Can you find comparisons from other well regarded QB's? Obviously the further down the field you go, the less likely you're going to complete the pass. Just wondering what the drop off is with other QB's.

I read somewhere that he isn’t good when under pressure (maybe lance?). 60% isn’t awful. Most years, that’s better than our guys with a clean pocket.
 
Interesting that 55.6% deep right puts him in the top 25th percentile, while 57.9% deep left puts him in middle 50 percentile.

Lashlee definitely requires his QB to test defenses vertically. King looks like he is capable. The red block (Deep center) is misleading because the sample size is too low.

Man, I am giddy.

No its not misleading. It's very telling actually. In practice(assumption) and throughout the season he performed better when passing to his right. So the coaches had more calls where the primary read is on his right. There's a reason why at every level, his attempts to the right alone are more than over the middle/left put together. He must be very uncomfortable throwing over the middle (which makes sense considering he's a relatively undersized QB) so they purposely avoided those zones.

I am simply saying the sample size is too low to judge. Had he went 3/5 instead of 2/5, it would be a green box instead of red.

And, as you note, you are relying on a lot of assumptions to support your conclusion.

My note for assumption was that it was the same in practice.
54% of his passes were to the right side of the field. 15% of his passes were over the middle. Thats a pattern, not a coincidence. Most right handed QBs favor the right side of the field. Either Major Applewhite/Kendall Briles didn't like targeting the middle of the field too often, or avoided it and played to his strengths.
