Zach Wilson has been under a bunch of pressure as a passer this season, but how much pressure, and how has he performed compared to other QBs when pressured and when kept clean? NB. Where rankings are listed, I have only considered the 33 QBs with over 150 dropbacks.
UNDER PRESSURE (43.3% of dropbacks: 3rd-most in the league)
- Completion rate = 44.7% (26th of 33)
- YPA = 4.5 (29/33)
- TDs = 0 (T33/33)
- INT = 1 (T3/33)
- ADOT = 7.8 (T31/33)
- Adjusted completion rate (subtract throwaways and drops) = 65.8% (16/33)
- Sacks = 31 (32/33)
- NFL passer rating = 53.8 (25/33)
KEPT CLEAN
- Completion rate = 68.2% (29/33)
- YPA = 6.8 (26/33)
- TDs = 5 (T23/33)
- INT = 4 (T18/33)
- ADOT = 7.8 (T11/33)
- Adj. completion rate = 75.3% (T29/33)
- Sacks = 0 (T1/33 - only 3 QBs have been sacked while kept clean, all once each)
- NFL passer rating = 87.2 (29/33)
Pretty consistent with what I would expect.
With a better OL he’d probably be in the QB20-30 range in terms of overall league rankings.
He’s still not “good” but he’s made significant improvements this season when you consider he was considered one of the worst QBs to ever step on a field after last season.
