Some data visualizations for JJ McCarthy (and others) this season
A few graphs put out by Parker Fleming (at StatsOWar https://twitter.com/statsowar?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) comparing QBs across FBS this season.
Thought that people might be interested in the topic (or whether the Holy Roman Empire was truly holy or Roman).
Talk amongst yourselves.

I don’t know all these metrics but my interpretation is that the graphs are saying JJ is a pretty damn good qb
January 21st, 2024 at 10:56 PM ^
that and that i need to get glasses
and by glasses i mean "a microscope"

It also wasn't an empire. JJ could've benefited far more from Play Action than he did, as well.

These charts predict JJ will win a National Championship for Michigan.

The Holy Roman Empire was a bunch of former colonized people pretending that they were the political legacy of their former colonial masters.
The Byzantines were the the successor state to Rome, but as they were Greek they don’t count in Italian eyes.

anybody not have SQ in their pool as the guy who started the HRE conversation
January 21st, 2024 at 11:22 PM ^
The East Roman Empire (the name "Byzantine" was made up after the fact) was the Roman Empire. Not a successor state. Only the West half of the empire fell in 476. The East kept chugging along.
The East Romans spoke Greek but always thought of themselves as Romans ("Rhomaioi"). The thing the West had against them was that their religious allegiance was to the Patriarch of Constantinople, not the Bishop of Rome.

They, surprisingly, acted far more Roman than the HRE as well, being the wealthiest, most technologically advanced state for hundreds of years, and also murdering their rulers every other year, just for fun, like Rome often did.
January 22nd, 2024 at 7:10 AM ^
Yeah they never really figured out the whole succession thing, which finally had devastating consequences for the empire in 1204.

I need to get my Harbaugh glasses to read this. Smudges and all.
JJ is a good qb. He will do well for himself in the future.

Bo Nix surely dinked and dunked but was darn good at it.
January 22nd, 2024 at 12:36 AM ^
Second and third charts say that Dante Moore (UCLA) is essentially Deacon Hill (Iowa).
January 22nd, 2024 at 7:14 AM ^
That really jumped out. I thought he was supposed to be decent, but I have not watched him at all this year. That team was a mess or he really regressed.
January 22nd, 2024 at 9:51 AM ^
He looked good against their early non-con schedule, but kind of fell apart against decent opponents. Offense and protection was indeed a mess, so it's not surprising a true freshman QB struggled.

It took me a while to find JJ in there charts on a phone. Thanks for sharing though. Interesting
JJ is pretty damn good. For all the crazy WR talent OSU had, McCord was behind JJ. It goes to show piling up on 5*s don't matter unless you have a coach who knows how to use it.
January 22nd, 2024 at 9:01 AM ^
How is Iowa so incredibly bad at identifying QB talent
January 22nd, 2024 at 9:03 AM ^
Crazy that Parker Fleming was running this site on the side while coaching OSU's special teams, poorly. Hope he can come out with more fun graphs now that he can focus on it full-time.

I'll go ahead and double down and say, JJ will be the best QB in this class when it is all said and done. A smart GM will be getting a steal.
