I don't think we were looking ahead to the Falcons. I think it's even weirder - they just were so sure they'd arrived they didn't need to prepare for the Saints as hard.

PFF.

I don't get that call. Your leading rusher is your QB...

Hahaha the man was getting the call before that flop

For future seasons I think

Hey dude, same to you!

Great video

Deserves it's own thread

Baker was also atrocious for us. We lost often because of him. Similarly, Bryce's record as a starter is at least partially because of his own play. That includes losses and wins when games were close.

I was there first.

Not sure the relevance to Bryce Young.

It's AI, just how it works, lol

Bryce is 11-15 in games of two scores or less. He's 1-13 in games with score differentials beyond 15. He may be clutch but he's also lost plenty of one and two scores games.

Good god lol What a find hahah

Plenty of us were posting on other forums then and were here for Jake after 2003 and also Matt Moore etc. You're acting like this is Bryce Young's first season and not his third.

I guess it's nice he leads the NFL in some kind of statistical category but this one is basically meaningless in context.

No, it's a good read if it gets enough yards and other options were worse. This is all because I said a check down isn't always a bad read. I'm not saying it isn't a check down, but if half his throws are basically past 10 yards down field and a good chunk of those less than that were to WRs (and often our #1/#2) then I'm not worried about check downs that game. Doesn't mean I'm sold on the guy. Given Bryce's limitations whether a WR receiving a ball late in 'progression' 5-10 yards down field is a true check down or not is difficult for us to evaluate because we don't know the playcall.

Nah it's all good, I've run those numbers, too. It's why I think yesterday was just better. He needs to continue to be able to hit intermediate throws with high success. I doubt he can. If he does, meh, we'll see if that can happen.

Where in my post did you see behind the LoS? I said within 5 yards of the LoS. Sure the flat goes a bit further but if his check down is 8-10 yards down field and everyone else is covered further, that's a good gain. He threw the ball 30+ times 5+ yards past the los. He targeted RBs 10 total times. This isn't the same as his past performance.

Fewer than half of Bryce's passes last game were within 5 yards of the LoS. May only have been 1/3rd even. He's guilty of what you say in many games but he was going down field much more last game. If a receiver is settling into a spot in zone coverage down field that isn't a check down...

Bryce definitely has taken too many of them in his time at QB but there are times it's a good decision. I don't really see the point in harping about check downs yesterday though.

Yes and often it's the right read. But he did far more beyond the sticks this game than usual

I don't think deep in the fan sense matters much, honestly. I still think he needs to be able to consistently place passes well up to 20 yards and that's what is more critical. He did that yesterday - he was basically 7/11 on passes 15-25 yards and that's good enough that it also opens up passes all over the rest of the field. In week 10 he was 1/2 in that range; week 9 2/3 with an int; week 7 he was 0/4. Anyway we need more of that... He needs to be stressing defenses past the sticks for us to open up the rest of the offense.

He definitely went thru his progressions yesterday and it did pay off. Of course he still had his misses... But a great game overall. Doesn't mean I want to hang onto him for what he's shown do far.

I didn't say he would, lol. I said if he could. Look back at the end of last year - Same deal. He shows up every few games and executes. Need consistency at QB and he hasn't been it.
