2016 - 11.36 yards per completion (league average 10.73) - Rank 8th
2015 - 10.43 yards per completion (league average 10.83) - Rank 20th

Compare the running game numbers. When you are behind, you throw more. When you can run at will, you take less chances in the air.

Maybe it's because it's late, but I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. Rm1369 was making the point that the current low sack rate may be a product, at least in part, of the fact that Luck has been making quicker, shorter throws (as evidenced by his career low YPC number this year) and thus the defensive players haven't had as much time to get to him for a sack.

You bring up the running numbers, but I guess I don't know what you want to compare - are you saying that there should be a correlation between a high sack rate and a poor rushing Yards Per Attempt (YPA) rate? If so, then please back it up with numbers so we can see if it makes sense.

Last two games, how many third and longs did the Colts face? When you can run, you throw on short second downs. You run less 7 step drops. The moment costanzo came back to play, the O line has controlled the line of scrimmage. When you can run the ball, you dictate why YOU throw. You cant run the D dictates when you throw

I get the theory, but my question was whether the real world stats back it up. It sounds like you're saying what I thought - teams who run the ball poorly should have a higher sack rate, since defenses will be better able to predict when they pass. Sounds reasonable enough in theory, but is that how it plays out in real life?

The lack of "thanks" for Puck's useful post is appalling
