LOL    "Big Time Throw Rate..."  WTF are we just making up stats now so everyone can be good at something,  like participation trophies

It measures throws difficulty level really. Mainly down field past LOS. Balls thrown in rhythm, timing, with excellent ball location. His talent level is actually really high.

You play with stats long enough and you can find a positive for even the shittiest players... all these tortured stats lead to head scratching drafts and problem rosters.

I think it's good they started tracking these. They also now track "Turnover Worthy Plays" to provide a more accurate evaluation of a player's performance. Statistically, two QBs who both throw 20-yard touchdown passes are exactly the same. But if one QB throws this pass under pressure, on 3rd and long, in a tight window to take the lead in the game...it's a whole different thing than a QB who throws a 20-yard TD pass on 1st and 10, with no pressure, well behind the receiver and if the DB had a clue would've easily been picked off. Those two passes should not have equal weight.

Well, if you can't see the talent level and you see JJ as "shitty" okay then. To each their own.
