What does that analysis tell us?

The problem with this analysis is that it requires way too much projection and it ignores the evidence you have in front of you.

What I mean by that is that when you speak in absolutes about regression, you are implying that the only thing that changed in the equation was the results. That isn’t true, the entire way that Tannehill was used and the supporting cast were all changed this past season and you can’t compare what he did in Miami to what he did in Tennessee like one matters and the other one is an illusion.

Also, if you are going to point out players who could or should have down season in 2020 then you need to talk about some of your top-10 teams like the Baltimore Ravens. Do we think that Lamar Jackson is going to dominate the NFL again or has the NFL shown a history of correcting well to specific running QBs after a dominant year?

What about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? The article itself says that:

"His completion percentage (60.8), yardage (4,057), yards per attempt (6.6) and touchdowns (24) dipped even with an uptick in attempts, and while he went 12-4, he finished just 17th in QBR at 53.7."

And then goes on to say why this year will be different, but doesn’t address how those problems got worse as the year went on. At 43, we shouldn’t expect Brady to have an amazing season, and as far as “QB rooms” go, having Blaine Gabbert as the QB2 shouldn’t be exciting for any team.
