Levi's lone interception on the Season.

[gridiron]

In my simple dimple ranking system, I say each interception wipes 10 completions off the board.

In my fantasy league gaining 10 yards is worth +1 point. Throwing interception -2 points.

So getting benched is not the same thing as being fired, you’d agree.

Sure.

Exactly "I say" was prominent in my first post. I wasn't claiming I was accurate I was hoping for a counter claim other than some lame "Utter, and complete nonsense."

Interceptions cost the production of plays that occurred before and after I say 10. What say you?

Did you lift weights this morning? Is that why your hands keep typing all this foolishness?

[CajunVic]

Maybe he did mind calisthenics.

Before this thread I had never heard of anyone "not thinking" an interception or fumble negated the previous production of a drive.

Seriously I thought it was universally accepted that a fumble or interception negated all the hard work of the drive.

This take is new to me.

Did you drop the weights on your head?

Would you be so kind to state the negative value (if any) you place on an average interception?

Thanks

I haven’t done the analysis necessary to answer that question accurately. But I’ll roll the dice and say it’s not equivalent to 10 completions.

That's fair.

I know I place a higher value on not throwing interceptions than most do.

I guess some stats guru could do an analysis, but my guess is, if it were done the st.dev. would be so large, it would be meaningless. How much does a 40 yd interception thrown on third and long hurt you as opposed to throwing an interception on your opponents one yd line on first down?

And to your analogy of business, plenty of successful companies have re assigned people to different tasks if they weren’t performing satisfactorily. LL wouldn’t be “fired” I still think he serves an important purpose on this roster.

I agree to a point. I will use a sales analogy. A sales person has a quota, he is meeting the quota or exceeding by a bit, but everyone in the world knows that there is a lot more revenue opportunity in the territory, IF the sales person executed better. In my experience at three Fortune 250 companies in sales, is that particular sales person will not be reassigned or fired, unless his manager is absolutely sure whoever replaces him will do better.

What I know everyone will have an opinion on is what is LL's quota in starting QB terms. I don't have a good answer for that. But I do know the answer of what Napier's quota is and that is winning games.

It is interesting that almost each and every analysis provided with respect to Levi results in a conclusion that he should unequivocally be the starting QB for Louisiana. So it is not a coincidence that the Head Coach feels the same way.
