ESPN analyst and former NFL coach Rex Ryan had some interesting things to say about Jordan Love.
Ryan is correct that the stats do not really back him up.
This year, the #1 best QB in the NFL in one-score games in the second half?
Jordan Love.
#1 in EPA per attempt at +0.56
#1 in first down rate at 45%
#2 in success rate at 61%
#6 in completion rate at 75%
#6 in TD:INT ratio at 6:1
Want a larger sample size?
Over the last three years, among 62 QBs with at least 30 attempts in the second half of one score games, Love ranks:
#1 in EPA per attempt
#2 in TD rate
#4 in success rate
That’s the #1 best EPA per attempt in the NFL
Are those big moments big enough for you, Rex?
Second halves of one score games?
What about all third downs, all game long?
This year, he ranks #2 in success rate and #2 in accuracy on third downs.
The Packers convert a new first down on 49% of his third down attempts, #2 in the NFL
It’s time to take personal bias out of commentary, because it’s clear Ryan dislikes Love for some reason.
The nonsense he’s spewing about Love is patently false.
