    It's all just Bryce dragging the average down*.

     

     

     

    *I'm joking, but there is a little bit of truth to it. A better QB would have probably thrown for 40 more yards a game which would bump up the league avg more than a yard.

    He isn't the last QB in YPG. There are a few actually below him.

    They have been the same per game the past decade

    The variance back to 1990 was only 2.4. If anything, the rushing attempts have been one of the most stable aspects over that span.

    Output had some significant variance and efficiency. It was the passing offense that was far more volatile.

    Rushing attempts are the same as 10 years ago. Passing attempts are down.

    Possibly related to less good qbs and coaches playing the clock differently 

    Rushing attempts PG are actually the 5th lowest since 1990.

    The Chiefs have a, I have enough rings and I don't care anymore problem. 

    I think that is a very, very. VERY small issue with them. I think they just generally aren't as good as they used to be. If you look across the board at their roster, the talent level isn't as high. 

  5. I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages.

    The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago). 

    I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.

    I personally love to see balance and parity in the NFL. Defenses have adjusted to the passing attacks and have made it difficult to play QB again. For a while it seemed like anyone can do it.  Hopefully it also means they will stop overpaying QBs and invest in other assets, win as a team rather than just relying on elite QBs. Resurgence of the running game has brought the game back to where it was about 15-20 years ago.  

    I don't think the statistics bear out this viewpoint.

    The NFLPA pushed for less contact in practices to cut down on injuries but I'm not sure it's working out that way. There's a fine line you gotta walk between practicing too hard and getting your body ready to play. Football players have to have contact, fighters have to spar. You can overdo it but if you underdo it that's not gonna work either.

    I don't think it has much to do with that. You just can't keep increasing the amount of games without this being inevitable.

    fug PS spots, the NFLPA should push for larger game day rosters the next time 18 games comes up.

    He makes a couple of big plays and everyone thinks he's a hidden gem.  IMO he holds onto the ball way too long and He plays off script mostly.   Just not a fan. 

    He is going to have to change considerably from what he was in college for him to become a long term NFL starter.

    I hate that happened. He tried to play through it to help his team with a playoff push and its gonna end up costing him tens of millions of dollars. He'll probably be signing another one or two year deal to prove he can comeback from it instead of either getting tagged next year or signing a big extension. Just sucks, but ultimately he'll be just fine financially after all that money he fleeced the Giants out of.

    It also REALLY fugs up the Colts future plans.

    Which was my point. And entrenched starter can lose his job due to extremely poor play and Bryce has had literally the worst QB play in the NFL since being drafted. He hasn't even had to face a remotely capable QB in camp and he's being kept starter for some other reason than performance after 3 years. I'd call that coddling. 

    I don't think it's coddling, I think it's straight denial.
