How QBs did in obvious passing situations

[MightyGiants]

I would think this stat is more telling than most.  When a team is in an obvious passing situation, the coaches and scheme can't really help the QB as much as in non-obvious passing situations.

Its also telling that they got in obvious passing downs in the first place. Who's that on?

That will depend on the team; in some cases, that's the result of a poor or inconsistent running game.  For other teams, it will be the failure of the short passing game.  For others, it can be on the QB (especially QBs lacking consistency)

Ed: This was going to be my point. Good teams have fewer obvious pass situations because (1) good run game, especially on first down; (2) few penalties putting the offense in obvious passing situations, especially on first down; and (3) great play execution (run or pass) on first down, gaining a first down or setting the stage for a NOTHING obvious second down.

In five words, it's all about first down. THAT is where the real money is earned.

Same in college. Don't get behind the sticks.
