Jay Cutler’s 24 Total Turnovers in 2014

Aug 25, 2015

Over my next few articles, I’m going to be covering the biggest positives (touchdowns) and negatives (turnovers) from the NFC North QBs in 2014. Jay Cutler threw 18 interceptions during the 2014 regular season and lost 6 fumbles for a league-leading 24 turnovers. First, I’m going to cover some charting data I came up with while watching his passing. Then, on page 2 and beyond, there are my thoughts of the individual plays themselves. Here are the articles in the series that I have completed so far:

  • Teddy Bridgewater’s 15 TDs.
  • Teddy Brigewater’s 12 turnovers.
  • Jay Cutler’s 30 TDs.
  • Matthew Stafford’s 25 TDs.
  • Aaron Rodgers’ 44 TDs.
  • Aaron Rodgers’ 10 turnovers.
    • One of the first things I charted for each interception was blame. I assigned three categories, which should be self-explanatory:

    Blame

    QB’s Fault 10
    Partially QB’s fault 5
    Not QB’s fault 3

     

    Cutler often gets lambasted for his carelessness, but I found that he wasn’t really fully at fault for quite a number of the interceptions he threw. A number of the interceptions appeared to be miscommunications between QB and receiver, where either the pass catcher ran the wrong route or Cutler threw to the wrong place based on the defense.… Article continues here

    Jay Cutler’s 30 Total TDs in 2014

    Throughout his career, Jay Cutler has been a very up and down QB. 2014 was no different, as the Chicago Bears’ signal caller had some great moments but also his fair share of mistakes, and the Bears floundered to a 5-11 record. This article will break down the TDs that Cutler contributed to for the Bears in 2014.

    Over my next few articles, I’m going to be covering the biggest positives (touchdowns) and negatives (turnovers) from the NFC North QBs in 2014. This article covers Jay Cutler his 28 passing and 2 rushing TDs in 2014. First, I’m going to cover some charting data I came up with while watching his passing. Then, on page 2 and beyond, there are my thoughts of the individual plays themselves. Here are the articles in the series that I have completed so far:

  • Teddy Bridgewater’s 15 TDs.
  • Teddy Brigewater’s 12 turnovers.
  • Matthew Stafford’s 25 TDs.
    • Here’s data on the yardage from Cutler’s TDs:

    Yardage Breakdown

    Yards 373 Average 13.3
    Yards after catch 99 Average 3.5
    Yards in Air 274 Average 9.8
    Yards in Air+ 330 Average 11.8

     

    The difference between “Yards in Air” and “Yards in Air+” is that I give credit for yards in the endzone in “Yards in Air+.” So, if the line of scrimmage is the 2 and he throws a TD pass that’s caught 7 yards into the endzone, the YIA for that play is 2 while the YIA+ is 9.… Article continues here
