Who were the top quarterbacks, for better or for worse, in Week 12?
What a reminder Week 12 gave us of how important it is to draft well in the first round of the draft when betting on a quarterback. Going back to Draft 2017, the first quarterback selected that year has his team sunk and looks to an uncertain career future, while the next two are the two highest paid at the position in the NFL, and they take that salary every Sunday.
Thus, we present – as always, in alphabetical order – the quarterbacks who most stood out, positively or negatively, in the NFL in the last day:
Cinco quarterbacks al raises
Narrowly, Minny managed to get a game that seemed absolutely lost to Carolina, with Cousins finding at the last moment the Chad Beebe for the winning touchdown, but statistically it was a very good afternoon for Cousins, who connected on 34 of his 45 passes for 307 yards with three touchdowns without interceptions, although he did suffer a catch fumble that was returned to the touchdown by the Panthers. The 75.6 percent completion rate that ended his afternoon was remarkable, too.
At times, it seems that Chiefs they’re going to score a touchdown on 100 percent of their offensive series. This is how it looked Kansas City during much of the victory that was scored at the home of the Buccaneers, although for reasons of sport, Tampa Bay managed to approach and close the afternoon with a misleading marker, to some extent. Mahomes completed 37 of 49 passes for 462 yards and three touchdowns, all of them for Tyreek Hill, while adding 28 key yards on four carries. Clearly, it is in the thick of the discussion by Most valuable Player of the season along with the next pin on our list.
Don’t look now, but the 33 touchdown passes he’s on Rodgers, with five games to play, is already the fifth-highest total for a career season. The pin of the Packers added four more in Week 12, when he completed 21 of 29 pass attempts for 211 yards with no turnovers on the pass he gave. Green Bay a Chicago, at home. With a 96.8, Rodgers the Total QBR highest of the day, visibly contrasting with what the Bears they offered in the same position, in the same match.
Watson he stole the Thanksgiving Day with four touchdown passes as part of his 17-for-25 outing for 318 yards in which he made no turnovers. On two occasions, he got the scoring connection with Will Fuller V, who is now going to miss thanks to a wide receiver suspension. In addition, he also managed to give touchdown receptions to Duke Johnson Y C.J. Prosise, evidencing his great use of the resources he has at hand. We keep thinking about the would, when we imagine the numbers it would have now Watson had it not been because Bill O’Brien it occurred to him to get rid of his best weapon, DeAndre Hopkins. This Week 12, no one even came close to the 12.72 yards per pass attempt he averaged in the game.
It will never stop being fun to watch Wilson, even when he has to be escaping pressure most of the time because of the dubious protection of the offensive line. For this journey, Wilson regained his backfield with the return of Carlos Hyde Y Chris Carson, but generally speaking, it was Wilson who annihilated Philadelphia, completing 22 of 31 shipments for 230 yards with a touchdown without interceptions. For all the media noise it generates DK Metcalf, it must be admitted that the numbers in the Wilson they’d be even better if the second-year catcher had better hands.
Five quarterbacks down
In fairness, no one expected a stellar performance from Allen, called at the last minute to make up for the absence of Joe Burrow above the usual substitute, Ryan Finley. Those kinds of movements always leave us doubts about the hierarchical order, don’t they? Allen he had a tough time, completing 17 of 29 pass attempts for 136 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and also lost a fumble that sealed the loss for the Bengals on the first play of a final series with 57 seconds to play. Nevertheless, Cincy he wasn’t really out of the game until then.
The criticized passer of the Jets managed to complete just 16 of 27 pass attempts for 197 yards, without touchdowns and with two interceptions so that the offense of the Jets will add the great amount of 3 points before Miami. Adam Gase surprised many on Thursday, putting aside his usual petulance to publicly admit that he has failed in his attempt to develop Darnold, the worst quarterback in the league, statistically, of the season. What else is new in New York?
All teams in the NFL their destiny is inexorably tied to the performance of the quarterback, but in few cases is such a marked drop in the group noticed that when Goff It just doesn’t work, and what makes things worse is the long distance between the good days and the bad days of Goff. Before the NinersIt was one of the bad days. Goff hit 19 of 31 pass attempts for 198 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, scoring second worst Total QBR of the day with a measly 10.0. There is no stronger proof that the magic of Sean McVay seems to be dissipating that the week-by-week performance of the Los Angeles quarterback Rams.
The worst performance of the day in terms of Total QBR, and the only one that did not exceed a single digit, was for Newton, who stayed at a sad 6.6. Newton you’re right when you say you shouldn’t apologize for winning ugly, and Patriots have been, at least, competitive in most of their matches with Newton behind the wheel, something that can’t be said for many other quarterbacks in the league. But nevertheless, New England it clearly requires more than nine completions of 18 attempts for 84 yards with two interceptions without touchdowns. Sure, the arsenal of Newton he is much poorer than other quarterbacks, but part of the expected leadership of the position is to raise the bar of the rest.
Although it seems incredible, Tubes threw three touchdown passes on the night. Sure, he also completed just 26 of 46 pass attempts for 242 yards with two costly interceptions. And obviously, many of those numbers came when enough time had passed for the party to be defined in favor of the Packers. Chicago is in an unenviable position, unable to rely on the expensive off-season booster, Nick FolesBut neither in his first-round recruit – second overall – who was supposed to be the future of the club. Chicago He has done very poorly at quarterback for a long time, and the payoffs are in sight.
