Here is one more reason why Perry and JW aren't starting material. Look at their completion %s when under pressure compared to other QBs. They pale by comparison. We badly need a good grad transfer QB while Van Dyle learns the ropes.
The best quarterback in this regard in 2019? LSU’s Joe Burrow, who according to Pro Football Focus completed an astonishing 69.4 percent of his passes with 16 touchdowns and one interception with 1,340 passing yards.
Here is a look at the top ten passers in the country amongst Power Five quarterbacks in terms of completion percentage when under pressure, according to PFF.
Note: The minimum drop backs to make this list is 250.
1. Joe Burrow, LSU (69.5%)
2. Tyler Huntley, Utah (61.5%)
3. Tanner Morgan, Minnesota (57%)
4. Kyle Trask, Florida (54.9%)
5. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma (54.4%)
6. Sam Ehlinger, Texas (53.7%)
7. Justin Fields, Ohio State (53.5%)
8. Charlie Brewer, Baylor (53.3%)
9. Jack Coan, Wisconsin (53%)
10. Kedon Slovis, USC (52.7%)
Of the ten quarterbacks listed above, only two played for teams that won less than ten games in 2019—Ehlinger and Slovis. Texas and USC both won eight games this season.
Some other top quarterbacks that just missed the list include Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa (48.9%), Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman (48.7%), Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence (48.1%), and Georgia’s Jake Fromm (47.8%).
The ability to complete at least close to 50 percent of passes under pressure is a big key to success for the modern college quarterback.
According to PFF, college level offensive lines are going to break down on about 33 percent of the total drop backs. Quarterbacks must be effective at navigating these situations.
How did Miami quarterback Jarren Williams perform when he was under pressure? According to PFF, Williams completed 33.7 percent of his passes when under pressure for 374 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Only five Power Five quarterbacks who had at least 250 drop backs had a lower completion percentage.
