Red Zone Scoring
One of the primary problems that bedeviled the Bears offense throughout 2016 was their frustrating inability to punch the ball in for touchdowns whenever they got in the red zone. According to stats they managed a TD on just 51.01% of their trips inside the opposing 20-yard line. Much of why they struggled was because none of their quarterbacks had a feel for making plays in that area. This is going to be a big area of study during the draft. Which of the QBs had the most success getting six points when he had chances?
The stats will be divided into parts. How many red zone trips his offense made in 2016, how touchdowns were scored and then how many of those touchdowns were directly connected to him. Both throwing and running will be counted. Then the stat will determine how often the offense scored a TD in the red zone and the percentage of those TDs that the quarterback had a hand in.
