Only because it hasn’t been fully understood yet. But we’re definitely getting there! I know a lot people reading this are already there and don’t need to be reminded, but for the others, a quick refresher:
The Bengals lost another game in the 2019 season. They lost primarily because their starting quarterback couldn’t outplay the opposing quarterback and gave away too many opportunities for points.
Andy Dalton has started 11 games this season. This is his ninth time his EPA/Play was lower than the quarterback he faced and the seventh time his QBR was lower.
