This week, our Alex Vigderman operationalized clutch.

What we mean when we say that is that he combined our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points, with a leverage index of his creation which allowed us to assess which quarterbacks fare best and raise their game in high-leverage situations.

Here are three 1st-and-10 situations around midfield that have different leverage indices by our calculations.

Average leverage: 1st quarter, 4 minutes left, 7 point lead

High leverage (1.5x average): 4th quarter, 4 minutes left, tie game

Low leverage (0.5x average): 2nd quarter, 4 minutes left, 13 point lead

Alex took each quarterback’s relative success in fourth quarters and high-leverage situation (compared to the rest of their plays) and averaged them to create a “clutch composite.”

You’re probably not surprised to learn that Patrick Mahomes ranked No. 1 among current quarterbacks with at least 1,500 dropbacks and carries. But were you expecting Kyler Murray to be high on that leaderboard? How about Carson Wentz? They’re on it.

Alex also looked at where Bo Nix, Justin Fields, Drake Maye, Sam Darnold, and Michael Penix Jr. stand.

Read the article to get into the nitty gritty of it.

And on this week’s Off The Charts Football Podcast, Alex, James Weaver, Matt Manocherian, and Bryce Rossler do some trade deadline and midseason awards analysis.

“Drops have been a major issue for Jacksonville. Per Sports Info Solutions, its 21 drops are the seventh-most through nine games since 2020, and its 9.1% team drop rate is ninth-highest in that span. Fourteen of those have come over the middle of the field.”
