2012-13 NFL Week 6: D A L L A S

every play that was 3rd down resulting in a 1st down for GB since 2008 is the best i can do

Just switching that to passing plays only on 3rd down regardless of whether they converted, and you get Rodgers with a passer rating of 111.8.

Good work Tweek.

And 746 total 3rd down passing plays, with 333 conversions.

[Tweek]

aight so the data is here archi

from 2008 you can look at this link for all the plays in which a 3rd down converted into a 1st http://pfref.com/tiny/bH8gk (looks like 288 plays including penalties) just click show all QBs
vs
from 2008 all the 3rd down plays that were not a result of a 1st down again click show all QBs http://pfref.com/tiny/feR6G 332 plays


CSV both of these and combine some ofthe leader data and you should be able to compile a quick list just using QBs

Sounds like a lot of work.

arod likes to hold on to the ball too long though, and that's not factored into the qb rating. Look at how many sacks he has on 3rd down as well

meh nm though CSV would output it to excel for ya

Aaron Rodgers
Matt Cassel
Jay Cutler
Matt Ryan
Jason Campbell
Donovan McNabb
Matt Hasselbeck
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Mark Sanchez

If the choice on 3rd down is to throw it away or take a sack, who gives a shit unless you're in field goal range? You're punting anyway.

Unless you're arguing a pro-unleash-the-dragon stance, in which case you're right - Rodgers will never be Sexy Rexy.

[archibaldcrane]

And on that note, Rodgers has taken 5 3rd down sacks in his career between the opponents' 20 and 35 yard line, where it really hurts you for FG range.
