[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 263491, member: 195"] Yeah, I've been posting a points per drive stat on here for a few years and have regularly made the point about the use of per drive, per play and per game stats. I hardly need you to tell me to listen to CPJ on the topic. The point with the use of any statistic is to understand its strength and weaknesses. If you want to discuss ranking of various teams against each, then efficiency stats like points/drive and yards/play is better than per game stats due to the significant variability in number of drives and number of plays per game currently. However, if you want to assess the strength of a defense against the pass, then you want to look at more than just one stat. If defensive pressure is decreasing the number of pass plays and increasing the number of sacks, then perhaps yards/attempt goes up for some teams. Moreover, if you want to assess the quality of a coach, then you don't look at one game or one season but a series of games/seasons. [/QUOTE]
