QUICK NOTES ON TAVA
1. HOW IS TAVA CALCULATED?
To see how TAVA, WA and PA are calculated, click here.
GAMES PLAYED
Because
TAVA ranks QBs according to the QB Support they received and the final
result of the game, I analyzed games where there was only one QB who
took significant snaps. Games where a QB got injured around halftime or
games where two QBs had a large role in determining the outcome were
excluded. Because of what I did with the Arizona QBs (which I'll get to
in just a minute), this still only required me to exclude around 15 out
of 512 QB performances. I'd love to include every QB performance, but
including over 97 % seems good enough.
ANALYZING "38" QBS
In
the rankings, I've included all NFL QBs who were the only QB to take
significant snaps in at least 4 games in 2012. Additionally, I've also
included "one QB" who played in 10 NFL games this season: QBs of the
Arizona Cardinals not named Kevin Kolb. The probem was that Ryan
Lindley, John Skelton, and Billy Hoyer all played a number of games
where two of them had significant playing time. None of them played four
games at the QB position where no other QB saw substantial time. Still,
this trio was so uniquely ineffective and downright terrible, I wanted
to include them somehow as a reference. Maybe it's not fair to lump
their mistakes in with each other, but you can see they were not exactly
adequate signal callers.
