It isn't really fair to include his numbers when he was a backup when trying to look at his performance. His Y/A is at 7.1 in starts which is right on the league average. He is low in TD%, but he's also getting rushing TDs, and using his legs a decent amount - 1.3 total TDs per game isn't bad (Bryce and Mayfield are both at 1.6). His YPG in starts puts him at 10th in the league (he's actually 40+ yards above Bryce there, his YPG in stats is 237 vs 192). That said, I'm not "sold" on him. He looks better than a ton of QBs for his team and fact he's a rookie but way too early to say much. Edit: to directly answer your question, his YPG (237) and his completion % (68%) are way above league average, his YPA (7.1) is right at league average. His QB rating in starts is also right at league average (91.6). His INT% is also way below league average (1.7%)

This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.

Yes and no - AT was slow as fug but he sure came down with anything thrown anywhere near him.

I don't see why the media would ever need to know that kind of detail. I think it's reasonable to say that the players didn't follow the play as expected but no need to call one guy out for the wrong technique... And it's his job to get his players prepared.

It was wild. He was so harsh on him. It made it hard to listen to sometimes.

I'm not sure, the way he railed on Thielen last year, lol...

IMPOSSIBLE

Yeah it may be. They need to win out and get help I think, right? Really heartbreaking season for them... And especially how it went down, I feel for Daniel Jones.

Yup. I mean it makes sense tbh. Guy has to make a living. But he has done games where he's been overall critical of Bryce (I think last year, though may be have been early this year).

We'll see if he has a playoff push in him

He's definitely done not great games, or at least games where he's pretty critical of the players decisions. But they're not super common, understandably - the market is smaller for that stuff.

Great stuff. Didn't realize how open TMac was on that awesome play to Coker too (not a criticism of Bryce)

I noticed that too lol.

I watch every one of our games and quite a few Saints games. I look at performance in aggregate and not that one time that a player made a play or sucked. Pass block win rate is irrelevant to how slippery Bryce is. Our OL is much better than the Saints overall (but is still not amazing at pass protection). Shough basically has half a second less in the pocket on average than Bryce has... So if you think Bryce is having to bail fast, well...

If the saints have good pass protection you must really like the Panthers pass protection given how much higher their pass block win rate is, how many fewer sacks they've given up, and how much more time our QBs have to throw. (The Panthers are about league average and the Saints are 30th in pass block win rate)

I think he's been playing injured for a few weeks now. He definitely did not look right.

We have a good rookie TE in relatively limited usage, a OROTY candidate in a rookie WR, a rookie made the game-ending pick, and a rookie got us the game winning points. This is more than just Scourton's play imo.

For CPOE, Bryce is still at -0.6 on the season, good for 23rd in the league. He's been good there the last few weeks but was terrible for the weeks before (-2.9, -0.7, +0.1, -6.6, -4.2).

Bearing Seattle is absolutely something this team can do, but you're also right they can lose to anyone, so who knows.

I think you're right. He's apparently had 5 TDs in the last five games. If he tacks on another two or three and totals over 1k, especially if we win the division, I feel like he gets it.

The refs have been insanely inconsistent the last few weeks with DPI. They're definitely letting corners play TMac very physically.

He's got 7 now it looks like (I have last count)... 1k is definitely within reach. https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4685472/tetairoa-mcmillan Hoping he can put up 75ish each of the next two weeks with a TD or three.

We're well below the league average on points per possession, so it isn't just ball control / defense. The reality is our offense, especially our passing offense (rushing is ranked 10th, passing 26th), isn't moving the ball well overall. But hey, we're winning and at least to me we are ahead of schedule as a team (I thought next year was competing for the division).

He's been good at protecting the ball overall the second half of the season it seems.

horn getting DPI for waving a finger and that mfer just tackled someone before the ball was even there, hahaha. also Drake Maye is damn good
