![]() ![]() In 2020, there was a spike in both deep completion percentage and deep TD:INT ratio. That was Patrick Mahomes first season as a starter in the NFL. In 2018 there was a big jump in deep completion percentage year over year. Deep TD:INT ratio has stayed at or above 1.10:1.00 ever since. In 2012 the league as a whole had a big change in deep TD:INT ratio - it jumped from 1.03 to 1.20 year over year. If you prefer I have a plot below of some of this deep passing data, and it is interesting to see that inflection points coincided to the entrance of the three best active deep passers into the league. It would appear that many things peaked in 2020. Overall TD:INT ratio has also been gradually increased over time peaking at 2.2:1.0 in 2020. Completion percentage in the NFL overall has gradually increased from its low of 59.8 in 2006 to a high of 65.2 in 2020. If I had access to SIS’ or NextGen’s full data set, I’d love to look at INTs by their distances with short, medium and long categories (see below).ĭuring this time span, league-wide deep completion percentage was as low as 36.1 percent in 2017 and as high as 43.8 percent in 2020. This is interesting partly because PFR only has two throw distances in their play synopsis - short and deep - where short is any throw that lands 15 yards or less from the LOS. The most interesting thing to me was the 45 percent of all interceptions are on deep throws. This is not to be confused with short throws that turn into long TDs because of YAC. On average about twelve percent of all completions are deep, but thirty percent of all TDs are on deep passes. 2021 had more shorter throws than other recent years. Oddly enough, the 16.6 percent value for deep passes in 2021 was the lowest value in the whole time frame. So using 15 yards from the LOS as deep, about 20% of all passes each year are deep. But I also wanted to see what and how the league does as a whole on deep throws. So I searched every regular season play from 2006 to 2021 to see which QBs were and are good at throwing deep and which QBs are not. The pass distance and direction data for every play only goes back to 2006. Since is a part of PFR and they have the most searchable data (and I have a sub there), I will use them for this study and their definition of deep. defines a deep pass as one that lands 15 yards or more from the LOS. First let’s look at how “deep” is defined. My readers know that I write about questions that I want to answer. How good is he? What is “good” in terms of deep passing, for that matter, how do you define “deep”?

The Green Bay Packers are the franchise with the most playoff appearances in NFL history – they have reached the knockout stage 35 times, most recently in the 2022 season when they lost out to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. The culmination of this tournament is the Super Bowl, which is one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar. The NFL playoffs is a knockout tournament held amongst the best 14 teams from the regular season. The Texas native has thrown over 80 thousand passing yards in a career that started back in 2001. However, the bragging rights for the most passing yards in NFL history do not belong to Brady, but to fellow legendary quarterback, Drew Brees. Tom Brady is peerless when it comes to total passing yards for the New England Patriots – his over-74,000 yards are more than double those of Drew Bledsoe, who occupies second place on the Patriots’ all-time list. The Pittsburgh Steelers also have six Vince Lombardi trophies to their name, the last coming back in 2009. He was present in all six of the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl wins between 20, putting him at the franchise top of the list of most Super Bowl wins of all time. The quarterback won a total of 35 playoff games during his career, more than double that of his closest rival on the list, Joe Montana.Ī legend of the game, Tom Brady played in ten Super Bowls and has emerged victorious in seven of them.
