In the coming weeks we will be using ALEX to help analyze other statistics familiar to FO readers such as failed completions and success rate adjusted for down and distance. We will also get into the defensive numbers to see if any defenses are consistently good at forcing offenses into shorter throws.

Since we are getting close to the midway point of the season, here is a look at which quarterbacks have finished first and last in ALEX on third down for each season from 2006 to 2014 (minimum 50 passes).
