Fourth Quarter Comebacks too low?

TroyF · 11-27-2016, 07:32 PM

Just started a career after building 12 years of history. The top comeback QB has 6.

There has been a combined total of 5 comebacks from the starting QB's in my league. That includes Russell Wilson, Teddy Bridgewater, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck who are all still active.

That seems pretty low to me. Is anyone else seeing those numbers or am I off base in thinking they are low?

Looks similarly broken in my shorter career.

Heh. Interesting. Hadn't noticed, but it looks wayyyyyyy lower than FOF2K7/FOF7. I've got a 50-year FOF8 career saved. Leader has 10. Just checked several leagues in FOF7, and the norm for a career leader after 20-30 years is that there are a few guys in the 30s. Makes me wonder if it's being calculated differently.

It's not counting them properly.

New York Giants	10	7	3	0	-	20
Green Bay Packers	0	17	0	7	-	24

Scoring Summary
1Q: 09:10 NYK - Bill Barnes 24 field goal
1Q: 00:13 NYK - Shannon Franklin 5 pass from Kody Gatson (Bill Barnes extra point)
2Q: 07:27 GBY - O.J. Alfonso 1 pass from K.C. Neufeldt (Jalen Luxmore extra point)
2Q: 04:50 GBY - Christian Bates 63 interception return (Jalen Luxmore extra point)
2Q: 01:12 NYK - Zach Lowther 29 pass from Kody Gatson (Bill Barnes extra point)
2Q: 00:03 GBY - Jalen Luxmore 25 field goal
3Q: 07:02 NYK - Bill Barnes 35 field goal
4Q: 04:28 GBY - Scott Roehl 40 pass from K.C. Neufeldt (Jalen Luxmore extra point)

He should definitely have at least one.

Yes, he got robbed there.

Here is some interesting reading on the history of 4th-q QB comebacks:

I sent a note to Jim on it this morning. Not a monster deal, but cheering for the Broncos and Elway, it's one of those things I look at quite a bit. More than most people probably.
