Percentage based passing idea

[RavennaAl]

I used passing dice for over 30 years before switching to passing sticks. I like both systems, though I stayed with sticks for this years WMLMF season. One of the things I liked about the way I use dice is that the defense has to decide whether they are going to set up in a passing defense before the play starts. Setting up in a passing defense will open them up to the run, much like real football, but it also rewards the defense with higher % of incompletions and interceptions. I posted the whole system on the Miggle board several yearsago. Here is the link:

If you want to see just how it worked out in real game stats, check out my first season and follow how the QB's did for the year here:

I know that the interception rate is probably higher than what would be normal, but I wanted a system that was simple to use with just 6 sided dice. I could have changed to 8 or 10 sided dice and tweaked the % to lower it some. As it was, I was pretty happy with it and it made the games enjoyable to watch.

What I can't explain is why some QB's had better luck than others even though I was rolling the same dice.
