesting:

1. Cassel's throws to the left sideline are terrible, apparently. His worst completion percentage (48.8), lowest YPA (5.54) and 2 of his 4 INT are to that side of the field.

2. Cassel's stats when we are behind are almost identical to his stats when we are ahead. In fact he has a better completion percentage when we are behind.

3. Cassel has not thrown an INT in the second half this year.
