In high school, Tim Boyle threw an INT once every 24 attempts. At UConn he threw an INT every 21 attempts. At Eastern Kentucky he threw an INT every 15 attempts. And in the NFL he’s thrown an INT every 13 attempts.
Tim Boyle has a 7.5% INT rate in the NFL. (League average is around 2.3%.) And he had a 4.7% INT rate in college.
How does someone like this make it to the NFL, much less as the preferred backup that is now starting?
It’s a valid question, pretty wild stats. He’s prob a good dude or whatever but yikes. Seems like he’s on the coaching fast track, good for him.
The real weird thing to me is why aren’t they starting Siemian? I mean he’s not good either but he’s got quite a bit of NFL starting experience at least.
