2005 QB Percentage of Poor Throws
Everyone knows who produced fantasy points and who didn't. We're looking here for foundational stats that enable us to better assess whether bottom-line production was properly supported. If not, we revise 2006 rankings upward or downward depending on the stength or weakness of the supporting statistic.
Here we see which QBs really have the best accuracy by ranking them from lowest poor throw percentage to highest. Poor thows are those viewed as uncatchable in the opinion of the statistician at the game. Think of this as analogous to an official scorer determining whether a batted ball is an error. There is subjectivity here, but not enough to discount the merit of the stat.
