Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 616695">I wasn't interested enough to try to find out how they defined +/- in 2010.Perhaps there are several dubious propositions that go into it, like this one:"Meanwhile, a 16-yard gain on third-and-20 is also a failed completion, but if the receiver catches the ball 10 yards down the right sideline and then gains 6 YAC, on average that's going to be a more impressive play on his part. Both receivers helped their catch rate and gained the same amount of YAC, but the second receiver overcame more difficult circumstances to produce his play."Besides, if getting a first down distinguishes "failed" from "successful" completions, why isn't Cobb in the top 10?It all strikes me as too clever by half.We do know this:  "The next-to-last column, C%+, is the player's plus-minus divided by the targets."  Therefore, Kenny Stills and Brandin Cooks are the finest wide receivers in all the land on a per target basis, doncha know.</blockquote>
