What Are Attempts Thrown Away?

Attempts Thrown Away records the total number of passes intentionally thrown out of bounds or to no target to avoid a sack or loss. This NFL player stat is an insightful NFL advanced stat for evaluating decision-making and risk management under pressure. While throwaways reduce the chance of a completed pass, they can prevent turnovers and negative yardage. In NFL team stats, tracking throwaways can reveal quarterback tendencies, offensive line effectiveness, and how often a passer chooses to live for the next play instead of forcing a risky throw.
