Best passer rating on 3rd down this season. #1 Jalen Hurts 111.2

Haters won’t like that one for sure
Sorry, best I can do is run Will Shipley up the middle on 3rd down
Considering the Eagles are 27th in the NFL in 3rd down conversion rate I’m not sure how much this matters.
The Eagles are handing it off or throwing short of the sticks way too much on 3rd down.
How can we go 3 and out more than any other team, and also have the best 3rd down qb. Seems like a cherry picked stat.
This is weird considering we go 3 and out at the highest rate of any offense in the league?
That throw to Smitty on the right sideline late in the Packers games on third and long was a great throw. I know the focus of the offense has consistently been AJ not being involved enough, but a silver lining is that Jalen and Smitty have developed excellent chemistry this year
This does not correlate to having the most 3 and outs. So this is one of those worthless statistics.
Breaking news: the QBs who have the best passer ratings in the NFL overall also have the best passer ratings on 3rd down
Maybe we should let him fucking pass the ball on third down!!!
Surprised he has 50 attempts /s
Passer rating is a horrible statistic. It’s basically meaningless because it doesn’t account for down, distance and field position. For example getting 20 yards on a 3 and 25 would lead to a higher passer rating that getting 15 yards and 3 and 14. That is why epa is the onlt statistic people should use. Hurts is 13th out of 32 epa/play on third down.
Hurts will win mvp
So that’s why they avoid throwing on third and long…. Wait ….
Anyone else suprised to find out that Jalen has thrown on 3rd down over 50 times this season so far?
Hurts consistently shows up when the moment is at its toughest. He doesn’t put up crazy big numbers while ahead, but leading a comeback or in a big game or when the drive depends on him, he gets it done.
I think that’s why Hurts is so divisive. It’s easy to not like him when the team is ahead, but it’s hard to not see his skill when the W is on the line.
As someone who remembers the McNabb years, winning the big game is what I want out of a quarterback. You can lose in the NFC championship only so many times before you stop caring about big numbers and just want the win.
It would be even better if they could get to more 3rd and manageable. Well maybe not that may be part of it because they don’t get in a lot of third and shorts so they have to pass the ball. Unless they don’t.
Because they run a draw play on 90% of 3rd downs
Mid
/s
Tbh this is partly because we don’t let him throw on tough 3rd downs.
We are a bad 3rd down team hence why we have so many 3 and outs.
It’s cause we run on 3rd and 10+ all the time
And yet we call runs at a higher rate on third and long than any other team in the last 25 years
Most cowardly 3rd down play calls: Kevin Patullo
So we should throw more on 3rd down, right Patullo?
He has 50+ attempts? Could’ve sworn every third down was a draw
Because that’s when Jalen goes off script.
But do the passes get the first down? Defenses will happily allow Jalen a 5 yard pass if he needs 12.
This matches the eye test. Unfortunately we also run the ball at a ridiculously high rate. It’s seems like if it’s short or long, we run. Either to set up the QB sneak, or just give up.
But Jalen is one of the most careful passers in the NFL. I’d rather pass more on these third down and longs and invite some more risk, than just give up on the drive entirely.
That’s surprising since we have the highest rate of 3 and outs since the 2013 raiders.
And yet we run on third and long
I mean yea, you’re rating will be way higher if you only throw it like 5 fucking times through the season. 5 completions and you’re perfect
This stat means nothing when we see we’re one of the worst terms at converting third downs and we have so many 3 and outs
cuz he doesn’t ever throw it unless dudes wide open
7-2
We have passed 50+ times on 3rd down? I must have had a pee break on those third downs. lol.
And we somehow have the highest 3 and out percentage in the league
I am shocked by the number of people in the comments who think this is an empty stat because of the 3 and out rate. This is very telling of how often the coach chooses to run up the middle on third down instead of throwing it despite pretty consistent success when throwing it. Don’t we remember the Vikings game?
Patullo will see this, think it’s like golf where the lower number is better, and stop throwing the ball period.
We pretty much give up on third down and run
When you don’t throw on third and long, your passer rating goes up.
Holy shit Jalen has 50 pass attempts on 3rd down?
Passer rating does not take fumbles or not even passing the ball into account, so take the rating with a grain of salt (Lamar’s passer rating is also high)
The 3 and out’s have been ridiculous
We don’t even convert on most of these 3rd downs lol
Minimum 50 attempts, but the eagles have gone 38-of-109 on 3rd downs this season. So a lot of those are going to be “empty calorie” 3rd downs where he’s getting 12 yards on 3rd-and-22, for example
It’s cause we throw it so rarely on third down.
Everyone is saying our poor 3 and out rate is due to the amount of times we run on third down, which may contribute to the discrepancy here, but imo it is more due to the fact that we get behind on the down and distance so frequently. If we it’s 3 and 9 or 3 and 10+ Hurts may indeed complete a pass but it will not equal a first down conversion.
All the proof you need that Hurts is not the problem with this offense at all, it’s Patullo and the play calling
Wait I thought he was a mid tier qb at best? So weird
When is the last time Hurts ran it in for a TD? We used to get those tuddies on the tush push practically every game
lol we have 51 attempts
But we have the worst 3rd conversion percentage in the league….
