The John B ratio is a stat I invented two weeks ago before the Saints game. It shows a team's run-pass ratio when a certain running back back, tight end, or wide receiver is on the field. This gives a small hint as to what an opponent's tendency might be. I have never seen anybody else produce this stat so I named it after myself.
It obviously isn't perfect. Some of the data is obvious. When reserve receivers play, it is usually on passing downs or when a team is way behind an needs to throw it.
At any rate, it gives us a ballpark idea of what a team is likely to do when a given player is on the field.
