Josh Allen’s EPA/play against every kind of coverage

[Logic]

Thought this was a really interesting graphic.

 

Mahomes and Allen clearly in a class of their own. The only two QBs in the league who are above average against every coverage.

I just meant the only QB w/positive EPA vs whatever kind of defense

Josh Allen is the only one with a positive rating in every single coverage.

 

Mahomes is negative against Cover 2.

Yes, though Mahomes is negative against Cover 2 his number is still above average.

 

Crazy stuff any way you cut it.

It's alphabetical by first name...

Unless you were just being a wiseguy. Sarcasm is hard to decipher in typed form.

EPA is "expected points added". Just think of it as a measure of success in a particular situation. The higher the EPA, the better.

In this chart, above average EPAs are shades of blue. Below average EPAs are shades of red.

Josh has an above average EPA against every major type of coverage a defense can play. The chart also tells us that he is most successful against Cover 2, Cover 3, and Cover 0 (all out blitz) defenses.
