    Not that I necessarily think we’re unfairly ranked here since this is just one of many possible metrics to use in team evaluation, but I will point out that the west coast offense is sort of at an inherent disadvantage when it comes to EPA/play.

    The whole concept of the offense emphasizes short, quick-hitting passing plays that slowly move the offense down the field, so it’s rarely going to make a big impact on expected points on a play-by-play basis.

    I’d be interested to instead see something like percent of plays with a positive EPA and how we grade out in that metric.

      That’s an interesting point. In spite of that, Dak himself is 6th in the league right now in EPA per play.
