Pretty much everyone considers Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees to be the 3 best QBs in the NFL. Can't put Peyton Manning in there since he didn't play last season. I want to focus on what Stats has classified as poor throws. Here is how those 3 compare to Ryan ranked from best to worst.
1. Drew Brees - 61 (32.3%)
2. Matt Ryan - 82 (37.4%)
3. Aaron Rodgers - 71 (44.7%)
4. Tom Brady - 107 (51.0%)
So according to that a higher number of Rodgers and Brady's incomplete passes are due to poor throws. Over half of Brady's incompletions are poor throws.
Here is how they rank from getting the most help from their receivers to the worst help from their receivers.
1. Tom Brady - 22 (10.5%)
2. Drew Brees - 26 (13.8%)
3. Matt Ryan - 34 (15.5%)
4. Aaron Rodgers - 29 (18.2%)
Take from this what you will but just thought it was interesting.
